1. I saw a baby today
Not sure he was a million dollar baby, but he is to his parents.

As a side note, how come you're online and not showing up in my buddy list?

3. Howdy
I'm on the regular computer............I need to re-install AOL.
Too lazy to use the laptop right now.
Ken re-configured and did some cleaning up on this computer and now I access the internet through Firefox.
I'm looking for my AOL disc - if I can't find it I'll get another one. Don't want to download it from their site.

2. I'm waiting for video--never cared for Clint's style of directing...
...meandering and unfocused.

I hear Hilary is wonderful, though.

5. They all do a terrific job - Hilary, Clint and Morgan
My mind never wandered - directing was focused this time.

13. I keep thinking about it .....
So many levels in this movie. So much sadness. Wonderful camaraderie. Did your girlfriend like it as well?

12. I saw it last weekend.
My favorite part was the tet a tet that Clint and Morgan Freeman have about the holes in Morgan's socks. Boxing is so much more than being the biggest, strongest and fastest. It's about psychological domination.

My favorite quote was:
"I saw your last fight. You had your face down so much, you'd think the canvas had titties."


It was a really touching love story, too.

15. Me too
I also liked the 'sock debate'...... and the money probably would have made it to the track.
