Just added the movie list and wanted to comment on my choices. Some may suggest that there are too many chick flicks and not enough “manly” movies. But while I love James Bond, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Die Hard, We Were Soldiers, and a lot of other action or adventure films, few of them rise to the level of greatness that the better thought-out dramas do. I’ve seen a lot of “great” films that I would never own. Unfortunately, I also own several films that should be used as trade-ins at Blockbuster for better options. I also own other films that I will also revisit periodically, but won’t put on this list.

Who’ll Stop the Pain
(With apologies to CCR)
It’s already beginning. Stores had the Christmas stuff out long before the goblins came by for candy. At least then the songs were confined to the decorating section. But even before the turkey was cooked, they hit the airwaves.
I’ve always liked the Beatles, and Paul’s music is typically excellent (IMHO). But if I never hear “simply having a wonderful Christmas time” again, it will be too soon.
I really enjoy the Christmas season, but the sappy songs are going to drive me insane. (Did you say insane? I was insane once...)
