"L" is lachrymosity

It was with lachrymosity that Ennis read the word "deceased" on the postcard promising a next meeting on November 7 at Pine Creek.

'Brokeback Mountain' is every bit as good as you've wished, while 'Narnia' is more engaging than you might expect.

"O" is overthrown

After Ennis divorced in November of 1976, Jack was crestfallen to find that all his hopes of a revival of the sweet life idea were overthrown.

Ennis's father polluted his young mind when he marched him and his brother down to see Earl's body.

In May of 1983 they spent a few cold days at a series of little icebound, no name high lakes, then worked across into the Hail Strew River drainage.

"T" is tweaking

Lying in bed in the Siesta Motel, Jack filled Ennis in on what had happened in his life between August of '63 and September of '67, tweaking the story to avoid telling him the real reason he didn't go back to work for Joe Aguirre.

"U" is Universal's

On March 23, 2006, Randy Quaid filed a lawsuit for $10 million plus punitive damages against Focus Features (Universal's indy unit), Del Mar Productions, James Schamus and David Linde, alleging that they had intentionally and negligently misrepresented Brokeback Mountain as being, "a low-budget, art house film with no prospect of making any money" in order to secure his professional acting services at a considerably lower rate than his typical fee.  Quaid subsequently dropped the suit.

During the last fishing trip in May, conversation turned from Don Wroe to weightier topics.

I'll be away for a few days, likely becoming a little weightier myself.  :)
