DR Doug I would like to see Kiev. I hope you are having a wonderful time.
I am not sure that it sounds correct to say, "Happy Memorial Day!"

Went to see "Bernie" today and it was great. Jack Black is inspired, and Shirley MacLaine is a riot. But the real stars are all these East Texas people who play folks from Carthage. I met a couple of them when I did my one day's work as an extra. They were charming in real life and just hysterically funny on the screen. This is a very Texas movie. I don't know how it'll play in the rest of the country. And, yes, I can be seen in the background quite clearly for a second or two in two scenes, including one in which I'm singing "Just As I Am" along with Jack Black.
