Isn't it ashame his appearance in the HBO special will be so limited. Wondering if they'll include flashbacks of him in later series - hope so. In that way, perhaps his role will be expanded.Ricrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837529281561239268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455367558229908000.post-43456536062644329082011-01-10T10:13:14.328-05:002011-01-10T10:13:14.328-05:00LOL..not ADD riddled at all Laura..we always enjoy...LOL..not ADD riddled at all Laura..we always enjoy hearing your 2cents on any topic.<br /><br />The legos fascination makes it clear which stage of womanhood you're currently engrossed in.
