Folie à deux

Folie à deux

At the moment, my mind is racing.  As I get older (and I’m on the upside of 75), it becomes more of a challenge to organize one’s thinking and write academically, and this post will be particularly difficult because it involves a comparison and contrast between two nations in two different time periods, a discussion of an unusual form of mental illness (Folie à deux), and a movie review.  About the only thing missing here is my mother’s recipe for Sauerbraten, though I’ll include it...
