1. this upcoming trip is getting better and better. looks like deb will be coming out for a long-weekend of skiing during the utah portion, and will be staying with me at my cute cousin's place. seriously, so many of my favorite people in one place, i almost can't stand it!
2. anne and i went to see amazing grace last night. there haven't been many television promos, as far as i can tell, but i've seen enough movies lately that the trailer peaked my interest. i am happy to report that i really really enjoyed it. i've seen crappy movies (because i said so) and mediocre movies (breach) lately, so it was a nice treat. it is the story of william wilberforce and his successful effort to abolish slavery in england in the early 1800's. maybe i'm just a sucker for a feel good story, or a british accent, but it was a well spent $9.75. in fact, i probably would have paid that just to listen to the bagpipe version of the song that played just before the credits.
my only irritation is not having known the story prior to my london trip. knowing he was buried in westminster abbey would have made the organ recital there just that much more meaningful...
