2 x 2 DEGREES OF SEPARATION



This has nothing to do with Kevin Bacon. Are you familiar with the game "Six Degrees of Separation from Kevin Bacon?" This is about "degrees of separation" from Leonardo Di Caprio. The picture was taken by son Andy at the London premiere of the movie "Blood Diamonds". He stood outside the theatre with friends snapping pictures as the stars arrived.
Last year our former pastors did a missionary trip to South Africa and Mozambique. She had some health problems and they did a little R & R at a seaside resort in Mozambique. The hotel staff told them there were other Americans staying there. Later that day they saw Leo who was filming "Blood Diamonds" in Africa.
We will watch the Oscars but haven't seen many of the movies. I did see "The Departed" and liked Leo in the role. It is a violent movie but he is good. With this double connection I think I will root for him to win for "Blood Diamonds."

Alas, no Oscar for Leo. I meant to ask Andy if he really took those pictures... Last year in one of my classes someone did a report on Blood/Conflict Diamonds and said a movie was coming out later that year. Sure enough. I had never heard of them, and I actually never saw the movie either. But I do have the Departed DVD at home waiting to be watched.

In an unrelated (?) note Helen Mirren really was good as the Queen.
