Thanks, DR Cillaliz. When our niece, Jennifer, took the picture of us she said we were cute. Be sure to tell Samantha.

LOL, I will, she still thinks you're cute

DR TCB - TV ALERT------ ROBERT BALLARD IS ON 60 MINUTES> I missed part of it, but they were talking about the TItanic when I tuned in

Watching Red Cliff Part Two, which is every bit as good as part one, and that's pretty great. Another hour to go.

We have a refrigerator full of Thanksgiving leftovers, so what did we have for supper tonight? Shaddock's pizza, of course!

Ginny, I loved the photos. Please give Richard my heartfelt congratulations.

(I could have sworn I read that your mother was being ordained!)

Thank you, Cilla, I hope I can stay awake that long. This cold is a real doozy.

Thanks, DR TCB! My husband was ordained, but my mother was there, having just celebrated her 91st birthday 2 days ago.

I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you, DR TCB. Also in attendance today was our little friend, Monica. She and my mother share their Nov. 27 birthday, but Monica is 88 years younger than Mom.

Our whole area is reeling from the murder of four of our police officers.

It just dawned on me that I am totally exhausted so I'm going to power down for the night. See y'all tomorrow!

Done with Red Cliff Part Two - these two films are everything Bravehart wishes it could have been. This is an EPIC in the same way the great 70mm epics of old were. It is filled with trademark John Woo bits (but with swords instead of guns), and the performances are wonderful. Don't know if it's available on DVD in region one, but if it is get it. But be warned - for the US theatrical release they combined both parts into one 150 minute movie, so you're basically missing an entire film. Don't, repeat don't get that.

The roof on that one is in much better shape than our potential new house.

Greetings all. I have returned from Long Island after a very nice and relaxing Thanksgiving.

Anthony is still on the Island because tomorrow morning he has Jury Duty.

Dear Tom, the pictures are fun so far, especially that one of you photographing yourself.

Not much else to say right now. I'm tired after the (short) train ride. I actually have 4 days when I have nothing to do!!! What shall I do? I have errands to run tomorrow so I will not not be sitting contemplating my navel, I know that.

Well, now I've seen a film version of UNCLE SILAS abd I still think the heroine is an absolute twit. I would have brained the evil governess with a candlestick as soon as all hell began breaking loose and Uncle Silas would have been dead by the time he threw his tantrums at me. God, she was a passive twit. Even her escape from madness and murder is engineered by the gamekeeper's daughter and the "true love" whose arms she ends up in is a complete cypher. I think Le Fanu did better with his short stories. Peter O'Toole, looking like a really jaded Ted Chapin, was fun and the ending, wherein Silas' son Dudley beats to death the evil Madame la Rougierre while thinking he's killing the heroine, is a hoot.

This, I think, like Daylight Savings Time, just gets earlier and earlier and earlier each year - it's pathetic. I believe they used to have it, in the classic days, a couple of weeks before Christmas or at least in the MONTH in which Christmas occurs.

I spy a Jane or a Keith. All is right with the world if our Jane has returned to us.
