Heather, super interesting from first word to last. I am addicted to my phone. I've never seen a spotless giraffe. I want to make French onion soup and the Braille story was fascinating. Really good reporting on so many topics.
So many interesting things today, Heather! The Pope's Exorcist is not the kind of film I watch - too much gore, etc. BUT Russell Crowe! An amazing performance. His Italian was beautiful, and his Italian-accented English even better. I am very sensitive to language and I was amazed. For a completely different side of Crowe, I recommend A Good Year (2006) -delightfully playful and romantic, and also Mystery, Alaska (1999) feel-good small town adventure that I have watched several times. Great post today! I appreciate all the work that goes into these Friday spectaculars.
You likely have a wonderful sense of Italian so I appreciate your thoughts on Crowe. I have always enjoyed his acting - thank you for the recommendations. I'm looking forward to taking a look at them!
I feel so old all of a sudden! I still use LOL and while I knew some of the above acronyms, I had no idea what many of them meant. Thanks for bridging the gap.

Thanks, Jill. The world is a fun place to explore!
I guess, LOL is out of date. What is the best replacement - IJBOL or something else? Just wondering!
I figure I'm kinda out of date, too, so I'm just going to stick with LOL.
To me IJBOL is too long to be a good acronym!

Happy Weekend, Sharron.
