Amazon strikes again: three orders in two cartons delivered 45 minutes ago and I cannot find them since the floor they are sitting on is not in my building.



NOOOOOO!!!!! >:(

Nice detective work, BK and Chas!  So glad it was the same person.

Agreed!  That is so cool!

TOD: It's got to be Patton for me. I really should re-watch it now that I've learned so much more about my Dad's service in World War II. I knew he was in Patton's army but now I've found where his battalion was each day of their service.

That's great, MichaelG!

American Queen Voyages, the paddle-wheeler cruise company sailing ships up and down the Columbia River, has suspended service and canceled its cruises.

Oh, no!  Did they say why? :-\

Have you seen it before? One of my 3rd cousin's parents met on that production. Please let us know what you think!

This is maybe my third or fourth time watching it. I first saw it as a kid and loved it, because the concept blew my 10-year-old mind. I didn't care as much for it the last time I saw it. But I loved the first half hour tonight.

MichaelG, I have been watching a lot of Hitchcock lately, including his silents, his war-effort movies, his screwball comedy, his musical. Anything I can get my hands on.

His musical? Somehow I've missed that or I'm blanking on it. I'd like to know more tomorrow, please.

I've only seen I Confess once, maybe a year or two ago. I liked it, but not as much as some of his better-known movies.

I only ate half of it at the restaurant, and brought the other half with me.
