I saw the movie “Picnic” tonight, with William Holden in it, and also Kim Novak. It was made in 1955. Three stars for the rating. I think it was a three star movie. The setting was in a slow, easy Kansas town. William Holden rides into town on a train. He plays a drifter. And once he arrives, everything changes for several people he meets.
He's really good-looking. I didn't really realize that. I saw him once on an “I Love Lucy” show. It was in black and white. He looked older there. Maybe he was.
Anyway, you know, sometimes I think we wish someone new, or something new would drift right into our lives, and make radical changes. Good, but radical changes. Maybe we just need a push in the right direction. Sometimes, any direction would do, just something different. We need to feel alive in many ways.
I guess I need to go to a “picnic” and look for that drifter to come my way.
