As for me, I'm OK. I need one thing though.
To keep reminding my self that I ain't so young anymore, and take an easier pace on
things. I'm nursing a strained knee for the moment, but actually I haven't let anything
fall behind. My studies are in order, my workouts the same (holding back a little, leg
routines), a couple projects that I'm in, going fine, (long hours, though I'm doing most
of the work at home).
And finally I added to my collection a few of my favorites Tv shows, one of them I'm
presenting it to you right now.
A nice weekend to you all
The Song Of The Day
"Reilly: Ace Of Spies" (1983)
Mini series about Sidney George Reilly (1873-1925)
Sex, murder, intrigue, moves and countermoves, all the stuff that really juicy mini-series
are made of...and its a true story. The original introduction that ran with the PBS showing
stated that Ian Fleming used Sidney Reilly as the basis of James Bond. Sidney, as played by
the great Sam Neill certainly embodies all the trademark qualities of that later spy...a way
with a gun and the ladies, a wry sense of humor and a cold, calculating methodolgy.
The series covers the time period of the Great Game, when in Europe, Russia and England
tried to out move each other in access to the newly emerging oil fields of the Middle East.
Echoes of that period - approximately (forgive my fading memory) 1895 to 1922 - are still
bouncing around the world. Sam Neill is extraordinary as the first great professional spy
who set the standard for those who came after, changing it from a gentleman's game to
a deadly serious career path.
(review at IMDb).
I couldn't said it better! If you haven't see it, I recommend that you do. Excellent TV!
