I had a few boooks way back on NCSY summer Kollel. I had much fun w/Reuven Weiser with the game where you read words together that become a different phrase. Dusk Harlot Ladder = The Scarelett Letter Radar Softer Law Stark = Raiders of the Lost Ark (it too me an embaressing amount of time to get that one. Josh

Her cumulative running wish list for Chanukah/Birthday, etc. is (in her words and in the following order of preference): flying trapeze blimp trampoline roller skates Odd thing: she's not all that physcially daring, but likes the *idea* of these items.

'Dani Weiss' posted on the Mon 22 Nov 2004, 1:18 pm my sister's still waiting for her afikoman ice skates form when she was 14 (she now has three kids). i never got my pony, or to be an ethiopian, or to be a fire truck. : ( i think the trampoline is a brilliant idea (maybe wait til she's a little bigger?). i loved the one at my nursery school. i also want a record player and a collection of vinyls, but that may have to wait til we're rich.

Twin Peaks was my favorite non-comedy TV show ever before it doddered off into navel-gazing; every episode was like a miniature movie. Branaugh's Much Ado was kind of a disappointment. For Richard III, I think the master is Ian McLellan (saw him perform live, although film version also reputed to be good: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0792844041/intelligentsiane/002-0252783-4127243) Daniel
