I just can't remember the name of that show for the life of me.

I had hoped to stalk you when I was last in London. Stalking Al Weiss and Phil Holmes just isn't fun anymore! ;-) <<Sure did - incredible endurance by both the giant American (how can someone 6'9" play tennis?!?!) Isner and Mahut. Just felt so sorry to see John capitulate so quickly in his next match.>> I knew Isner would fall and in straight sets. You just can't have a three-day match like that and have anything left in the tank at all. No matter what happens from here on out, people will remember Wimbledon this year because of that match!

I do recall my last L1011 flight. LAX to ATL in 1998 (after a DL visit). I thought the plane was going to fall apart and actually thought of getting off ... but it turned into a very smooth and comfortable trip. I recall driving by the Mojave about five years ago and seeing dozens of them, just parked ... rotting ... waiting to be scrapped. Surreal.

But there is a warning, I am one of the few people who also like the Black Cauldron, Atlantis and Treasure Planet (as well as Brother Bear)

Cauldron and Stitch, I think, are the only two Disney movies I dislike. Oh, and the Jungle Book. Heresy, I know. Never been able to get into it.

They don't look like my type of 'thing' ... but after seeing five of the Potter films, I'm tempted to pick up a book when I actually can get out of the quick sand I am in and have time to read! <<But there is a warning, I am one of the few people who also like the Black Cauldron, Atlantis and Treasure Planet (as well as Brother Bear)>> Saw Black Cauldron once when it was in theaters in 1985. Can't say it was memorable, except for the fact I was on a date. Watched 10 minutes of it on my DCL cruise recently ... and it didn't keep my attention at all. Never saw Atlantis, which I wanted to, or Treasure Planet, which I didn't because by then I didn't think Disney could do anything right! I did enjoy Brother Bear a fair amount, but wouldn't call it a classic or anything close.
