p.s. Tonight I found myself taping another copy of Angel - which by the way
, I believe to be the very best of American serie - over another HL tapes
of mine; Space has been airing HL forever, complete canado-minutes
included, no cuts whatsoever and I realised I have made way too many copies
of this serie which I never watched so I am reusing those tapes for other
things. Is this happening to other people as well ?

I must live in the wrong part of the world (SW Florida) - I've never seen anyone wearing any
Highlander gear.
Even sadder - when I wear my HIGHLA-L "Watchers" t-shirt not even people who claim to
be Highlander fans recognize the symbol. :-[

Ha, I just found mine too. It's now on the shelf with my PWFC football
(soccer) jersey.

Well, she is the Colonel General. :)
My collection, besides the ones already mentioned, include:
the black PWFC polo
Gathering 3 shirt
Methos shirt by those folks who did the card game
the Richie shirt from the card game
the free shirts that came with seasons 1-4, not all of which I can
remember off-hand
My Joe's hat is still on the wall, along with my very faded PWFC hat (I
wore it on all the field trips when I worked at day camp) and my MFWC hat.
And my 100th ep HL mugs and wine glasses that comet keeps trying to steal
when she comes over my house...

I've been running around in circles waving my hands in the air in
panic lately, getting stuff together and evaluating my projected
retirement funds (or lack thereof). I'm realizing, though, that
money isn't the only thing I'm storing up for my declining years.
For me, nostalgia isn't living in the past; it's digging into a
treasure box that I'm filling up, that is part of what sustains me
now and will in the future. I take memories out sometimes and look
at them and remember that there is a life apart from work and
serious life issues, filled with brilliant, funny, eloquent,
cantankerous people with sharp teeth or long flagpoles or
unbelievably detailed and organized archival brains, or even whips
:-> . It's an incredible source of warmth and comfort. I'm saving
up for my future in more ways than one, and the treasure box is
performing a *heck* of a lot better than my 401K! <g>
:::: running around tidying up pool area; filling empty bottles
with Listerine (hey, it's amber liquid) and stuffing them onto
shelf hoping she won't notice; piling pool toys and drunken ferrets
into closet; piling prone unconscious bodies on wheelbarrow and
dumping them over fence, tossing discarded white gloves and organdy
hats after them (they're on their own with the grass stains);
herding cows out of garden and coaxing horses out of the pool...

I'm sorry. Did Mme. Weezul just wax nostalgic? And say nice things about us?
Okay.

Ditto!
Any list that is fully of sugary sap, everybody agreeing with each other,
no differing opinions, no misunderstandings, etc. is not a list that I'd
care to spend any time on. You can't learn anything if you're not exposed
to other opinions. You can't have a discussion if everybody agrees on
everything. What kind of fun is that?
How boring. No life, no character, no fun.

This could be a good excuse for a party. It's not every day you induct a bunch of folks into honorary Geezerdom.

Hey, that's two good excuses for a party in one day.

Last year, someone who works at the church where I sing, showed up
wearing a Watcher pendant. He was thrilled when I knew what it was -
said he'd never met anyone else who watched HL. He was a little
embarrassed and didn't want to be "outed" as a fan, so if people
asked about it, he told them it was a Celtic cross. :-)
