Deuce Cities Henhouse

So this post is a little off the usual topics around here, but I couldn't resist writing about it. Last weekend we watched the documentary "Salinger." How I made it not knowing this doc existed is mind blowing to me, but it does. Like many people, Catcher in the Rye changed my life when read it at the age of 12.
