Concerning Countdowns

There is one hour left in 2007. Relative to my timezone, of course. Mom, sc0tlas, and I are having our traditional excessive finger foods and movie marathon. (Evan Almighty, Hello Dolly, which we treated as a singalong, and up next is the obligatory Jimmy Stewart movie. This year's Jimmy will be my favorite, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. This is funny, for Evan Almighty is basically the same movie, but with a boat. And without Jimmy.

Thirty minutes left. Mr. Smith is at the Lincoln Memorial for the first time. A young boy is reading the Gettysburg Address. I love this movie.

Fifteen minutes, and Mom is retrieving the Martinelli's. Senator Smith is about to take the oath of office.

Five. We turned off Jimmy to watch Time's Square.

Happy New Year, everyone!
