I've reached that age in life where my life has become The Big Chill and I'm listening to the soundtrack in my office before class. This iconic film has gotten me through so much in life since I was a teen....death...love...ageing....Thank you #LawrenceKasdan and Barbara Benedek.

Still here as well as the blue butterfly. Same handle :D .
