Jerome Murat segment, very cool

My niece sent this to me, it is cool but it takes awhile. And speakers, too.

Good cop show

This is a great show, although it's often hard to find. It's on TNT and it is on tonight. Kyra Sedgewick is very amusing as the southern belle, transferred to Los Angeles. http://alt.tnt.tv/closer/

Roadshow notes

So, we went,we had fun. Luckily our tickets said be there at 8:00, so we were done by 11:00 or so. Times to line up were 8,9:30,12:30 and 2:00. I was glad to get done and scoot out of there. Those cement floors make it hard to hang around very long, even if they would let you. I took my friend from work and both of us together didn't have $1,000 worth of stuff. That's really okay, we just wanted to see what was going on. I really love to watch the program and I can't wait to see Tucson's treasures in January or thereabouts. They were very organized and have pretty much got it down to a science. Some of the folks we were in line with got pulled into the green room for filming. All kinds of weird and cool things were up and down the lines. I went for the smallest things I could find but some people brought huge items. I guess I didn't have anything big to worry about but even if I had something, it would have had to be spectacular in order for me to be tempted to bring it along. Too much work. Even little, old ladies were hauling side tables, rocking chairs and giant, asian ginger jars. I hope some of them were able to get on t.v., if that's what they wanted. I've demystified the Antiques Roadshow....ever onward!
