Thanks Beth.  Yup.  My hand hurt considerably.  When I was done I had 8
pages of abreviated notes.  Wow!

Could you tell at this point that I was getting awful tired of those two
interferring with the Horton's Christmas?  Granted, it was the day before
Christmas but, I still have to look at it as Christmas day.  It makes it
easier to continue watching.

I agree here.  I was doing my best to give an unbiased opinion when I
did this update.  I now understand what Joanna was talking about when
it came to remembering to write the proper names for certain characters.
Wasn't their song Fascination?  That song sure was hyped with the music
box, etc.  I really thought it was Fascination, not some Chopin tune.

>And if it wasn't, why was it so special that Larry looked for it for 5

Again agreed.  It's almost as if he forgot about her for five years and
then suddenly remembered her when he found out about Nikki and wanted
to recapture everything.  I know that if I was as much in love as these
two are supposed to be, I'd immediately find the album and hand on to
it as a remembrance until I found someone else, got married, etc.  This
is just too hokey to believe.

Thanks again Beth.  You gave me the opportunity to say what I really
felt about parts of this episode.  I did, however, really enjoy the
scenes at the Hortons and all the time spent with the family.  It
reminded me that the Horton family isn't totally dead afterall.

It partial episodes like this one that make me continue to watch DOOL Quince
