I'm glad I read the whole Anhedonia link---I was about to book my flight to DC-
Ha! Anhedonia!
I can't remember where I first read that "Anhedonia" was the working title for ANNIE HALL and how it just seemed to make sense to me, even though the definition is so unfunny and depressing.
In the 70s and 80s, I loved Woody Allen.
The Doctor and I occasionally quote from LOVE AND DEATH.
Man, I need to do me a personal Woody retrospective, the heck! Maybe it'll at least get me to catch up with MATCHPOINT...
i forgot you and your annie hall tradition. well done!
How I ever got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing.
