KG-
You don't know how close I came yo picking you up a copy of Scrooged on DVD at one of the pawn shops I went to lately. Sometimes it amazes me the stuff people pawn. Such a fun movie, gald you finally got a copy for yourself!

As you already know, I'm sure, I sent you the name of a really great book on death called Looking at Death by Barbara P. Norfleet. Really great collection of vintage photos dealing with death.
