"Heroes in a half-shell"

That's right. It was not Titanic. Nor was it any other normal "Good" movie (like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars). The only movie that I specifically recall seeing 3 times in the movie theater was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (part 1). It was 1990.

I still remember my first TMNT action figure. I received it from the Dorff's as a Christmas present. It was Michaelangelo and he had a rubber head that could be squeezed. This feature later led me to believe that I got into the Turtles earlier than most others because all later turtles had hard heads made out of the same plastic as their bodies. I also had / have the first two episodes on VHS, which I received at the same time as Michaelangelo. Later I received the first comic.

In other news, I've now beaten Philip in Tecmo Bowl 3 of the last 4 times we've played. Including victories with scores like 27 - 0 and 20 - 7. My only loss of the four, was a 14 - 13 knockout, dragout 10-yard fight. In summary, of the last four games I've had to outscore him by an average of over 10 points.

A list of countries I've visited: Aruba, Bahamas, Canada, Costa Rica, England, France, Latvia, Lithuania, and Mexico.

If I could visit any country in the world (and I can), it would be (will be) Italy. If the places I visit in Italy are half as beautiful as I imagine them, I will be in for a grand treat.
