What I wonder about is how the original British series ended (he didn't die...but there was a specific twist, if you will) and the dissapointment that an Amazon.co.uk reviewer felt and wrote about and if the American version will use the same ending/twist.I think it's silly to speculate on such things when the show is just beginning. If it takes off, it could run for YEARS (unlike British shows which often have a limited outlook). I'm going to enjoy it while I can and worry about its ending when there is an ending.

Does that mean that if we call and ask if they have Prince Albert in a can that Ben's voice is the one we'll hear?
I thought this was very moving:My dogs greeting me after returning from 14 months in Iraq
Prince Albert

Well...I need to start getting ready to head home for a few days. I probably won't head down to Virginia until Sunday, or even Monday at this point, but since I've more or less been a slug this past week, I do have a couple of things to take care of around the apartment before I make the trip South. Of course, the tidying and organizing I've been putting off shouldn't take all that long, but it's just a matter of doing it. Nike! In any case...My mom will be going in for mitral valve replacement on Tuesday. The "news" leaked a few weeks ago. However, since my parents were trying not to worry their sons, various messages and "status reports" got mixed up causing a bit of (unnecessary) shock. I stopped freaking out (almost) about the whole situation a week or so ago, but since I happen to have a break in my work schedule, I figured I might as well head down to Richmond while she's having the procedure.I had wanted to head down earlier this week, but it turns out that various family friends have been stopping by to visit my parents, and there has been no room at the Inn. My Dad even called me to ask me where I was planning on staying since all three bedrooms and the Aerobed were already spoken for. So, I may end up staying with Steve which actually works out fine since he happens to work for the same hospital system where my Mom is having the surgery, so he can take me in to visit when he heads to work. Getting hit with a cold - which seems to have passed - also delayed my trip down to Virginia earlier this week.Vibes and Prayers....
And Thank You for all the Vibes and Prayers for my Mom. I will be sure to pass them along to her once I get down to Richmond. They're also helping me with my unease in dealing with the unknown - and with what I know I can't really do anything about, what I can't "help". After checking bus schedules, I think I may head down tomorrow afternoon, since I have a feeling that the busses may be full on Sunday. We shall see... But, again...Thank You.

I miss Jack LaLanne's show every morning and the ubiquitous Hammond accompanying him as he demonstrated all the things you could do with a kitchen chair and broom handle. Life was so simple then!However, if you ever find out I bought one of those little jumpsuits he wore, please shoot me!
Today I took Edith to lunch and had to stop by the house for a minute afterwards. She met the cats for the first time. She always laughs at me for talking to them. Boo was looking at me. Boo hadn't made a sound since we got there. I said "Boo, say hello to Edith" Boo turned and looked at Edith and said "Meow". Edith jumped! She looked at me and said "I'll never tease you about talking to your cats again". Too funny
That made me cry, also makes me miss Echo something fierce. When we would return home from a trip I would sit on the lawn while Keith would get Echo. I had to sit to keep from getting knocked over, she would spin in circles, slamming into me each time. And then over & over she would shove her body into me while I attempted to hold her still.
