I like the Giants (+3) (15 units.) Some late Pats money seems to be coming in.

    Here's my Super Bowl prediction: (5.00 / 3) (#3)

    Zorba will be frying four pounds of chicken wings.  ;-)

    Glad that predictions of the MVP (5.00 / 1) (#4)

    for Rodgers proved true.

    More important, as my football season ended weeks ago, we're having meatloaf.

    I ought to reread some LeCarre.  That's writing.

    For now, I'm waiting for my weekly Downton Abbey fix.  So nice to have melodramas back on the screen, where they belong, and not in my life . . . until the next one.

    Of course, the class warfare on the screen is nothin' next to what's in our lives now.

    And 'Luck' on HBO. Watched the first episode last week and got hooked.

    I've had a cold all weekend and have been really out of it. Mostly napping today. I hate to waste a weekend, but can't do much else.

    did not distract you from the Downton melodramas tonight!

    And that's nothin' compared to what's ahead.  I got a hint from a Brit friend, since they see the season ahead of us.

    Btw, have you seen the videos of just the Dowager/Maggie Smith's scenes?  She's so marvelous that I could watch her, and her alone, for an hour.

    such an interesting show....I really have no idea where it is going.

    So do you think that was the 'real' Patrick?

    I was too tired to watch 'Luck' after all...will watch it tonight!

    that was the real Patrick . . . but leaving it up in the air bodes for a reappearance, doesn't it?

    <cue swell of ominous background music>

    And perhaps just as Matthew's nether regions reappear, as it were, to cut him off again at the knees -- or other low joints?  What was that twinge he felt, and how far below the waist?

    people can't recognize someone they were close to, or rule them out, just because their face is disfigured.  I like to think I would recognize my brother or sister's body and voice as well as their face, but maybe I wouldn't. Who knows, I guess. That part seemed a little contrived to me.

    I forgive them though - here's to Matthew's tingling! I hope he get the 'nerve' to claim Mary from that awful marriage prospect!

    I'll llok for the Maggie Smith videos (5.00 / 1) (#48)

    She is so great. Just the right mix of dowager haughtiness and kindness.

    I also think Elizabeth McGovern's blue eyes should get an award of their own.
