Hey SunShadow!  NEWCASTLE is an Australian film.  From www.newcastlemovie.com:

"Newcastle, home to steel works, salt of the earth working-class families and surf...big, beautiful surf... Seventeen year old JESSE lives in the shadow of his older brother VICTOR and Victor's failure to become surfing's Next Big Thing. Even when Jesse's in his natural habitat of magnificent surf breaks, his blue-collar future is brought home by the coal barges that constantly line his horizon. Jesse has the natural skills to surf his way out of this reality and onto the international circuit - but can he overcome his equally natural ability to sabotage himself?  What is supposed to be a momentous weekend away with his mates results in the heat of first love and an unexpected, devastating tragedy. Jesse must now face the biggest wave of his life and find the courage to hold on and discover his dreams."

I will post a trailer when I get to a real computer.

I had several nice phone calls this weekend, but one I was particularily happy to get, Moremojo called! He is doing well, enjoying the early summer Texas humidity and looking to learn more about his relations, they are going to be having a reunion soon.

Mojoy stopps by ever so often, so if you want to leave hi a hello, I feel like he'll see it.

Hey, Scott. It is wildflower time here again and I think about you every time I pass a field of those yellow flowers. Good to hear from you.

I miss you.

So what if, after the lovemaking at the Siesta Motel, Jack and Ennis turned on the TV and watched the late movie on chanel 11. What if it were Bette Davis in Now, Voyager a tale about two people leading seperate and uneuqal lives, one with an overbearing parent.

What if 6 year old Annie Proulx went to the movies in 1942 with her grandmother, and saw Now, Voyager?

I can hear Ennis, once it was over say: "That was a long movie."

What a surprise.....having a read thru Tru's thread to find a few posts on Newcastle, Australia.

That is the city where I was born, and lived until I was 7yrs old. My mum and dad grew up there. My dad was a lifesaver on Newcastle beach for many years.

Newcastle is 100 miles north of Sydney, and is the 2nd largest city in the state of New South Wales. Here is a pic of Newcastle Beach, which is within walking distance of the main CBD area of Newcastle.

Remember my friend Weston who fell off the roof? He sent me an email yesterday telling me, among other things, that this is currently his favorite song:

PS I can not wait for the Mamma Mia film- saw an advert for it at the SATC screening - looks good

I wanted to see the stage production of Mamma Mia, but the movie will do just fine.

Here is someone else I got curious about today from a file in my tangential mind: Cordell Jackson. She appeared in a Bud Light commercial with Brian Setzer in 1991. I looked her up and unfortunatly she passed away in 2004.
