On first seeing "Inside Out"

This afternoon I went to see "Inside Out". It has gotten great reviews, and Son 1 recommended it enthusiastically.

I loved it. And I think I want to write more about it ... about, for example, how important it was that Sadness got integrated in with the rest of the emotions, how in fact Sadness -- not Joy -- is the hero of the movie and the one who saves Riley from her impending nervous breakdown and Very Big Mistake.

But it's late, so all that will wait for another day. For now, all I want to point out is the brilliant coincidence that Sadness looks so very, very much like Wife did, back when I first met her. It's uncanny.
