Thank you so much for the great trip report. I'm headed to London at Thanksgiving and hadn't been aware of the new Terracotta Army exhibit at the British Museum. Thanks to you, I'm buying an ticket now to secure entry!!

If only you could give me advice on how to secure a ticket to Led Zeppelin's reunion concert.

thanks again. Pat.

Aloooha yk!

Answering your question here. What a fabulous meal you shared! Isn't he the sweetest?!?

I met him at work. First I was working another movie while my husband was working School Ties - his and many others breakout movie - in the town of Concord, MA. I then worked with him on With Honours, shot around Harvard and Cambridge - the night of the wrap was the memorable embrace and kiss! The hug was huge and heartfelt and the kiss grazed my cheek with sincerity. I then worked with him on one other occasion doing Mrs Winterbourne. He was with a girlfriend, who may now be his wife. He was sooooo in love.

I just new from that platonical hug and kiss the kind of person I was with....a very generous, kind and cureous, gracious gentleman. And 10 years after, it seems I was right!

kealalani -
What a great story to tell! We actually talked a bit about Massachusetts during our dinner (before I knew who he was). I told him I spent 8 years in Boston (for school), and he said he spent some time in Middlesex County in the early 1990s (must be when he was shooting School Ties). He even remarked that we both began our careers in MA!

Daunt's is still there, although the golden lab has left the building I'm afraid!

I'll be in for a quick visit next week - one of my fav bookstores also!!
