Wow! That sounds pretty cool! I watch the food channel with my mom, and I like watching the shows, because I keep learning how to cook new stuff. ( If only I had my own oven, though! :D ] I also wanted to know, how come I never got that Its A Wonderful Life DVD??? I didn't get a copy of the play that I was in! haha, I thought they would tell us something! Being a part of the play, the cast would be the only people that didn't get to REALLY see it all.... At least I would!!!
Where can I get a DVD?? Is it too late to get one? I think its too late, but do you know if it's too late to see that play? -Gabe
