We’re having some freaky weather today – sunny, cloudy, sunny, then snow showers all accompanied by some high winds. There’s nothing accumulating but it’s a good day to sit in front of the television and veg. The history channel is doing one of its weekend Band of Brothers marathon, so I’m plopped here, pigging out on popcorn (I feel sick from eating it), watching it while catching up on all the wonderful February blog entries.
I have to say, we watched Band of Brothers when it first appeared on HBO many years ago. It still remains, in my mind, one of the best, if not the best, mini-series ever. I have always had an interest in World War II but I think this series does some of the best work, telling the story of the American soldier in Europe during the War. If you haven’t already seen it, I recommend renting it. If you have, maybe every so often, around Veteran’s Day or Memorial Day, you might want to check it out again.
I still can’t hear the music from the clip below without tears…
