Couple of things (Heidi, Wanda, Dee, John, Prydain)

[Rachel Bray]

First off, Happy Birthday, Heidi!  And Happy Anniversary, 
Wanda!  

John, I LOVED the "for everything else" signature line.  
Sorry, I may have to steal that.  My friends and I are 
trying to think of a T-shirt concept and I think that may 
be my contribution (If we end up using it, I'll send you a 
T-shirt).

Dee! So glad to hear you're OK.  I'm so sorry for the car 
accident.  You know, it's been almost two months since mine 
and I'm still quite gun-shy about cars pulling out in front 
of me and the such.  And yes, what a nice coincidence that 
your loan check has appeared just in time to go into your 
car.  I gave a check to a guy yesterday who looked at me 
and said "Just in time to put a new engine in my car."  :-( 
 So sorry its going to have to go to your car.  I really 
lucked out with mine.  The insurance company totalled it 
but since there was no damage to the frame or the engine, 
the doors were replaced and the rear wheel was fixed and 
the car looks like new again.  I feel sick for anyone who 
has engine damage/bent frame after an accident.  :-/

Well, all the Barnes and Noble(s) in my area are out of The 
Book of Three.  So I'll be getting mine this weekend when 
the one closest to me gets their new shipment.  They had 
all of them but the first book.  Hmmmm.....

The most heartbreaking thing about faithful moviegoing
is that awe, beauty and excitement, three of the things
we go to the movies for, are the very things we're 
cheated of the most. The great wonder of "The Lord of the
Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is that it bathes us 
in all three, to the point where we remember -- in a 
vague, pleasurably hallucinatory sensation from another 
lifetime -- why we go to the movies in the first place.
