SPECIAL NOTE:
In respect for (US) Memorial Day tomorrow, no updates will be made to this site.

While my fellow countrymen and women enjoy this long holiday, I hope my fellow countrymen (or most likely countrywomen who visit this site) will take a few moments to reflect on why we have this 3-day weekend.

May God Bless those fallen heroes, past and present, who have given their all so that we, here in the US and our Allied members, can enjoy our freedom. Please remember, Freedom is NOT Free.

And on this Memorial Day I include my most beloved father who fought in WWII (please visit his Official U.S. WWII Honoree site) and who passed away in November 2003. My Dad's personal website is temporarily housed here. 

"Daddy, I love you and miss you terribly, but I know I will see you again - of that I have no doubt."
- All My Love, Sylvia - I thank God for your being my DAD!

If there are others out there who would like to share or honor your family members this Memorial Day -  I would like to hear from you.

God Bless our troops.  No politics entertained - just Bless Our Troops!

Remember this article about the British gal who won the pants Dougray wore in M:I-2?  Well, it looks like she's auctioning them off on eBay (click here for the auction.)  I'm awaiting verification that this is in fact the same pair of pants, but for now - there it is, and buyer beware.

According to the Daily Record (UK), Dougray is set to star as Moses in a new Hallmark 4 hour mini-series, "The Ten Commandments". The two-part epic, which will rely on extensive biblical and historical research to present the story of "Exodus" and an authentic portrayal of 13th century B.C. Egypt, will be executive-produced by Robert Halmi, Sr.

"Our portrayal of the story of Moses and the Ten Commandments is meant to be a dramatic, inspirational interpretation," said Halmi. "I strongly feel that this biblical tale should be revisited for the younger generation, as they must realize the importance and consequences of the Ten Commandments." In addition to depicting the emotional power of the story, the miniseries will use today's technology to recreate the spectacle of biblical miracles in amazing Halmi-style.

Omar Sharif is reported to play the role of Moses's father-in-law, Jethro. The mini-series is set to air on ABC-TV.  Date to be announced.

Stay tuned for more website updates this weekend!
