OT: ABout to work out. :mrgreen:
Friday afternoon: Co-workers are getting scarce.
Well I was just thinking as I sat here reading these posts. I do that you know.
Does anyone remember CRISWELL ?
He had a show called CRISWELL PREDICTS. He was a little pompous and looked rather like an older Liberace. Used to predict on the Jack Paar and the Johnny Carson shows.
Always remember him saying that the time would come when people would sit at home in front of a machine and talk to one another around the world and never travel again.
He was wrong wasn't he?? We travel all over the world all the time sitting in front of a machine.......

Ain't nuthin' like the real thing...buying a ticket and going there yourself, though. :)
T_triky,
You are quite right....... My travelling days are over so the internet is my highway to the world now.

I love the internet so you have no complaints from me. :) It is as you allude, "a window to the world."

Well I must admit, being a literal person, ;) that I like to travel with my laptop. Nothing like watching drama on a long plane ride. :victory:
And when Im stuck on the farm because the horses like it that way I get to sofa travel.
Like checking into the weather thread. :hehe:
Though actually that tells more about peoples personal weather preferences than anything else. :hehe:
OT: Watching extreme freestyle skiing while posting.
@Tu-Love the piggy phones. :mrgreen:
Well I never would have known anything about Oda Nobunaga without my journeys along the internet. Also all about the Tokugawa ruling days.
It's a fascinating world that I didn't learn about in my youth..... :grumble:
I'm opening my mind to all sorts of people and places.. which stretches my own inside computer these days. :dancing:

Funny stuff, beastmaster. :)
Been on a movie kick at home lately (the HDTV has something to do with it :beaten: )... Just finished The Terminal starring Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
And I watched Lethal Weapon - Director's Cut starring Mel and Danny earlier. :victory:

You need to watch Toshiie TO Matsu . If you dant have a copy available I can send you one. Aoi Tokugawa was great too but Toshiie was a 51 ep joy. :woot:
Getting ready to go to a funeral. :sweat:

Another good friend of mine is as well. His aunt passed away. May you and your family find peace in the coming months.

Hope things smooth out for your family, Beem. :hug:

Re Toshie to Matsu. Yes saw that one. The one I really loved was Hojo Tokemune. That was very special for me.. I particularly liked Watabe Atsuro. The 'Divine wind' drove all the Khan's ships away at the crucial time. True story. Lots more of course.

Just got back... I was asked to be a pallbearer.
Just finished watching Payback starring Mel Gibson.
Guess I'm on a Mel kick after watching Edge of Darkness yesterday. :mrgreen:

That's an honor. If a sad one.
On topic: Im sick again so spending the day inside hooking up my EyeTV system and new computer equipment with the little energy I have.
I am so ready for the Spring. :grumble:
