Speaking of Formula One ... If you have not seen 'Senna', or 'Rush'--do so! The time will fly by while you watch. They may be available from your cable provider.
If you see Rush, go and look for a BBC Documentary (I found it on YouTube) titled "When Playboys Ruled the World". Fantastic!

Caught myself at work yesterday watching some Robin Williams improv online. Had to force myself to quit. An amazing comedian and sly commentator on the times. Bit sad he succumbed to his demons.

I guess that means you don't watch cycling or sailing either..........?

+1 on F1 for me.

You can try the Bourne movies, they usually have enough violence and complexity to keep me interested for a while without reading or doing email at the same time. It took the Admiral a while to get used to this duplexing. She still doesn't really like it. BV

My computer kills me at chess. But I keep trying.
