Last night a friend called out of the blue and I ran to go meet her for a half hour – hours later we were sitting and discussing life and she kept asking me all of these personal questions that I didn’t have a hands down answer for – she said, why not? – what’s the matter? are you afraid of committing to any of these ideas? – and I said, moi? a commitment-phobe? never…
Sigh – when is this coming to New Orleans???? FILM REVIEW, By Joe Morgenstern No Country for Old Men’ reviewed by the WSJ The villain in “No Country for Old Men,” a psychopath named Chigurh who is played to demonic perfection by Javier Bardem, uses a coin toss to decide a potential victim’s fate.

Nov. 8, 2007 – from WSJ update: Marking the first time Congress has refused to sustain one of President Bush’s vetoes, the Senate joined the House in overriding his rejection of a popular water resources bill authorizing billions of dollars in flood control, coastal restoration and transportation projects around the nation.

Wine pairing with delicious tapas tonight and the girls were all in rare form – talking about what makes them high and what makes them low – and you know what? It’s universal.
