I was in the grocery store one day and one of those mad bomber type actors was shopping with his kids. It made me wonder what it was like to have a father who looked the part of a villian.Betty Hechtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652848311122102223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-52566703033752612012010-06-15T11:34:56.912-04:002010-06-15T11:34:56.912-04:00So true, Linda.

It's reflected in the books we read.<br />I tend to read books that are detail/people driven (traditional mysteries) or police procedurals where as Mike reads political thrillers mostly where plot is action driven and there aren't so many little details along the way for clues. <br />So with a show like Castle, I solve the crime. With Burn Notice Mike enjoys the chases and the explosions.Life is good.carynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06761365713102858135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-81613747384621271012010-06-15T05:28:48.490-04:002010-06-15T05:28:48.490-04:00I do a little of both.
