I saw that on TV recently. I think several bears make regular visits. Btw, kudos to your father for his service. I visited my FIL Saturday in the nursing home. He was in the D-Day+1 landing force. He has wanted to do the honor flight trip to DC. I'm afraid that won't happen but he just got a walker and is moving around pretty well.

Queen Mother 'enjoyed listening to Caribbean steel bands and Paul Simon' As the nation?s favourite grandmother, it might be expected that Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother?s musical tastes would have been rather old-fashioned. [...] Another was Thank U Very Much, a 1967 hit by Liverpool band The Scaffold. However, she apparently she misheard the lyric ?Thank you very much for our gracious team?, believing it ended ?Our gracious Queen?.

Film Director SIDNEY LUMET dies...he was the quintessential NEW YORK film director....he really captured the New York vibe without reservation...he let it all hang out so to speak. As kids, my friends and I were right there for the making of the great film DOG DAY AFTERNOON...being filmed right across the street from Prospect Park in Bklyn..our childhood playground. It was such a thrill to see this being made and the great PACINO in action..no bones about it!

I happened to turn onto the Dr. Drew (Psychologist) show last evening, and was quite taken with his film director guest, (Tom Shadyac), who was speaking about his new Documentary film ( I AM) and the apparent epiphany he experienced whilst recoving from a cycling accident, and its' ramifications in his life. I could feel myself so relating to his words and his concept of true happiness or contentment being derived from our fundamental connectedness to one another ...the fact that yes, we are in fact our brother's keeper. The catalyist for him is when he became disallusioned when he bought his 3rd new mansion in Beverly Hills and realized he wasn't any happier after acquiring it. He then decided to change his life, selling most of his properties and giving away millions of dollars. I've always enjoyed his films (being a comedy buff and a Jim Carrey fan...BRUCE ALMIGHTY, THE NUTTY PROFESSOR, etc, etc., so I already knew we were on the same page so to speak. Anyway, I'm anxious to see this film...the message seems so simple, yet so profound and perhaps a eye-opener to many, and certainly ripe for the taking! Take a look...
