I saw the trailer for Memoirs Of A Geisha on tv the other day. I should say I saw the trailer again. I cannot remember the last time I've been so thrilled about seeing a movie. I have probably seen the trailer between 40 and 50 times and I still haven't tired of it. My excitement over this movie just cannot be suppressed. I read the book back in October during the week my spouse and I went to the National Cathedral and I finished the 448 page book that week and was truly sad when it was over. I already know some things from the book have been cut from the movie but my enthusiasm cannot be dampened. So next time someone says there's no joy in going to the movies, you send them to me!

A little humor for the day. My thanks to Pammy in Florida for this.
