Roddy Martindale: Let's talk about your old boss, Control. The only Head of the Secret Service who kept his name a secret. Shall we talk about Control?
George Smiley: If you insist.
Roddy Martindale: Of course, it wasn't a secret to you, was it, George? He never had any secrets from you, his tried and trusted right hand, did he?
George Smiley: I don't know. That's the point about secrets.

“Take it from me, there's nothing like a job well done. Except the quiet enveloping darkness at the bottom of a bottle of Jim Beam after a job done any way at all.”

Ramps are here. $3 a bunch for a clump of weeds. Tasty weeds , though. Got some Flounder from P.E. and D.D. Seafood and will make a Ramps, Mushroom and Shallots sauce.



Lilies for Easter.



Benedict Cumberbatch is everywhere all of a sudden. He was excellent in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, am waiting for PBS to start showing Sherlock (May 6 - 20 is Season 2 which includes The Hounds of Baskerville), and he is the voice of Smaug in The Hobbit. I liked this new version of Tinker but I feel for anyone who is not familiar with the book or the Alec Guinness version. Not much exposition in the movie, they just start moving with the plot.

Picking up the DVD today.



Rooting for Louisville tonight and Ohio State.



Jeremy we need you ! Shake off your Linjury.



Vintage 2002, looked around and paid $149.99. Some places had it for $189.99.



CÎROC ad is playing constantly on TV during Sportcasts on Cable. This is the long version. Any ad with Michael K. Williams (Omar) and Frank Vincent is worth it. Homage to the Rat Pack with "The Voice."

Good reviews all around for 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' . Many mention that it helps to have read the book.



I don't go to the movies much, but I think I will for this one.
