Hey man.How is life in Seatlle?How did you like the new remastered version of 2001?It was like a veil was taken off the previous version.Love it.

Hope you are well my friend,and hope you will have a great christmas

So you took a road trip.Good for you.Bought that 60th edition myself last year,but found it had nothing really new to.my three part hardbacks with pictures by Howe,so gave it as a christmas present to a friend.

Try out Nick Caves Boatmans call on vinyl if you haven't allready.Sounds glorious.

Tata for now old chap

Did you finish theat 20000 leagues under the sea?did you like it?if so,I think you'll like A journey through the solar system too.I wouldn't recommend that movie Suburra.Saw it yesterday and it was a straight to video deal TBH.Have gotten the Crying game and the Englishman who went up a hill and came down a mountain on spanish BD editions.Thankfully it has the english audio option Thats what I'll be doing when the weather turns as nasty as smaugs dreams.Couldn't resist.

Hope all's well in the rainy city,or is that the windy city...Oh well.Take care.How's that new screen you've got?

Weather has been great and we have spent a lot of time visiting family, so it has been a great summer. I am currently reading 20000 Leagues Under the Sea and am waiting until September 23 to start LotR, having finished The Hobbit earlier. I started the year by reading Silmarillion, although I skip that during some years. Another very interesting book I have just read is Beyond Biocentrism, by the stem cell researcher Robert Lanza. He suggests that consciousness is the basis of the universe. I hope that as Galadriel once said, that "you are using well the days".

Hope the holidays are treating you well.Heard rumours of an unusual good weathdr spell earlier this month.

I am abit torn between just reading hobbit and lotr and starting off with the silmarillion on my middle earth project Did you start with the silmarilion (abit hard to get into),or did you just go for the hobbit and lotr?

Enjoy the summer

Just finished re-reading 20000 leagues under the sea.You'll love it as you will other Jules Verne books.Litterature for all ages

Hi.Thought about starting it today too,but am currently reading a social satire set in the same universe of Wind in the willows where it tells the story of the stoats,ferrets and weasels who gets a raw deal by those living at the river side.I'll getround to them when my holliday comes around in august.I never get tired of the Hobbit.Long time since I've read LotR so will take the middle earth route then.Maybe I'll even finish the Silmarillion then too.Who knows

Thanks for the heads up on april 22.I'll start then too,and work my way through LotR too since it's a few years I visited that book.

The curtains work fine-for me and the neighbours too Give Oscar Petersons 'Exclusively for my friends' a chance.Been released on vinyl and cd.Glorious jazz.I love it

Take care man.
