Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
Well folks, it's time to take a trip down memory lane and talk about one of the greatest comedic masterpieces of all time: Monty Python's Holy Grail. Now, I know some of you might be thinkin': 'Murphy, what does a silly medieval spoof have to do with the world today?' And to that, I say: Everything.
You see, Monty Python's Holy Grail is chock full of lessons that are just as relevant today as they were back in 1975. Let's start with the most obvious one: The power of absurdity.
In the movie, we see King Arthur and his knights embark on a quest for the Holy Grail, but instead of finding a grand and majestic treasure, they come across the Knights Who Say Ni, the Black Knight who refuses to let them pass, and the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. It's all completely ridiculous, but it's also completely hilarious. And that's the point.
In today's world, we're constantly bombarded with serious and heavy news. It can be overwhelming and draining. But sometimes, all we need is a little absurdity to lighten the mood and remind us not to take ourselves too seriously.
Another lesson we can learn from Monty Python's Holy Grail is the importance of persistence. King Arthur and his knights are met with obstacle after obstacle, but they never give up. They keep pushing forward, no matter how absurd the situation gets.
This is a valuable lesson for us all. Life is full of obstacles and setbacks, but it's important to remember that failure is not the end. We need to keep pushing forward and never give up on our dreams.
And finally, we can learn the importance of teamwork. Throughout the movie, King Arthur and his knights work together to overcome the challenges they face. They rely on each other's strengths and support each other through the tough times.
In today's world, we're often encouraged to be independent and self-reliant, but the truth is that we all need a little help from our friends. We need to work together to achieve our goals and make the world a better place.
So, folks, next time you watch Monty Python's Holy Grail, remember that it's not just a silly medieval spoof. It's a film that can teach us valuable lessons about the power of absurdity, persistence, and teamwork. And that, my friends, is something to think about.

Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
