It's a nice looking case. More importantly for my girlfriend: it provides a place to attach a cell phone charm.
In the spirit of Ocean’s 11, Leverage is about the con. Each episode is a different job. Unlike Ocean’s 11, each mark is targeted because they used their position & power to victimize people. So there’s a Robin Hood-like theme to the premise.
In a nutshell, Nate Ford assembled a group of con artists & thieves who are the best at what they do. Sophie is a grifter who uses her acting skills to “get inside”; Eliot is the kick ass demolitions & combat guy; Alec is wicked w/ his computer hacking skills; and Parker is the quirky thief. Parker by far is my favorite character, her anit-socialness makes for some of the most hilarious interactions between her and the other characters.
Leverage is one of the best shows on TV right now. It has a great sense of humor, intelligently constructed cons each episode, great drama, spontaneous badass action, and well rounded characters (Nate is a recovering alcoholic who lives above a bar, for example). Though off the air until winter/spring, I highly recommend getting your hands on the DVDs so you can get caught up before the new season starts. You won’t regret it.

These things just keep on going, and going and going. Over 50 years old and we can still use it. It's a 1000hp diesel electric switcher and this is the view inside the cab. Lots of control pedestals with levers of brass and iron.
Interestingly, this locomotive seldom has its human operator in the cab -- it's radio controlled and it's one I was helping to get running after it developed radio issues.

[My week came up sooner than originally scheduled in the Musically Challenged group. So here goes.]
I don't watch my favorite shows. I invest in them. If you're not convinced, consider this: currently, between my DVR and videotapes recorded over the last 20+ YEARS, I have over 90 hours of "Hill Street Blues" episodes. (Naturally, there are many duplicates...)
So last year, I got hooked on the cable show "Leverage" with Timothy Hutton. Drama, comedy and action - the elements of life, the elements of a good show.
As is cool original music. In two episodes so far, a simple yet poignant song written by a member of the production crew has been featured. As I Googled frantically to try to find ANY information about the song, I learned there were hundreds of other fans of the show desperate to learn about the same song.
There is a reason for that. Using,unlike me in most posts, a minimum of words, the artist touches on life's perpetual struggle and the catalyst that keeps us struggling: hope.
I'm really glad I found this great show. But I'm especially glad I found this song. Especially as some of the clouds and darkness START to fade from some aspects of my life.
I've been living this song most of my life.
Not Sure Yet
as performed by Andy Lange on "Leverage"
I'm not sure yet
About life, about love
But in time
I'm sure I'll be fine
