Good one, D.

I've been addicted to "Deadliest Catch" ever since it started. Makes me thankful for all fisherman and what they do.

Mystic River Mentioning Kevin Bacon made it an easy connect. Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!

"And the sound of the battle raged Through the streets of the old east side Until the last of the hoodlum gang Had surrendered up or died"

You rock, Tom.

...but not in the library, right Tom? Maybe...up top? Yeah, great memories!

Jonny: Ever thought of working for the Chamber of Commerce? You're a natural. And your love of Alaska is so apparent. Thanks for sharing these little tidbits. You make us feel like we are there. Have a bottle of Windsor on me.

Isn't that the old RKO antenna? As far as movies-well, "War of the Worlds" springs to mind. Or "Citizan Kane". Just makes me think of Orsen Welles for some reason. If it is RKO, which famous TV couple bought that studio in the 50's?

I'm surprised that it's not being turned over to the state as a historic landmark-first Carnegie Library west of the Mississippi and all that. Maybe a Kansas Senator can make it a pork project.

"Excellor sessions this morning will center on Word of Wisdom - we will all take turns operating this manifestation. After Lunch Excellor Sessions will be devoted to Healing - please remember to bring your assigned lame person to the session so that you can heal them during the session. After which we will check to make sure everyone has their snacks that they prepared all year to bring to the class." ROFLMAO!! Good one, Belle!

I admire anyone who can put their feelings in writing-and that one's a doozy. Thanks for having the courage to share with us. Let's hear it for Pipes!

Hi from me, too! Happy to hear about your wife.

This the one you're thinking of, Tom?

BTW-Toadfriend and HCW-where did they go? I miss seeing them around.

Thanks, Pipes-that's beautiful. Learning to play again-like taking a deep breath on a gorgeous spring morning. Re-invigorates the soul.

I swear, Jonny, you make the lower 48 look boring. Love it!

"Who is the band" Alabama Three-and they're not from Alabama-they are British.

Can't answer the movie question, but I agree with Tom about Stripes. The graduation scee is one of my all time favorites-"Jumps over the lazy dog...Sir!"

Bluze-I love those songs: Honey was a favorite. Don't let them rib you-you're alright in my book.

I only have one thought.

Everytime lately that I hear the second one, I always think of "The Big Chill", one of my favorite movies.

I could be wrong, but I believe SS is paid based on the last 40 quarters of work life.

Woo Hoo! Glad you had a good time!

Praying with you, Mooney.

I make a practice of abandoning shows that water down their original premises. This started off great, and lost it too quickly. Not for nothing, but I think that's why Law and Order has weathered the storms. They stay true to premise of the shows, and refuse to get bogged down in the personal lives of the main players. They forge ahead as is, and make it work.
