She actually was a great deal better than I feared, and I'm hopeful she'll get better. Though she's not my "real" mom, she may as well be, and I love her very dearly.

Were you enthralled by Eowyn (in many ways a tragic -- hamartic, even -- figure) before seeing Miranda Otto in the part in LotR 2 and 3? You don't seem like that sort of person at all.
You love the scenery in Western Canada -- I lived there in '76 and still feel like an exile sometimes.
I would like to correspond with you. Send me an email address and I'll send you some biographical stuff.

Sure thing!
As for Otto's performance in LOTR, I was disappointed. Too warm and fuzzy. Mind you, I'm kind of warm and fuzzy myself, so it's a bit of a pot-calling-kettle-black situation :) However, I admired the original Eowyn for her clear-eyed adherence to principles of honor, and, of course, was thrilled for her when Faramir broke through her self-defensive coldness and misplaced idealism.
As an unrecovered idealist and as someone who believes in honor, I relate to her -- otherwise, we really aren't much alike. But Eowyn will always be a hero, to me.

Hope your Mom gets better, enjoy the weekend.
Sorry to hear about your mother, Eowyn. I'll add her to my prayers tonight.
Thanks so much, BCF and Charles Henry.

Thanks again for good wishes -- ((hugs))
Eowyn:
I'm glad your Mom's better.

Oh, and by the way, Tony -- you couldn't have chosen a nobler weapon for a handle :)
