Praying for your Earthlink! *grin*
Off to bed I go! Good night, Hobbit Hole!
Goodnight Ruthy!
Ramius reports that he is having a "heap of trouble" posting on FR. Not sure why, he can read, but it hangs up when he tries to post. He may try later from home.
I thought he was getting ready for wedding moot and finding a really good hiding place for his car!
I love the music when the camera is flying over the mountains as each beacon is lit in turn!
Green Bay is usually Republican--Joseph McCarthy was from around here, it's pretty conservative. But I figure he's stopping here on his way to Milwaukee, which is more liberal. At any rate, please feel free to keep him there, we don't want him, LOL!
I like the sense that these guys have been standing ready for oh-so-many years, keeping everything prepared for the lighting of the beacons, and then still be so very prepared to light them promptly. There was nary a glitch in the whole sequence and the magnificent view of the scenes going from one mountain top to the next was incredible. Funny that such an almost insignificant part of the whole thing should affect me the way it does.
Sounds like fun, but we're doing house remodel stuff this weekend. SSQ is taking vacation days on Friday and Tuesday, so we'll have nice long stretch to work. I'll break in the middle ( on Sunday) to take Clare, Joseph, and a couple of their friends up to VT where they'll be attending a homeschool summer camp for the week. Then it's back to the grindstone! ;o)
Since I'm driving up, I won't have to go back to get them on the following Friday. One of the other Mamas will do the picking up!
testing?
Hey there... well, we'll see how long this lasts. Seems to be working now.
I stopped on the way to the 'partment and got my copy of the ROTK. Watching it now, but I don't know how far I'll get.
I agree about the lighting of the fires sequence. Really gets to me too. don't know zactly why.
The beacon scene was one of my favorite parts. BTW I was talking to my friend from Tibet about that scene once and he said they have a relay system like that there, too, which I thought was cool.
NO FAIR!!!! FOUL!!!!

I can't explain that either. But, it really *affects* me. And I mean that in a wholly good way. It is a little thing in the whole scheme of the story... but so absolutely awe-inspiring to me! :-)
Yes Ramius?
Pippin is messing with the bowling ball of fire now.
Will I dream?
Hello all!
Got a bit of a cough...making my bronchial tubes sore. Gonna have a cup of decaf coffee with some DaVinci Caramel syrup in it and a tablespoon of cream. Mmmmmmm!
I've been having heap big networking trouble with the trusty laptop for the last week or so.
At the office today it was getting goofy too. Couldn't track it down. Didn't make sense. But then the problem up and went away, so I couldn't chase it anymore. Then it got wacky at the waterin' hole. We'll see if it stays together here at the bachpad.
I don't know.
How come you only pinged me?
