the places my mind ends up when it doesn't watch where it's going

This is not the post I had scheduled for today. Watch for that one to show up at noon. But here's a quickie just for now.

I had occasion to stop by dictionary.com this morning, and I saw that the word of the day is "espy." Well, that led me naturally to the clip below, from the movie Beaches (Yep, I saw that one back in college - and bawled like a five-year-old). You have to listen carefully to catch that one little word (and you'll probably be too busy gaping at the visuals to do that), but ever since I saw this scene, that one little line, "He espied an Aida," has stuck in my mind. So here you go. Enjoy.
