I hope and pray your husband is feeling better and can come home soon.  Caring thoughts are with you too, rainingwolf.

you have any pics?

Here's one of Borgosi's attached photos:

John Karlen & Roger Davis

More were posted after the July Fest that you can find with a simple search.

I'd forgotten that Chris and Carolyn profess their love for each other.  And after he has dumped her!  This is the sort of situation that leads to breakup sex.  <sigh>

I was surprised, however, when David didn't remember coming downstairs.  I thought that at that point he had consciousness.

Short term memory loss caused by the experience, maybe?  I was confused by it too.

The storyline seems to have come to the end of its "Turn of the Screw" parallels, since the book ends with an implied exorcism (though with a markedly different result).

But since when is Stokes a man of God, and why didn't Liz call in a priest to perform the rite?  Some very good lines there:  "Alien spirits, defilers of innocence, persecutors of virtue.."  I would have loved to hear the rest of Stokes' ritual that was drowned out by David's shouts.
 

Stokes and Julia are good friends these days.  A few months ago Stokes tried to get some information out of Julia about Barnabas and Adam, and Julia didn't give, but now that's all water over the dam or under the bridge. and Stokes seems quite fond of Julia.

After she dismisses his inquiry about Chris's odd behavior by simply saying that he has problems, I love it that Stokes smiles and says to her, "That tells me precisely nothing, which I'm sure is what you intended."
 

Chris came across as a cad today.  Now that we know about Sabrina, it seems improper for him to be involved with Carolyn.  Of course, he believed that Sabrina was dead, but that's all the more reason for him to have avoided an involvement with Carolyn.  It's a pity, because they were great together.  And if he could have brought himself to tell Carolyn about his problem, I think she might well have been sympathetic.  After all, she was sympathetic to Adam.

I guess I'm still feeling sympathetic toward Chris despite his personality issues.  He's lonely, dated Carolyn-- who afforded him some permanence by providing him with a job and a home near his sister, and ended up falling in love with her.  Was that really improper?  Good point about Carolyn being sympathetic.  Chris finally found a female he can confide in, but she's more mother figure/savior than potential mate.  (Um, that whole look-alike brother thing aside. )

I think Julia, OTOH, is the one who doesn't come off well in this episode.  She tells Chris that he's not responsible for what happened to Sabrina (but he is!).  She tells him that Sabrina's collapse was nothing to fret about because it was medically insignificant (but how terrifying it must have been for him!).  She suggests that Sabrina's inability to speak is a good thing since it means she can't reveal his secret (that is cold!).  She wants him to chill because he has Barnabas and her to help him (even though they have no actual plan!).  I certainly hope this was all for Chris' benefit and that she didn't actually believe her own hype.

Boy, that was long.   

i don't think they would NOW cause Karlen is the size of a house now. hehe

I have to disagree.  He had slimmed down some when he attended this year's Fest.  I thought he looked fantastic.

Was there cheesecake?

(I received a couple of CynD's creations for Christmas, yay!)

Merry Happy Birthday, arashi!

Happy Holidays!
