Yes, I know that I’ve been absent here, but I’m totally fine with it. I’m either totally here, or I’m totally in my work. But for now, as an aid to memory, here’s this quote from the film Gladiator that I am always looking up, and thought it would be nice to have handy on the blog in case I ever need to read it again.
We love that movie. Probably has something to do with our time together in Rome when we were first married, or Richard Harris as Marcus Aurelius, or Denise’s hilarious one-time encounter with Russell Crowe.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
