It scares me and frustrates me. But, it sure was fun watching that movie on tv with you when we were little!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12730936.post-39471564800392527672009-06-18T14:03:59.419-04:002009-06-18T14:03:59.419-04:00My thoughts exactly, Will Smith is yummy!

He's in The Day the Earth Stood Still (take 2), which I haven't watched because the original is my alltime favorite movie and I'm highly irritated that it was remade. That old movie shaped my life, it seems. Saw it on tv at age 10, and it started my lifelong love affair with good sci fi.ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670685934653870752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12730936.post-2924699088700277232009-06-18T13:22:17.569-04:002009-06-18T13:22:17.569-04:00I think you will love the movie.

Our Key Club raises $5000-$10,000 a year for charities, local and global. A few years ago they raises thousands for an alumnus whose infant daughter had leukemia. Next year they're going to concentrate on raising money for one of our teachers; her 21 year old son was paralyzed in a car accident in January. She's adapting her home for easy access for him.<br /><br />I promise that I'll have lots of frothy cold drinks and think of you. I don't have to told more than once! I miss the beach, too; most Keys beaches don't have "real" sand because of the coral reef offshore, but one a few miles from the condo is the only real sand beach in the Keys. I plan to get to know that one intimately!ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670685934653870752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12730936.post-49389447064269914302009-06-16T11:40:55.874-04:002009-06-16T11:40:55.874-04:00I feel for your friend and it is fgood of everyone...I feel for your friend and it is fgood of everyone to work together to help her.<br />I hope you have a great time this summer. I want you to drink at least one frothy icy drink for me and to get one sunburn for me. I really miss the beach :-)Georgihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019991448147686889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12730936.post-54704540188588500582009-06-16T08:50:37.736-04:002009-06-16T08:50:37.736-04:00I'm kind of surprised that I didn't read I...I'm kind of surprised that I didn't read I Am Legend many years ago. I've always loved that kind of story. I've been scaring myself since I started reading scifi and horror at 14. I actually had to quit reading it for about 10 years because it was giving me such awful nightmares (can't imagine why...)<br /><br />One of my all-time favorite books is Lucifer's Hammer, about a huge asteroid striking earth and destroying civilization as we know it. Absolutely horrifying, and absolutely riviting.<br /><br />I have to stop letting things annoy me; so a book was written 50-100 years ago, so what if they used things like the original tv dinners, or old cars with chokes, because the books themselves are so good.<br /><br />We're lucky that friends offered us the use of their condo for the summer, otherwise we'd go for a week or two and that would be it. This is something to really treasure.ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670685934653870752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12730936.post-9085567377629397422009-06-15T21:03:48.735-04:002009-06-15T21:03:48.735-04:00I just finished reading I am Legend too!

The record player did bother me, as I have one in my living room now. of course i use it to listen to The Who, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, not that classical stuff :)<br /><br />your vacation plans sound fantastic. Wish i could do something like that.Trillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02276707222970736864noreply@blogger.com
