The review I read also said that however much money Kim Basinger had to pay to not be in it was worth it.

Speaking of bizarre movies, anybody else ever see "Crash" by David Cronenberg?

Oh yeah, I gotta work, and I'm sure I'll see quitting time-----but that'll be at my house!!!
I gotta put in most of a day though... then I gotta make an appearance Friday also. And if you look real close at the back of my truck, you'll see the skiis in there.

If the NYSE is open, we're open...
I worked today. Only til 1pm, tho, cause the stock market closed at 1. We spent most of the morning getting the office cleaned and organized. An annual end-of-the-year project. We're open on Friday (til 1) but I took the day off. Working next week, Mon - Wed, too. And, again, took Friday off.
