Shaun of the Dead clip for you.  Apropos for the weekend!  What's your zombie count?  I come up with 9, but this scene makes me so nervous I may be off!   The movie is great Halloween, British fun.  Plus you've got The Smiths in there, if that means anything to you like it does me.  Record it for Halloween and watch with the teens, or after the kiddos have gone to bed.  (And steal a couple of Reeses, will ya?)

In September "Queen Elizabeth II became the longest reigning British monarch in history, passing the record set by her grandmother, Queen Victoria"   She's hip to the times as well, last year writing her first tweet.   news       “Inevitably, a long life can pass by many milestones. My own is no exception.  But I thank you all . . . for your touching messages of great kindness."    news              It's good to be Queen.

Principle in the type:  "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.  We ask ourselves:  'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'  Actually, who are you not to be?   You are a child of God.  Your playing small doesn't serve the world."                Nelson Mandela
