IF I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

3 episodes in, and I can see why. I like it pretty well so far.

me too!  i have seen several of them.  he has a way of making history come to life.. however he did make FDR look kind of like a hero in the story

they talked about how after the first few dust storms, there were motorcades of people leaving the Plains, but then it talke dabout the hardships of the ones who stayed, hoping that just one more year and the rains would come and the land would be fertile again..... i would have been the first in line to get out of there!!

We just watched the first two episodes of the first season of "Downton Abbey"

It is entertaining but it is very much soap-operaish.

I could have not done with the doorman and the duke smoochin though.

The youngest daughter Sybil, is the best looking of the bunch.

I would rather live in Maggie Smith's house than that gigantic chill trap.
Stay away from the near occasion of sin

Unless one is deeply attached to the Blessed Virgin Mary, now in time, it impossible to attain salvation.

You and I have similar tastes I see....I'd be trying to court the heck out of that if I was alive back then.

I'm guessing that 95% of the male population would agree with Sybil being the best looking of the bunch.

Son, when thou comest to the service of God, stand in justice and in fear, and prepare thy soul for temptation.
