[Jacob-list] re: tv star

[Kathryn Shirley]

I have to laugh.  A friend and I went to see First Knight--a horrible
rendition of King Arthur.  What got us pumped up and excited (and caused

Jacob sheep right at the beginning of the movie.  Too bad the movie
didn't live up to the first 15 minutes of excitement!
