Off to Vail for my third day of snowboarding. Being the only girl in this troupe, I've spent the last few evenings soaking in Wives and Daughters which is a film adaptaion by the BBC of a british novel set in 1865. I had heard of the four part miniseries before, but never knew it was a book as well--and I intend to read at once! Although there are no wild and roving moor scenes, the study of virtue in this series is delightful. Similar to Austen there is a wide range of female examples of behavior, allowing the viewer to gauge where she is on the spectrum--and focus on where she ought to be (Molly Gibson of course). Anyway, check it out--it definitely beats playing X box.
Note: this image was originally taken from Coffeeworks Blog and offers another delightful review of the film.

i will try to find it dear one. i hope oliver is recovering from his gouged eye incident. i love you !
love boo
Based solely on the picture I feel confident that time would be better spent on the XBox.
I'm going to go ahead and support the claim posted by yo_mamma. X Box was fun, and it was time well spent. I wonder why guys can really come together and have a good time of fellowship around X Boxes. Anybody have the answer to this?
Boo--you MUST watch it soon! In fact I think it would be good for a small women's group to do as a study on Biblical womanhood--it's not explicitly Christian, but the principles are def. Scriptural.
Yo mama & Mr. J, thank you for your thoughts.
XBOX is sweet because its competition without physical exhaustion. and the graphics are way better than PS2
Thanks for visiting Becky! I found my copy at the library--have you checked there yet?
Brother--you have to admit though, nothing beats Super Mario Bros. in Daniel Hamilton's basement!
New Brother - thanks for the keen insight. I did enjoy playing hockey without losing 2 liters of water!
