I watched the Oscars this year for the first time in many years. We had seen several of the movies that were up for awards and that made it quite interesting. I would have given the best actor award to Phillip Seymore Hoffman and so I agreed with the Academy. I felt Felicity Huffman should have received the best actress award, but Reese Witherspoon was great too. My choice for best picture would have been Brokeback Mountain, but again Crash was also deserving. I didn't agree with some of the choices, but all were deserving. This year there was an overabundance of talent. What a great year for the movies!

About Me
- Name: don
- Location: Midwest, United States
I have been retired for about seven years now. I enjoy retirement immensely as it gives me time to pursue my interests. One of my interests is model railroading. I have been interested in this hobby for many years as I got my first electric train when I was three. The layout I have now I started about eighteen years ago. This has provided me with many hours of pleasure. Another of my interests is painting. I began by painting backdrops for my model railroad. I then started painting landscapes, still lifes, and have painted three portraits. Recently I got a lot of barnboard and have been painting on it, creating yard art. My wife and I enjoy going to plays and see as many as we can. We are fortunate that we have several excellent local theatres within driving distance of our home. I also enjoy musicals. I have seen Miss Saigon and Rent recently. Gardening, church work, and reading also keeps me busy. I enjoy many types of literature, but have been reading mystery novels lately. Within the past two years I have read all of the Tony Hillerman novels and all of the Sue Grafton mystery novels. Both are excellent writers.
