Oh good, I had posted the announcement in another thread but was unable to watch live myself. I think it's shameful it wasn't carried by all networks, but instead cartoons and informercials as usual.

As for reading, I seem to be collecting fiction. I just bought a couple set in various wartimes.

My most stirring recent read was Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley, the son of one of the flag-raisers at Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima. I gained a deeper appreciation of our WWII heroes and veterans.

That's a great book, Dita - I read it when it first came out.

Dita, I posted it here on this thread as soon as it started! Guess no one saw it. I could watch again!
