The wind is wild today. I can hear the big gusts roaring down the road behind me, building in intensity, until with one great "Swoosh" the trees around the house bounce and bend and it is passed.

Good day to fly kites. :)

Driving wasn't too hazardous, but the parking lots in the capital were grit-born tornados. March winds blow!!!

Frontline is airing a two part special "Bush's war" beginning Monday at 9 EST. Sounds like it might be interesting.

I am glad it doesn't start at eight-my new favorite show has finally recovered from the writer's strike-at least last Monday was a new episode. "Big Bang Theory" http://www.cbs.com/primetime/big_bang_theory/

airs Monday night on CBS from 8-8:30. If you don't have a TV, and have a good computer connection, the above link also has past episodes-the miracles of modern techonolgy! (Commercials and all, I believe)

Every episode of this show has cracked me up. The re-runs were still funny the second time around.

The storyline is focused on two guy geeks(physicists) late twenty's early thirties, who share an apartment. Sheldon, played by Jim Parsons, tall skinny, and comically obsessive-compulsive; and Leonard, played by Johnny Galecki, short, dark- haired, glasses-wearing with a somewhat more rational view on life, although even more geeky than Sheldon if at all possible.

They have a couple of guy friends that visit, Raj, Rajeesh Koothraplai,played byKunal Nayyar, an Indian-accented guy that has difficulty talking to women, and Howard Wolowitz, played bySimon Helberg, , a greasy-haired mod who tries to drool geeky charm and brag of his sexual prowess (not).

Their neighbor is Penny, played by Kaley Cuoaco, a blond (supposed) Bimbo that managed to kick Sheldon's butt on a video game and comes off with great one liners to cover her scientific ignorance.

I was worried the writer's strike would slow down the momentum of the group, and I think it did a little bit, but the show was still pretty funny on Monday. I am hoping they keep building momentum, and hope these new faces have bright acting futures ahead of them!!!
