Christmas Dinner

My mom is coming into town for Christmas, and I've been looking for a place where we could go for Christmas dinner. (Cook? Me? Are you kidding?) It looks like the only place open in Bloomington-Normal on Christmas is Denny's. Yes, B-N is a happening place -;)

So we'll have to go 45 minutes to Peoria (http://www.table19restaurant.com/) or 52 minutes to Champaign (http://www.bucadibeppo.com/).

Peter O'Toole

Apparently Peter O'Toole has died. Sad. I loved him in the Lion in Winter and My Favorite Year. I need to see Lawrence of Arabia sometime.

Added: I didn't realize that he was also in Goodbye Mr. Chips. I remember seeing it as a kid and thinking that it was terribly sad.
