My Dad and his wife came to visit last weekend. With gas prices being so high, I suggested they look into taking the train from Detroit to the Chicago area. The round-trip price per person: $150 USD.

Ok, now that the rest of America has had a chance to watch the Lost finale or is currently watching it, I'll give my thoughts on this great piece of story-telling. I don't know about you, but I spent most of the episode literally feeling like anything could happen... and with a big grin on my face for most of the time.

WOW! Mind... still... reeling...

I kind of chuckled to my wife when Jack made his final telephone call to meet someone at the airport - just how many people turned to each other at that moment in their living rooms with puzzled looks on their faces.

Take that Heroes!!! 🙂

The disappointing season finale of Heroes has made me even more hopeful for the 2 hour Lost season finale tonight, got to try and lower my expectations so I don't get crushed... Meanwhile, Jess posted this link to an absolutely hilarious visual recap of Lost Season 3 (best viewed if you already know what happened this season).
