Hi Christine:
I've read two of the Lord John books. I liked them; they're definitely mysteries, which I don't typically like, but as always Diana Gabaldon's well crafted characters keep you coming back for more. When's her latest due for release?

Christine- I'm not expecting to drink and "tekillya" in the near future, but yesterday a friend and I started brewing a batch of India Pale Ale which should be ready by Xmas.
I just spent 7 hours today impersonating Santa Claus and am about to write a short article on my experience.
Happy HoliDAZE.

Christine. Thanks for the note. Have not seen Restoration but it is on my list (one of the few Meg movies I've missed); I discovered After Hours about 15 years ago; hadn't been released long, and fell in love with it (I had lived in Soho and know how real that kind of thing can be); It was total entertainment; I rarely see a movie more than once; have seen it at least 10 times. Nobody who has seen it, whom I know doesn't love it. Happy holidays.

Hi Christine! Thanks for the ping! I listened to some of Kelli's songs, and she has a beautiful voice. She reminds me very much of Cathy Ryan, who we have seen/heard several times at the North Dallas North Texas Irish Festival. I imagine you would like her style as well! Thanks, and have a very Happy Thanksgiving! ~ Nancy

LOL, I doubt it. It's an odd story. I emailed his website about five years ago to ask what "T.O.P." stood for regarding his acting training, because I was curious (no, not interested in acting). Well, the response came not from the webmaster but from Nick himself -- all of three words plus his initials: "tension, object, persona--nm". I thought it was cool but didn't respond (cuz, you know, why?).
Almost exactly two years later, I got another email from him -- *replying* to that one I'd sent before -- just saying "Hi Tracy -- greetings!". I was pretty confused because if he thought it was a new message, he didn't answer the question; and if he knew it was an old question, what made him send out that simple response then?
I DON'T KNOW! But I LOLed about it and of course saved them both. ;-)

I'm just a far-off but dedicated admirer of Nick, BUT BUT BUT I do have two emails from him, so that's like... not completely worthless, right?
I watch his movies from mid-80s/mid-90s and he can still make me swoooon....

There is no good answer to the "who is David Rochester?" question. But once you start reading his posts... your life will change....
