I feel the love

The United States Government sent me an e-mail. Because it was unwanted, it's spam. My tax dollars at work. It makes me feel so -- loved -- to be getting ObamaCare spam.

The interesting part is that I not only never began to enroll for subsidized government healthcare, I never would. I realize that "never" is a dangerous word to use, but I'm using it here.

The Bodyguard

The theme song to the 1992 feature film, The Bodyguard, was the highest grossing of all time. It was the apex of the late Whitney Houston's singing career. Quite a bit of the movie was filmed at Falling Leaf on the shore of Lake Tahoe, NV/CA (the lake bounds both California - up hill from Sacramento and Nevada - up hill from Reno), which is nothing if not a picturesque backdrop to film a love story.

Though both Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston were slapped by critics for less than sterling acting, the film was a huge commercial success.
