Hi there. Miss me?

I sort of fell off the grid for a bit.

Right now we are in Jacksonville visiting Shana. Today we are driving up to Atlanta to spend Christmas with my parents and brothers and sister.

We are taking out time getting to where we need to get. Considering the traffic and the like, it is the best way to go. We saw some lovely parts of Georgia having gone off the beaten path. There was one road of old growth trees with Spanish moss hanging in the trees that was breath taking. This got us around some serious traffic jams.

Caroline is having fun. Ariel is having fun. Peter and I are having fun. Which is nice.

In falling off the grid, I have very little idea what is going on in the fandom world right now. I do read the New York Times and various others world newspapers so I am up on the news. I like reading about how the world views things in the US.

I needed three tissues to get through Saving Mr. Banks. I have seen Harlan’s video and I know the real history. It doesn’t stop me from enjoying the film and the acting. I know that they were manipulating my emotions but I really didn’t mind. The acting was superb and that is the reason to see it. Large screen is not a necessity for this one. It is a rather intimate picture.

I am grateful for things that make my loved ones smile.

I do want to see Saving Mr Banks for the acting - in particular, to see Emma Thompson as PL Travers. I would love even more to see her playing PL Travers is a more realistic biopic. :-) Good to know big screen isn't necessary - I'll save it for a rental later.

Have fun with your peeps this Holiday Season!

Harlan's video?

I am a huge Mary Poppins fan, have been from childhood and am always interested in all things Poppins. But I didn't know that Harlan Ellison had a video about PL Travers. Can you tell me any more about it and where I could see it?
