Great point. Did you see it, Robert?

Hi tiger. I thought I'd find you on that Anna thread. And somehow I KNEW you'd like the picture at #8. Where's dubya?

"You guys pull yourselves together!"

I thought the movie was a lot of fun.

Good morning, most lovely pet.

We saw MIB II on Thursday. Also, The Remnant, (book 10 in the LaHaye/Jenkins Left Behind series), hit the stores on Tuesday, July 2. I bought it that night and was finished reading in on Thursday morning. It is pretty much non-stop, edge-of-your-seat reading. Have you picked it up yet?

[xsmommy]

no, vast, i haven't had a chance to get the book either. i am woefully behind with my life! i am dying to read it, and am glad to hear it is gripping. i thought the last one was a tiny bit slow.
