About this blog

This is my personal blog which I began in February 2001. I called it The Obvious? when I wrote anonymously and chose the name to reflect the fact I have to overcome my inhibitions about stating the obvious!

Celebrity, ageing, nostalgia, intimacy, ...

I've just been watching "The Sound of Music Children - After They Were Famous" on TV�and it had it all of the above (as well as having employed a good mate of mine as researcher).

Amazing to see those famous children as "fifty something"s.

It made me melancholy again thinking of my kids in fifty years time. What will the passage of time have done to the beautiful light shining from their faces, how will joy and sadness have sculpted their bodies, will their "scripts" have been happy or sad?
