Two quick stories to read:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3714369
Tony Romo was walking into the movies and offered to take a homeless man in to watch a movie with him. The man later said, "It came at just the right time. It gave me some encouragement and faith in mankind."

Tony Romo stopped on his way home after the season opener and helped a couple fix their flat tire.
I'm not what you'd call a "Cowboys fan." It's well-known that I don't have an NFL team, and that I've been searching for "my" NFL team for years now. Without a specific team, I'll watch any team's games and enjoy them the same. Tony Romo is a great quarterback, and that alone makes it worth watching him play. However, as a gesture of my appreciation for positive role models from the sporting world, I'm going to watch every Cowboys game on TV for the rest of the season.

On September 26 I predicted that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button would win Best Picture without even having seen it yet. After you follow film long enough, you can just tell from the trailers which pieces will be magical and which will fall short.
Having seen the trailer for Revolutionary Road, I'm tempted to revise my statement about Button and possibly suggest that Revolutionary Road will win. At the very least, I expect both to be nominated.
We're getting down to the end of the year here. All of the nominated films will come out between now and the end of the year. It's almost my favorite time of the year for going to the movies!
Oh, I think Baz Luhrmann's Australia will also be nominated.

An immense joy

Ben & Jerry's:
I salute you. You've gone and done it again. Your magic knows no boundary. Your ingenuity is without measure. Your generosity is unmatched. I thank you from every portion of my body, from the crown of my head on down to my toes, for producing the special edition "Pumpkin Cheesecake" pints. It's the best flavor you've ever made.
Your friend,
Tim
