3:10 to Yuma was the best movie I’ve watched in a long time. Great Father/Son movie.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Well, I hope you enjoy it. I think the only complaint I had was that the studio sessions in the movie were too long, otherwise it was an excellent movie and there music was great. The best thing was that their relationship in the movie avoided the usual cliches they could have fallen into.

Aww - Marketa’s back on the stage. Well done, Oscar.

Thank you and thank your husband, too!

That is just the most gorgeous music, and I keep forgetting what movie it's from, so I've never been able to buy the soundtrack.

I’m trying to recall ... mostly it was dirt on how they met, their relationship, etc. I was most intrigued by the method. LOL

That wouldn’t have been Stewart’s call. Someone above him called that one.

um, read much, Cammy?

Again. Can anyone explain her appeal to me? in a way that meets with reality and common logic, please.

Hillary Swank reminds me of a guy I used to know.

Swank’s dress looks like 1/2 of a hammock.
