I'm looking forward to the show tonight. the digital TV guide says it's a repeat, but the last 2 weeks have said that also, and I didn't remember either one of them. I don't even mind watching repeats of shows I like though. I should be working on a book i'm doing production on but I'm taking the night off. tomorrow's another day, and another big snowstorm.
