Gd News!

My sis-in-law is pregnant.
I can't tell you how happy i am for her.
She has been trying for 2 years or so... it's been a long long wait.
And the good news came just a day before her 25th birthday.
What a great gift from God.



She tested five times... you know, just to be sure.

I'm so happy that she's going to have a baby.
She's so great with kids... even Marco loves playing with her.
And she'll make a fantastic Mum, i know that for a fact.

On a different note, last nite, i was kept up till 3.30am by yet another great film.
The last in my week-long home-movie marathon.
The Great Debaters, directed by and starring Denzel Washington.


Yea, you are right... with him in it, just about nothing can go wrong.
How true.
It's an entirely black cast, suitably.
And is set in the 1930s.
But to say it's simply about racism / debates is to miss the point.
It's about intellect, the way things were, integrity, education and eloquence.
To not react with spite, violence or crudeness, but to express your hatred and dissent intellectually through words.
Thoroughly brilliant.


Best thing is: it's actually a true story.



Tell me if you are not struck by the force of the script.
Or the charisma of the actors.
There is a reason Denzel W. is the best black actor around.
Or best actor, for that matter.
