Would it have been so much trouble??



Les Mis is BIG this season.   A re-make opened Christmas day. How can it be nominated for Oscars and Golden Globes before it is even in theaters????? Haven’t seen it yet because Judd and I have had such a 2 week-bad-cold that we couldn’t imagine the increased congestion after crying in public…

We have seen a non-musical movie version (Liam Neeson on Netflix.)  - Excellent!
 We’ve seen a 25th anniversary Broadway music version – Amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN9SQAcW5Dw

Les Miserable was my mother’s favorite book but I never could make myself read it while she was alive.  She asked me to. She told me it was worth it.  I wouldn't, couldn't in my busy life.  Now I feel bad.

My Mother was also quite bent out of shape when I wouldn’t watch the 10 hours of The Thornbirds TV miniseries….. I told her I had read the book. (I had.) And, just back from Peace Corps, with NO TV for 28 months, I didn’t think I could make myself watch anything on TV that long.  And I refused. I drew my line in the sand over that. So now who feels dumb and mean?
