>>>>>>I seem full of recommendations and questions lately. This time I won't gas on and on about it, although I easily could. I am about to watch "Million Dollar Baby" for about the 10th time. IMO it is the best American movie of the past 10 years. Just watch it and enjoy.

>>I just finished my weekly history quiz and aced it with a 91.25 even after 5 points deducted for submitting it a day late. I raped that test, as one of Emily's friends said to her after a test last year. Emily was in a dorm and a passing R.A. said "New phrase, new phrase." Madison is the most politically correct place on the planet. The reason I didn't finish my studying and the quiz yesterday was Emily was embroiled in some personal drama. I consider her undramatic, although that may be a common guy mistake. I thought I was a great dad, really. It made me feel good that I was the one she called. I pulled her sister in and by the end of the day everything was OK again. Sometimes sisters tell each other things they won't tell their parents.

You must live in an odd neighborhood ;-) Sorry to hear about the lack of unattached friends.

Having watched a great movie last night, I am going to watch another one tonight. Tonight it's "The Godfather Part II," the rare exception to the rule that the sequel is never better than the original. It's a shame that Al Pacino was in the original and Robert DeNiro was in the sequel, never together. They eventually did make it into a classic scene together in "Heat." There are at least three classic scenes in that movie, including the one in the coffee shop.
