I will check out the Ben Kingsley film as I think he is a great actor. Thanks to all for stopping by, I should have some time and new material on Wednesday. Plenty of action out there with MER selling its soul for capital. Have a great holiday.EconomicDisconnecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802078645713106743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-15785336873794639322007-12-24T14:23:00.000-05:002007-12-24T14:23:00.000-05:00First up, in my part of the country the moon was s...First up, in my part of the country the moon was simply HUGE when it appeared last evening, can`t remember it ever looking that big. I showed my daughter and she just about flipped out too.<BR/>If I could add a movie or two that I think is worth watching, the first would be "Sexy Beast" with Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley, and the second would be "Lost in Translation" directed by Sofia Coppola (yeah I know it`s a chick flick, but it`s good).<BR/>Plus I have to throw in one of the greatest spaggetti westerns of all time..."Once Upon a Time in the West" by Sergio Leone , I`ve seen where critics have panned this movie, but I think they are full of it.<BR/>Take careAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-4620741950441935892007-12-23T12:16:00.000-05:002007-12-23T12:16:00.000-05:00LOVE YOUR BLOG.

One of the things that our family did this year was fore go the gift giving and donated to local charities instead. I have all the crap I need and my wife is a volunteer at the local thrift store which is non profit with the proceeds going to the extended care facility in our town. She hauls enough junk home as it is. The only charities I recommend are local organizations as at least in that case you can see if the money is going to the cause or being squandered. Red Cross, United Way and a lot of the other groups eat up to much of what is donated in advertising and administrative fees for my taste. Never donate to a solicited phone calls as most of these are scams.<BR/><BR/>KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
