Knights of Knee: We often save good conversation for the trail, but sometimes we don't see you for awhile. Feel free to chime in here in reply on:

As for me: Rich and I went to see the movie Sideways at the new Century 16 cinema in Beaverton. I highly recommend this film - I think Paul Giamatti deserves Best Actor for it. It is very entertaining while being utterly realistic in every emotional detail. It's the story of 2 forty-something guys off for a week of winetasting in California, each with a different agenda. It made me go out and buy some pinot noir. It earns it's R rating for sex and language, but it's a refreshing slice of life low on violence and high on real human emotions and experiences.

TV: Now that I have my VCRs both working and figured out Comcast Digital's "record" feature, I'm being sure not to miss Long Way Round, Mythbusters, The Amazing Race, Survivor, and The Apprentice. Ewan reaches the end of the road next Thursday.

On Tape: I watched my DVD of Moulin Rouge again on Wednesday. It had been many months. Ah, the best movie of all time (unless you hate Nicole Kidman...as for me, I really don't notice anybody in it but Mr. McGregor).

Reading: I'm reading the Long Way Round book as well as watching the TV show. On my MP3 Player I'm listening to the fourth book of the "Master and Commander" series of seagoing tales.

Pets: I enjoyed meeting my sister's new kitten at Thanksgiving, an utterly adorable little black and gray tabby, almost as sweet, cute and playful as Carolyn's cat was as a kitten. Meanwhile, the neighbor cat Nipper has usurped our garage cat heating pad and our cat Hershey can't seem to dislodge him.
