Now I know, Chef is out. Since I've never been interested in Sc-Fi or super heroes, Capt. America was never in.<br /><br />I do see lots of movies, but I see them at home...theaters priced me out a long time ago. As a Netflickee, I see no fewer than 4 flicks/week (except when I'm tired of it and take the week off, which is rare). Occasionally, I rent TV shows instead of movies. Frasier, Cheers, Mad About You, Wings...I am a fan of Major Dad and it is or was as of last month, still showing for free on Hulu. <br /><br />Lately, I'm on a Steve McQueen kick (again). Saw Tom Horn over the weekend and enjoyed it a lot. It piqued my interest in Horn and I discovered that there's a new book about him coming out next month. In the meantime, I'm reading Horn's autobiography (although if I didn't know better, I'd swear it was written by Huckleberry Finn!). Although he had a very limited education, he did have an ear for languages and quickly learned to speak 'Mexican' and 'Apache' not long after leaving his Missouri home at 15 (I think). He led a fascinating life, with a tragic end. Doc McCoynoreply@blogger.com
