We signed up for HBO recently,

cuz Game of Thrones is starting soon, and as part the deal we got access to a whole lot of movies, including 'Saving Grace'. Grace is a proper English widow, living in a picturesque seaside village, whose husband just died and left her with a bunch of debt. I love dry Brit humor and this one starts out slowly as Grace finds out she's gonna lose her home and large orchid greenhouse. I've never seen Craig Ferguson as an actor, only as the Late Late Show host, where I really like him and his subtle wit. Anyway, he does a great job as the gardener, who likes the occasional toke, and the story takes off as they decide to grow pot, to pay the bills. One of the funniest parts is when her garden club makes tea from her 'tea plants' and gets the giggly munchies in the local market. Very good flick if you like quirky English humor.
Sort of on that subject, the Denver Post reported this morning that it's nearly impossible to find a room in Denver around April 20th, as tourism just continues to rise. Hmm, I wonder why 4-20 is so popular?

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store
