No way he can afford those digs on a divorced dad budget anywhere near NYC unless he has LOTS of family money ;0) However, I am accustomed to TV or ficton characters living in fantasy homes. My daughter commented that all character in Patterson novels live in houses in SF with bay views and just how much would that really cost? (I was kinda proud of her for noticing that).

And that cancer storyline of "do you believe you have cancer" was rough on me because ummm until you have had a doctor say you have cancer and it will kill you then you do not know what it takes to believe such an awful thing. And this character was real young. And having a psychiatrist kinda yell that at you first visit would make me run also.

This character needs to go to Colorado and find Mary T. Kelly who I KNOW would never yell at anyone in that situation. And she has really good hair.

But about the haircut. Too damn short.

I really don't care because Gabriel is like one of the sexiest men on the planet and he could be bald or have green hair and I would not care.

I rarely watch TV. I get ill viewing News Hour.
It reminds me of a high school blind date. huh.
I was working up toward a love scene kiss. huh.
She was pleasant and pretty as the daylily. huh.
Then, she gagged. She was too overcome. What?
Later we discovered she had a morning sickness.
I fear this TV show will remind me. She pregnant?
Psychotherapy? TV relives stress? O, well-beings?
Self-awareness? TV is for rational? Ay, perceive it.
Ay. Folk can perceive Life in a totally new manner?
Yes. Each day. Now it's sunny. Earlier it was rainy.

Did not see the show, but as I so totally dug your title, I came over to give you a thumbs up.

Susan...thanks!

Dorinda, yes, the fantasy homes could send a person over the edge. Just your everyday joe living in a $2.4 million brownstone walkup or mansion.

I don't quite get the Gabriel Byrne sexiness - but I do think the new haircut gives him an edginess that wasn't there before.

Arthur - thanks for the poem.

As long as he whispers in my ear, I don't care what his hair looks like (it just better be clean).

This is way off topic but I want to know what you do when you really really miss New Orleans food? Some stuff I make myself but others just don't seem to be duplicable out here beyond the bayou. Okay go ahead with the rest of your conversation. Sorry.

Tijo - that's funny :-)
but since no one seems to want to talk about Gabriel/Paul's hair, let's talk about food

well, a couple of things: 1) Popeye's has amazingly good red beans & rice
2) find a good (if expensive) place to eat some reasonable facsimile...here Legal Seafood's has pretty good gumbo and there are a few seafood places (mostly Jeff Black's restaurants) that have respectable fish
3) fly home :-) I've accumulated a fair number of SWA miles, so I go about 3/4 x a year

I've said it before. It makes him look like George Orwell (Eric Blair).
