Ripples, David...remember the ripples. Each and every one of us - every
day - effect the lives of those we will never see again...hopefully in
the positive. I still have fond memories of a kindness, or a smile, which
made a rotten day easier to slog through, and, usually, enabled me to pay
it forward. I like the subtlety of JOA, both seasons, and look forward to
each new episode. In most cases I allow my eye to pay more attention to
some of the 'extras' in a scene...often I note a change of expression
which lets me know for certain that Joan (and the rest of us) are having
an effect on everyone else. Kinda like this news group, eh? ;-)
