Recently: The Limey, Scarface, Manhunter (an old, crappy Michael Mann movie about the Hanibal Lecter saga), and the first six episodes of The Sopranos second season (had to have it: grabbed the boxed set).

Vicki visited this weekend. We had a great time and took a trip to Eureka Springs. Lots of food and drink(ing).

My brother-in-law is getting married next weekend. I bought some new clothes for the event (I’m not in the wedding, per se, but I am running sound for it). It was fun to spend a little cash after being frugal for quite a long while (in everything except dining out: my greatest weakness). I also [...]
