"Fifty dollar bell!"

It's late on Thursday night (just finished a really cool conversation with Ginger), and as I'm getting ready to watch the first episode on disc 6 of "Lost," I happen to turn on TBS and see that "Goonies" is playing. They're at the point where the group is still underground, trying to find One Eyed Willie and Chunk is up in the abandoned restaurant, about to be discovered by the crazy lady and her son. Ahhhhhh, the memories. In grade school, I would spend the summers with my cousins up in Springfield, Missouri, and we would watch Goonies over and over and over again. Just last week, I found myself quoting, for some random reason, "Fifty dollar bell!" One of my high school students reminds me a lot of Data... his name is Matt and he is almost just like him.

A month or so ago, A Welsh View (blog) did an interesting update on all the characters who played in Goonies and all the things they've done since and what they are all up to now... Corey Feldman, that dude is wacked!

Having Fridays off to sleep in is so much fun because Thursday nights, I'm usually up quite late checking out all kinds of stuff. I can count on Maximus to wake me up sometime in the morning, usually by 8:00 or so.
