I just read in today’s Parade magazine that Liev Schreiber, one of my favorite actors, wrote the screenplay for & is going to direct a movie based on the book Everything is Illuminated, and that Elijah Wood (he was Frodo in the Lord of the Rings series) is going to play the lead role. How exciting! This was a book suggested but not picked by our book group one month; I read it anyway and loved it. I look forward to seeing the movie whenever it comes out.
On another subject, Dale and I are thrilled that the Tour de France is on again. Even Jonathan is watching a lot of it. I think the OLN coverage is superb and their commentators are very interesting to listen to, not boring like the networks. Best of luck to Lance—I sure hope he wins his sixth Tour and will be on edge all month until it’s decided one way or another.
