Waiting for the storm...

NWS is expecting a bit of the storm that's soaking Northern California to hit us shortly. Today through Monday, is probable. So I Pray the Crom will bless us with a decent blanket of the white stuff, so that I might break out the new skis and get some righteous turns. Not to say that I don't enjoy my old "Bro-nated" rock skis, but I'm ready to slash some pow.

Ah, the life of the "responsible" ski-bum...

Bond XXIII ?!


OK, Skyfall did not suck.  Damn fine film.  Excellent direction, excellent acting, great design.  

One bone to pick:  lose the three lights on the back of Bond's new PPK/S...  Also have him carry one of the new Walther PPQ's.  Better caliber, more magazine capacity, still quite concelable.  

Excellent points:  Bond reloads the PPK/S!  

Thank you Mr. Mendes for not having that damn "shaky camera / cinema verite" shite...  that is a tired device.  

James Bond (along with the Star Trek movies) should become a vehicle for directors and guest actors.  

See it.  I'm buying the Blu-Ray the day it bows.  Good stuff.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Spending time with those closest, cooking, skiing, eating...

Thanking my lucky stars that my life has turned out the way it has.

Thanks!

100% chance of more postings

I may get to that magic number of 5 posts per week at this rate.

Turkey is being brined. The majority of provisions for the annual dinosaur feast have been procured.

Timing cooking turkey around skiing may prove to be challenging, but I am up to it I hope. G-d in heaven, I love my life.
