[Thursday] Current War Movie

[Craig Moody]

I saw the movie on Sunday, and I was right.  It sparked further interest in
researching some things that I did not know.  It was more about
relationships amongst the inventors/physicists/scientists than it was about
the technical aspect of AC and DC.  It was entertaining enough for me to do
some more reading.

I did read Empires of Light. Sometimes I just like to see a movie to see
how things might be portrayed.

I also own a commemorative coin from the Chicago Columbian Exposition
(World's Fair) that I found in my Dad's station wagon when I was
8-years-old, so that part was interesting to me.

I'm glad I saw the movie so that I wouldn't have to wonder whether or not I
would like it.  I did.
