I did this a few posts back. Did you see it? Mine was a little shorter, I think. K is hard, too.
I have a gorgeous navy summer dress that I haven't worn yet. I love Bette Davis, but I've never seen "Now Voyager". I loved "All About Eve" but, "Jezebel" I thought the script was lacking. LOVED Sunset Blvd. LOVED!!!
I live right here near New Orleans and it's just GROSS! Murder and crime.- Wednesday, August 15, 2007 at 8:20:00 AM PDT

Your answer, New Orleans, made me sad that I never took a trip there. I sure do hope it is restored to its former greatness, but I fear it can never be the same again. I truly missed out!! I hope to visit some day.- Wednesday, August 15, 2007 at 12:30:00 PM PDT

This looks like fun and I will try it soon. I'll have to create a kid version for my little ones. I'm sure they'd enjoy it, too, and it'll bring out their creativity after a long summer of hazy, lazy days. Thanks for sharing, Naomi. I loved your answers!

I did it in my head as I was reading it- P is quite easy - but perhaps I skipped over the difficult ones. I also am a big fan of 'Now Voyager'
