That's fascinating. Read a bit more about this on Wikipedia, thanks for

Bummed that D. Craig won't be bond anymore. Casino Royale is amongst my
fav. movies of all time. Looking forward to your review/thoughts.

So sorry to hear this, Avon. My thoughts are with you and your family. I
can really empathize -- as I type this I am down with my parents --
received a call Saturday night that I'd better fly down immediately to LA
and see my father, as he is hospitalized with double pnemonia and stage 4
kidney failure and he is starting to lose lung/breathing function. Not
Covid, but essentially same symptoms of viral pnuemonia, so I wonder...
Docs don;t think he'd survive intubation, but he's an ex-US Marine and a
fighter, so holding out hope he can get trhough this. My mom is also
showing signs of dementia. 

Anyway, as children of aging parents, we're at "that stage" of life now
and it's really hard to deal with, especially when I realize my kids will
have to deal with this some day... 

Keeping a positive outlook - it's a beautiful day in S.Califonia, I saw
on the news it may get close to 90 F this week. Winter, ha!
