I don’t think I had ever seen the original title before. It translates as Nothing New on the Western Front. A little uglier, a little more cynical.

For years I could not eat popcorn very often, and certainly not at night.

Now when I say Keith is popping corn I can't express how much I appreciate the fact I no longer have to watch him eat it with sad eyes.

We haven't watched it yet, not sure I want to.

One of my fellow ringers fell this week and broke her jaw. Her surgery is scheduled for the same time as the service.

First of all, the complete opera is on YouTube - just audio. But the person who uploaded it also includes a link to the complete video - I started watching and it looks great but it's wildly out of sync and that's just not the way to watch anything. So, I'm trying to download the video via Clip Grab but it's just not working - taking over two hours with no  progress in sight. I'm going to try another way and see if that works. If I can get it on the computer then I can give it to Marshall and he can fix the sync and give it back to me.

There have been a lot of interesting write-ups about Champion.

When I was a kid, my parents would always say, "Excuse my French" after uttering a swear word.

The news is reporting that a debt deal agreement has been struck. But will it get through Congress?
