Jim, as far as HBO goes, it's a pretty good one - decent historical accuracy, fabulous actors and solid production values. Oh - and no ads. ;)<BR/><BR/>I've never been a history buff, although the hub is, but I find McCullough's books and this miniseries to be fascinating. Even the teen boy squad is watching it with us, by choice. <BR/><BR/>Jim, the great thing about iron is that given sufficient heat it's malleable. (see: wrought iron, blacksmithing) So, your will can be iron at the same time as it's flexible. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-15030942500650437372008-04-09T15:22:00.000-05:002008-04-09T15:22:00.000-05:00Hey no fair!

It's part of my "Make Fucking Sure George the Decider Can't Recall Me" Plan.<BR/><BR/>Vince, happy to oblige. <I>Dreaming of you</I> is one those songs your listeners will be sure to like. Tell them it's from me :)<BR/><BR/>Nathan, well, yes. I really wanted to participate in your project, but I just don't have the freakin' time. I am following it though.<BR/><BR/><I>John Adams</I> I'll watch when it comes out on DVD. I detest HBO, but every once in a while they make a truly great flick - <I>Rough Riders</I> comes to mind, thoroughly excellent and Tom Berenger's best ever role, ever. Seriously ever. If you, like I, think Teddy Roosevelt was a true hero, especially at San Juan Hill, you really need to watch this movie. I have the HD version, hell the music alone is worth the watch.<BR/><BR/>Back to work.
