First, Mr. Henderson has, for as long as I've known him, said that It's a Wonderful Life is the most depressing movie he's ever seen. And this article here explains his reasons to a T: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/19/movies/19wond.html?pagewanted=1&8dpc&_r=1 And over at SwampLand, Joe Klein's surprising commentary on the disappointing Pastor Warren pick has kicked off quite the conversation in the comments section: http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2008/12/18/the-not-so-right-reverend-rick/ Two links I find interesting.

Actually all my digs were in Virginia. Lots of fun in some of the more rural areas out there, but also very discouraging; we were usually the last people through the area before developers came in. The most poignant one for me was finding an old family graveyard, and realizing that while all the family were buried in the "Christian" fashion, east to west, with markers, all the slaves were buried the opposite direction, with no marker to tell us who they were. The only reason we knew there were graves was because of the tell-tale "depression". I miss it anyway. I'd rather do digs in England, though! And yes, my sister is obsessed with the Princess Bride (we all kind of are) - but she was the one who wore out our brother's VHS copy of it. Kids are brined in the holiday madness, I think. I'm a little distressed, because our older son hit his paraprofessional two days ago. He's never done anything of the sort before, but he hits a high of frustration around this time of year, so all we can do is make sure he doesn't do it again! Ha!

We went on a dinosaur dig a few years ago, and all the diggers were missing fingers. I really want to do a dig in Mongolia... next 5 years or so. Hope the kids and the house aren't so crazy today. Checked out your sister's link. She and I both love the movie, Princess Bride, I see. I can see why you have the fascination.

"Middle class families kept bodies until putrefication clearly set in; no self-respecting Resurrectionist wanted such spoiled goods. Eventually, European and American legislators came to their senses, relaxing laws governing the dissection of cadavers." Taken out of context, it sounds quite gruesome. I just have a fascination with the forensics side of archaeology, and my library reflects it. The only bookworms I really know and love don't have blogs, but my sister has a deviantart page: Ruth Bushnell, http://willowambereyes.deviantart.com/ my mother Kathryn my cousin Lindsay her sister Rochelle my neighbor Kristen I should add that my kids are driving me crazy right now. My younger son is arguing that the word in the song is "Cradle, cradle, cradle, I made it out of clay..." and I can't convince him otherwise. The two boys also managed to tip the Christmas tree over last night, while I was doing laundry downstairs. Only my ornaments managed to get broken, and I briefly contemplated putting everything away and having a Festivus pole instead. Or maybe just celebrate Saturnalia. I hate stressing out about the holidays! Oh, and my favorite cousins are abandoning us this year for a trip to Mexico. I can't even begin to describe how much I'd like to run away with them.
