Our first-season West Wing DVDs have arrived from England or Australia or wherever we ordered them from. I have hopes that the player that can read them will be along shortly.

Woo hoo. I just noticed that Schoolhouse Rock has been compiled on DVD! Gotta get that. The release date was just a couple days ago, and I bumped into it by chance. I've been loosely compiling an Amazon order for a while and they're currently doing free shipping, so this seems a good time to run up the credit card.

For those who care: my "last few days" entry on Tuesday has spawned a small discussion on how some Jews go about deciding what music from Christiandom is ok to sing. (The specific context is choral music.)

Remember my high-school friend Lori and her husband, Daniel-the-annoying-evangelist? They have email now. I'm not sure they and the net are ready for each other; they had very few computer instincts when last we discussed the subject. They're also pregnant, and they want to get together with us real soon to catch up, and there'll be a baby shower in a few weeks, and... I'm not sure I'm ready for elevated levels of contact with them. I think the once-a-year model worked pretty well, actually.

Can I borrow them at some point? I recently broke down and got one of "those" DVD players (which I have yet to hook up) but nothing yet with which to validate its zone-free capability.

Sure, you can borrow them. You can either wait until we've seen them or negotiate with Dani about borrow-now-but-return-on-demand schemes. :-)

The Schoolhouse Rock DVD is pretty darn awsome. Haven't had a chance to watch all the special features, but Tuesday night kitanzi and I sat down and watched all 45 shorts, and it was amusing to see which ones we could still sing by heart 20 years after last seeing them on TV. :)

Love,

I'm wondering how many of them I'll be able to sing from (gak!) almost 30 years ago. I've had one booster shot since then; a friend had a videotape of some of them at a party about five years ago, so I got to see some of them then. I'm looking forward to getting the DVD.

I'm pretty sure I never saw any science ones as a kid, so that'll be new to me. I think I would remember science episodes.
