In my opinion, there is no better place to go on a honeymoon than in some hardwood covered mountains with emerald stream, tall waterfalls (tallest west of the Mississippi), a furnished cabin that didn't cost me a penny, and best of all no people.<BR/><BR/>Sage - My new wife wanted a romantic dinner in town followed by a movie. We had to choose between a slapstick comedy and sword fighting. Sword fighting won out. But the ice cream cones eaten on the drive back to the cabin on moonlit winding mountain roads soothed any wounds such a film choice might have caused.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1148529400352729272006-05-24T23:56:00.000-04:002006-05-24T23:56:00.000-04:00I've yet to see TROY but I am very interested in w...I've yet to see TROY but I am very interested in watching it.

Anyway, these films even with their limitations, make ancient texts known to new audiences, and that is a good thing.franvisionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10762444259006600040noreply@blogger.com
