Nope, no one was missed. Tom and all three of the kids got knives. He and Susan are so proud of those kids. There was a picture of the three of them, all in their respective dress uniforms, in our local paper this past May when Bill graduated from the Naval Academy. So they have one from each, the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force. Tom was joking that the Air Force graduate is now serving on a ship, while the Navy guy is flying planes! The daughter is considering mustering out when her five years is up in June. She's thinking of going to Med. School.

Saw a really funny and poignant movie tonight. It's Cosi, and it's about a man trying to direct a performance of "Cosi Fan Tutte" in a mental institution. It's an Australian production, so you have to get used to the accents.

One of the patients came in for an audition, and did this foul mouthed rap thing, that was hilarious. I was staring at him because he looked SO familiar, but I just couldn't place him. I looked up the movie on IMDB, and the character was played by FARAMIR, David Wenham!! This movie was made in 1996, well before LOTR, and he was much slimmer than he was in LOTR, or maybe he just seemed heavier because of all those layers of clothing he was wearing in the movies!

I highly recommend the film, it was extremely funny and very sweet. Oh, and another character in the movie was played by Paul Chubb, who was in the Australian rock group, Men at Work.

How about a Hobbit Hole stocking stuffer of some Pelican high-intensity flashlights in the ever-popular "desert tan"? And any chance of getting hold of that picture from your local paper?
