I can't believe that, although we're already deep into 2010, I still have a few 2008 films that I should see. Nevertheless, at this point I just have to call it a day so I can focus more on 2009.
Another thing that I can't quite believe: a film directed by Uli Edel is at the top of my "top 10 films of the year" list.

I spoke with Cam the other night. He's in good spirits and, most importantly, he's feeling feisty. He's pissed off at the cancer and is determined to defeat it, which is at least half the battle. It was also dicovered in an early stage, which is good news as well.

I worry much for you as what Swayze has is often terminal, so I hope that, for your sake, your wife's and ours that you have a quick recovery and get past the medical problems quickly and efficiently.
