Of course, he hasn't been there for four months. But it was always "World News Tonight With Peter Jennings," even though it was Charlie or Elizabeth anchoring. That was a little strange. I guess now it will be just "World News Tonight," or "World News Tonight With Charlie Gibson (or Elizabeth...

I wrote this poem for Peter after the 9/11 attacks. He truly was an anchor in every sense of the word during that time, and he will be sadly missed. At least he leaves his legacy in capable hands. I think the world of Charlie Gibson, and Elizabeth Vargas seems very well-suited to the job as...

Peter Jennings was one of my favorite people on TV. He was especially helpful to me during 9/11. When I heard about his illness - just a couple days after the Pope died, no less - I was devastated, and I figured he probably wouldn't be with us much longer. You like to hold out hope, but lung...

I still usually say MAC machine, and I always say pop. It was funny, my aunt, visiting for the weekend from York, PA, asked for a soda in Dairy Queen and they didn't know what she was talking about!! I found that a bit surprising, but pop definitely is the preferred term around here. I have...

I just love uniquely British words. It seems to me everyday speech there has an elegance that is just lacking here. I think I feel more connected with England than America. Almost all my favorite authors are from there. I must say, though, after reading the sixth Harry Potter book, that...

LOL! Semi-seriously, though, that would be sooooo cool to have a house made out of cheese!! :excited: Except then I'd eat it... And I wouldn't have a house anymore... :cry: Erin

Lots of interesting ideas there, Hera. The Snape theory is sort of plausible... But I don't know... At any rate, you never can tell what will happen with Rowling. I think it's so horrible that the horcrus turned out not to be there at all, and that essentially the whole thing was a waste...

LOL. That was amusing. :p Erin

Yeah, I was sad to hear about James Doohan. Always loved Scotty. It wasn't a huge surprise, knowing how frail he was, but it was a shame nonetheless... Erin

The store where I worked up till June had a big shebang, and I really wanted to go, but it was the weekend of my family reunion so I was out of town. I guess I could have skipped the reunion... Oh well. I hate that everything always seems to happen at once. I didn't start reading it until a...

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. My deepest condolences. :cry::cry::cry: Erin

You must be sooo psyched for your trip! And maybe a little nervous too... I'm sure it will be an absolutely awesome experience. Have a great time!! Erin

That's very cool. I read the first four books to my brother. Didn't read the fifth for some reason; he didn't seem that interested at that point. But it definitely can be fun! Hagrid wears out my voice super fast!! Erin

Those are fun. Reader's Digest publishes stuff like that sometimes. Always good for a laugh... :) Erin

I suspect the company has been around longer than the movie, and it wouldn't make sense for them to use him as their logo unless they were affiliated with Disney. Plus I would imagine the bear and candle had some particular significance, even if the person you contacted didn't know what it was...

Hang in there, Beau! I'm sure you'll get your license long before me! Erin

I'm also Scots-Irish. And Swedish. But on both sides my folks have been in America several generations. I'm a Lutheran, which in general is pretty close to Presbyterian, I think. Erin

Yeah, I saw those signs too when I was in New York. They really wanted it... Erin

And I was supposed to be flying in to London today. That trip was cancelled a couple months ago, but I can't help but find that kind of eerie. I woke up this morning to Good Morning America's special report, and I was just flabbergasted. What is wrong with people??? And if it has to do with...

Oh, did London get it? I missed the announcement. Congrats! That should be pretty cool. Long live London! Who's hosting in 2008, by the way? Erin
