One of the members of one of my professional listservs is looking to sell a 50' narrowboat on a residential mooring on the Llangollen Canal. Anyone interested? :-)

One of my more acerbic friends commented on the death of Charlton Heston, "They can take his rifle off him now, I guess", and another asked, in a separate post "...has anyone yet managed to pry his rifle from his cold, dead hands?" Yowza, no love for the Hollywood Moses there! :-)
While I didn't like his politics one bit, I honor him as an amazing actor. I saw him onstage in London back in the 1980s, and I have to say he was stunning. I had not believed that a larger than life person like Heston could pull off the role of Lt Cdr Queeg in The Caine Mutiny Courtmartial, but he was fantastic. Big, strong, powerful man, reduced to week, puny, and grasping at straws by the end of the play. Terribly impressive.
