Randy. Captain Randy

. . . and that's when it started getting weird.

Hmmm? What? Oh, there you are!

Sorry. Got distracted for a moment. Or a couple of months. Insert appropriately chagrined smiley face here.


First, thanks to Hedwig for prodding me back. No promises that I'll keep it up.

Next, I'll catch you all up on the gap at a later time. Perhaps.

Oh, and before I go, I'll pass on that the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale is terrific.

It's refreshing. It is a reboot, but a solid one. The villain is appropriately evil, but over a matter of a 110 million dollars, not world domination. Bond is amazingly tough, but not indestructible. And there are few gadgets and none of them difficult to say, "sure, he could have one of those."

I liked it a lot.

My favorites of the series are, in ranked order:

Goldfinger
Casino Royale (the new one, not the Woody Allen mess)
Dr. No
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Live and Let Die
