Pet ‘n’ Chips

A release date has finally been announced for the DVD of Petula Clark’s 1969 film, Goodbye, Mr. Chips. It’s January 27, as noted on Pet Net and the Petula Blog.

I’ve posted a few clips of Chips, but it’s been — yow! — over a year since the last one. Here’s another sneak peek at the movie. You’ll see Sir Michael Redgrave, father of Vanessa and her sister, Pet’s friend Lynn.


The scene with the tension created by the presence of a brash, younger woman in the midst of a boarding school, reminds me of the real-life story of C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman, as told by Brian Sibley in his book Shadowlands.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs

This picture was scanned from Wednesday’s Boston Globe. I’d read about the talk concerning Steve Job’s health, but this stunned me. In this layman’s view, can there be any doubt that Steve Jobs is dying?
