I gotta wonder what we can learn from our past... like that story about Christine's grandfather Otto and his involvement with Nazi Germany. It's crazy to think how one person's actions can impact so many lives, especially during times of war 🤯. As a parent, it's my job to teach my kids about history and the importance of empathy and understanding different perspectives. I'm not saying we should forget or gloss over these dark periods, but maybe we can try to approach them with a little more nuance and compassion? 😊
 
meh, another Sunday morning episode that's just gonna make me feel all warm fuzzy inside... 🤷‍♂️ I mean, don't get me wrong, it's nice to learn about our country's history and stuff, but let's be real, the Nazis were super sketchy. It's weird that Christine Kuehn's grandfather was a spy for them and she's just sharing his story like nothing bad ever happened. 🤔 And what's up with Ethan Hawke playing a heartbroken guy? Is he trying to say something about the fleeting nature of creativity or what? 🎭 I guess it's cool that Jan Karon shared some insight into her book, but can't she just write something more exciting than "love, loss, and redemption"? 😴 And Frank Gehry's architecture is...fine, I guess. Not exactly my cup of tea. The whole thing just feels like a bunch of fluff to me. 🙄
 
I feel so sorry for Christine Kuehn sharing her family's dark past 🤕. I can only imagine how hard it must be to confront your own family history. It's crazy how some secrets can stay hidden for so long, yet still have such a profound impact on our lives today 💔.
 
😊📺 just watched that episode of Sunday Morning 📺😊 and I'm still reeling from the convo about Otto's espionage story 💥 it's crazy to think about how one family's history can be so complex & dark 😕 but also kinda fascinating? 💡 meanwhile, Ethan Hawke is SO good in Blue Moon 🎥👍 Jan Karon's writing always feels like a warm hug ❤️ and have you seen Frank Gehry's buildings?! mind. blown. 🤯✨
 
I gotta say, it's crazy how some people can be so torn between loyalty and morality, like Otto Kuehn. Spying for Nazi Germany during WWII? That's some heavy stuff 🤯. It makes you think about the complexities of human nature and how easily we can get caught up in the wrong side of history.

And I'm intrigued by that episode on Frank Gehry - his designs are so unique, it's like he's speaking a different language 🏢. I love how the show is exploring all these different stories and themes, it keeps you engaged and makes you think about life in a new way.

It's also great to see people sharing their experiences and insights, like Jan Karon, she's got this amazing way of drawing inspiration from everyday life 💡. Anyway, if you haven't checked out "Sunday Morning" yet, I'd definitely give it a shot - there's some really interesting stuff going on 📺.
 
🤔 I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole espionage thing... like, how do you even get caught up in that kinda drama? But what's crazy is how it can be tied to all these other historical events like Pearl Harbor. It just goes to show how interconnected everything is, and how one decision (or action) can have such far-reaching consequences 🌎

And omg, I loved the segment on Frank Gehry! His designs are always so inspiring, and it's amazing to see how his architecture has impacted the world 🏢💡
 
meh, i just learned something new today 🤯 - that my grandparents aren't as innocent as they thought 😂. it's crazy to think about how one person can have such a complicated history, you know? espionnage and loyalty is like, so not what i'd expect from someone who seemed nice 👀. anyway, the episode about frank gehry was actually pretty cool 🤝 his designs are insane!
 
🤔 I mean, I feel like we're always learning something new about our history, but it's so important to remember where we come from. My kids are getting older and they're starting to ask more questions about the past, so I'm loving all these stories being shared on Sunday Morning 📚👀. It's crazy to think about how one person's actions can impact so many lives - Christine Kuehn's story is really eye-opening 🤯. And that conversation with Ethan Hawke about Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's partnership is just fascinating 💭. I love how the show explores different perspectives and themes, it's like a big ol' puzzle piece falling into place 🎨
 
I'm still reeling from this episode 🤯. Did you know that only 13% of Americans are aware of the US government's wartime internment of Japanese Americans during WWII? 😱 It's crazy to think about how many secrets can be hidden in plain sight. And speaking of secrets, have you ever heard of Operation Paperclip? Apparently, over 1,600 German scientists were brought to the US after the war and got away with their espionage crimes 🤔. Mind blown! 👀

By the way, did you know that Frank Gehry's architecture firm has a net worth of around $2 billion 💸? That's some serious influence. Anyway, back to the episode... I loved hearing about Jan Karon's writing process and how she draws inspiration from everyday life 📚. It's so refreshing to see authors talk about their creative struggles rather than just promoting their books 🙄.

Also, I noticed that CBS News has over 2.5 million followers on Twitter 👍. That's impressive! And have you seen the views on Ethan Hawke's latest film? Over 10 million in its first week of release 🎥. The man is a genius! 🤓

Oh, and one more thing... did you know that Pearl Harbor is visited by over 2 million people each year? 🌴 It's crazy to think about how many people are still drawn to this historic site every year.

I'm gonna go watch some Frank Gehry designs now... they're a work of art! 🎨
 
🤔 I gotta say, that's quite a range of topics they tackled in one episode 📺. People have different perspectives on history, and I think it's great that they brought Otto Kuehn's story to light 👊. Can't just dismiss the past as 'bad' or 'good', we gotta understand where we came from, right? And Ethan Hawke's portrayal of Lorenz Hart is super interesting 🎬. What's wild is how complex relationships can be – creative partnerships are like that 💡. But what really got me was the archival piece on Pearl Harbor 🕊️. It's crazy to think about how one event can impact an entire country's trajectory in history 🌍. The web exclusive on Frank Gehry's architecture is also dope 🔥. Sometimes I feel like our focus is too much on 'innovation' and not enough on understanding the context behind it 🤷‍♂️. Anyway, love how "Sunday Morning" tries to cover a wide range of topics 👍.
 
Umm... I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing 🤯 I mean, espionage and loyalty issues with your grandfather? That's heavy 💔 And Ethan Hawke playing a broken Hart? That sounds like such an emotional role 🎬 What was it about their partnership that made him so heartbroken? Was it just the business side or something more personal? 🤔
 
I find it really fascinating how our past can come back to haunt us in unexpected ways 🤯. I was watching this episode of Sunday Morning and they were talking about Christine Kuehn's grandfather who spied for Nazi Germany during WWII... it's crazy to think that these people, ordinary people with families and lives just like ours, made choices that led them down a dark path 💔. And then you have actors like Ethan Hawke playing roles that are so complex and human... it makes you realize how much we can learn from the struggles of others 📚.
 
🤔 I'm kinda fascinated by Otto's story, it's crazy how something that feels so dark and twisted can be explored in a way that's not preachy or judgmental. The complexity of human loyalty & morality is what makes this stuff so compelling. And Ethan Hawke's take on Lorenz Hart's character? 💔 So hauntingly beautiful. I love how "Sunday Morning" always manages to balance the light with the heavy topics 🌞💔
 
Ugh, can you believe people still don't know about their own family history? 🤯 I mean, Otto Kuehn's story is crazy - spying for the Nazis during WWII... it's like, what were they even thinking?! 😱 And now his grandchild is sharing that with the world. It's like, a reminder of how easily we can get sucked into something bigger than ourselves and lose sight of our values.

And on a completely different note, have you seen Ethan Hawke in "Blue Moon"? 🤔 He's seriously talented... I love how he brings heartbreak to his characters. It's so relatable, you know? 💔 But what's even more interesting is the history behind Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's partnership. It's like, this complicated web of creativity and loyalty... it's hard not to feel for them.

I'm also really fascinated by Frank Gehry's work. 🏢 The way he pushes boundaries with his architecture is just mind-blowing... and his legacy is so inspiring. I mean, the fact that he's still innovating at 90+ years old? That's what we can all learn from. 💫 Anyway, gotta go, but seriously... have you guys caught up on "Sunday Morning" yet? 📺
 
It's crazy how our past can shape who we are today, you know? Like Christine Kuehn's grandfather Otto, he was part of something so dark and complex during WWII, but it's still a part of his family's history. And now his story is being shared with the world... it makes me think about how our actions (or inactions) can have such far-reaching consequences. 🤔

And Ethan Hawke talking about Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's partnership got me thinking, what does it mean to collaborate with someone? Is it just about creating something beautiful together, or is there an unspoken understanding of loyalty and betrayal? 💭

I wonder if we can learn from the past to build a better future... but at the same time, I don't know if we should be so quick to judge others for their actions. Maybe Otto's story can teach us something about forgiveness and redemption? 🌱
 
I just watched that episode of Sunday Morning and it was so interesting to learn about Otto Kuehn's story, I mean, who knew that his family had a spy in it? 🤯🕵️‍♂️ And Ethan Hawke talking about Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's complicated partnership, it's crazy how creative partnerships can be. I loved the archival piece on Pearl Harbor, it really put things into perspective. I'm also fascinated by Frank Gehry's life and work, his designs are just incredible 🏙️💥
 
OMG, I'm still thinking about that convo on "Blue Moon" 🎬🌕. I love how Ethan Hawke portrayed Lorenz Hart's heartbreak - it was so intense! But you know what's even more interesting? The history behind Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's partnership... I mean, can you imagine working with someone who's your best friend AND your rival at the same time? 😂🎶
 
I wonder if people even care about their grandpa's spy life anymore 🤔. I mean, it's not like they're still hiding secrets or something. I think Ethan Hawke did a great job in that movie though, he always brings that whole brooding thing to his roles 🎥.

Dec 7th is definitely a significant day, especially with Pearl Harbor and all. You know, it's crazy how some events can just shape the entire country like that 🌏. I'm more of an architecture buff myself, so Frank Gehry is my jam 🗼️.
