   You really DON'T have to follow a formula. Bond is a successful license, but the FORMAT is wearing thin. When people speak of what they love of Bond, they usually speak of Dr. No, and Connery.
   And License to Kill may have been a departure from format for Bond in some ways, but it was riddled with clichés from JCVD movies. The big explosion of an oil rig at the end kida says it all– the big climax of the Bond film is the kind of thing that, in real life, barely makes the evening news.
   The quips, the one-liners– reduce Bond to 'Otter' from Animal House. Which is ridiculous, as Bond is really cool. He isn't irresponsible, and an M that thinks so doesn't get him. He cares about things, but less than most people expect him to. He isn't a 'loose cannon'; loose canons in the spy game don't live long. He's a GAME PLAYER, and people who play games with him tend to lose.
   He's an Englishman and very secure in that. He doesn't waste a lot of time impersonating people of other nations. He wants to do the job and then move on. But he's also a bit lost in his own identity as a playboy. Like Bruce Wayne, he's putting on an act, but he doesn't have the death of his parents to keep him grounded in reality. He enjoys his leisure but when work's in fron of him, he's focused on it.
   (I don't accept the Never Say Never Again notion that women distract him; I think he sees that, in espionage, they are hurdles– jumping over them is perilous, but dancing around them can be helpful to his work.)
   I do agree about the technology. It needs to be on the front end of current technology. Explosives the size of a Contac capsule. Remote control cars… sure, okay. But how about cellular phones that can use any high reach object (telephone pole, tree, etc) as an antenna? Credit cards that scan and hack the POS of any computer register they encounter? Bullets that dissolve and destroy themselves beyond ballistic analysis? Aerosol cans that diminsh any use of DNA profiling at a crime scene?
   Think practical, step forward, and then make sense of the step, is the way to do technology.

   I asked Roman earlier in the week what we should get Daddy for Father's Day. What would he like. And he said, I think Daddy would like a remote control helicopter. an orange one. I thought, J won't want that, will he? but day after day, when I asked, Ro answered the same. So we went on Sunday together to buy one. And all the little boys with their dads in the mall gathered around while the salesclerk demo'd them, smallest to biggest (one was like the size of a crow or something) and everyone was awed. And I thought of Doug and Liam and how Liam will be able to tell about his Dad who flew those puppies for real. Much love to you, Liam and Doug. I've thought of you guys all week.

   how is it possible to extend the remote control capability of a TVBGone, that device that shuts off virtually any tv? suppose I want to stick it up in a tree, aim it at a neighbor's tv which goes all night but want to control it from inside my own house? is this possible? I came across this website:

   which mentions an IR to RF to IR remote control device- do I need one of those? Thank you

   Well I'm gonna to go then. And I don't need any of this. I don't need this stuff, and I don't need you. I don't need anything except this. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, that's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. I don't need one other thing, not one – I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair. And I don't need one other thing, except my dog. [Dog barks] I don't need my dog.
