Really Ill

You know I haven't been really sick like this and long time, but the flu that has been going around, it seems has finally caught up with me. I have a fever which has me alternately freezing and sweating, I'm light headed, dizzy and achy and just generally miserable. One of the worst things about this flu is that it also seems to keep me from sleeping. Gina is just getting over this same flu and now of course the grandkids have it as well. So I'm watching Cosmos and I have DVD's of UFO and SHOGUN and of course Star Trek: TNG on deck and ready to go.
See you next week some time.

Gina Update

We just found out there is a shot a few seconds long of Gina on the behind the scenes disk of "American Gangster". (On Disk 2, under behind the scenes, The Frazier -Ali fight.) It's not very long but it's a nice clear shot.
Also on Thursday Gina worked on a project called "Will" that features David Bowie and Vanessa Hudgens. For those of you that are counting that makes three days last week.
Let's hope she can keep up the pace.

Casey Knowles for Obama '08

Good stuff.

Gina Update

Gina was just on tonight's Law and Order, "Angelwood" is the name of the episode.
She was a cop in the background and she was a body in the morgue, right next to the primary body. She's been working pretty regularly for the past few weeks.
She already got two days in this week.

Arthur C. Clarke . . . is dead

Whatever his flaws this man had a huge impact on myself, and many of my friends, to say nothing of the world at large.

Barack Obama

The truth, simple, direct and honest.
I do not agree with every word of this. I am not some awe struck, empty minded, fanatic for Barack; and yet I am moved by the power of this speech. When did Hillary Clinton or John McCain ever give such a speech, or in any way, demonstrate this kind of clear minded leadership and personal integrity? Where I disagree with him I nonetheless understand and respect his point of view and that gives me hope.
