That was fast! and it started off in fine Monday morning fashion today....nothing like logging on at 7:30 and seeing some work stuff blow up right off the bat. Woohoo!
It was a good weekend in Big Sky land - The weather was good and we managed to get out to Discovery on Sunday to play on the snow. The conditions were OK. The coverage was decent and you could still find some decent snow on some of the steeper slopes along the sides of the runs but most of the mountain has been skied out and there were a few icy spots. They definitely need more snow and our forecast is calling for a warming trend so who knows where it will end up being another tame snow season here.
As the weekend wrapped up, I got sucked into watching another 007 movie for the umpteenth time (From Russia With Love)....and it got me thinking to what my favorite Bond movies are. I have a hard time moving off channels when Bond is on...especially old Bond with Connery and R Moore...it is like turning away from Animal House or movies that are just uber classic....so tomorrow I am going to put together my Top 10 Bond movies as it just helps me to appreciate some of the classic classic Bond action.
I like my Bond to be old school: un-pc, a lothario, a quick witted overall bad ass who drinks like a fish, beds down ladies with promiscuous names (and attitudes), and does not think twice about pulling the trigger on a crazy villain - all for his country!
One of my lists of reads is to go through the old Bond books...Bond is da' man!
When I did a little research a while back it turns out that Bond was perhaps created by Fleming around the real life 'scene' that was happening at the Estoril Casino in Portugal back around the WW II era when spies and royalty openly rubbed shoulders in neutral territory. Fleming was a little bit of a mover and a shaker and probably a wanna-be ladies man and it all helped in developing his Bond character for his books.
although my Monday morning was enough to shake me up (and wake me up a little)....I was not stirred....
