>Wish JB would release a second CD - or has he and I missed it?
Two vinyl albums, now transposed onto one CD "Burning/Turned
my Nights into Days".
One CD album "That River"
One limited edition CD "Love is a Gamble". (200 copies pressed,
all individually numbered and signed - mine is #7 <g>). I hear that
he's going into the studio to redo this one for general release.

It keeps happening. Even after all this time, it's still possible to
have a "YKYBWHLTMW" moment. A few weeks back, we were watching some
SG-1 reruns (love that TiVo) and had one. It was set on a strange
planet that was very, very yellow, with aliens that were living cobalt
blue crystals stuck in the bright yellow "dunes." <br>
<br>
Yep, it was the sulphur mine from "Band of Brothers," where Duncan
fought Grayson (and that was in the opening credits). It's often
possible to spot old Highlander locations if SG-1 happens to film
somewhere in urban Vancouver, rather in some generic place meant to
represent yet another tree-filled planet. <br>
<br>
Then last night, I was watching my current obsession, er, favorite TV
show, "The Amazing Race." They went to Le Mans, France, where there is
a 24 hour racetrack, and there was a very familiar "Dunlop" sign
forming an archway over the track. I think it was the place Richie died
in front of an inconveniently large number of witnesses, when he was
with Saracen Racing. <br>

Has anyone been watching "The Real World-Paris" this season? I have been
trying to see familiar sites (besides the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame), but
they tend to show "scenery" too fast, and they haven't ventured out much (at
least on film) except to bars.
Also, semi-related, flipping the channels today and stopped on MTV just to
see what "Taildaters" was all about, and one initial meeting took place in
the lobby of the Westin Hotel where Reunion con was held! (This was cool to
see, just like going to try out for Jeopardy in D.C., which were held at the
Omni Shoreham, where Legacy con was).
