***I've only seen Gance's silent version of "Napoleon." Dunno how I missed Bondarchuk's. Can't say much about interior design either (I've got cables, amps, DAC, etc. all over the floor, and acoustic treatment that makes the room look like it's a garage from "Hee Haw").

Hmmm, perhaps because you are not married. Remember the Higgins' "Let the woman in your life..." bit of wisdom? One of the most brilliant songs in the film.

On the other hand, there is something to be said for that organizing touch that women bring to our lives. I hate to think where I would be today if not for *my* Fair Lady. When we moved into our present home, we divided it evenly. She took control of the complete upstairs - it is a single-story house. I was allowed to control the downstairs - that most delectable 2500 sq. foot basement - the subject of my endless dreams (we used to live in a contemporary split level with the basement perhaps 200 sq. feet in size). The partition between the two worlds was the floor mat at the basement door, later supplemented by another one, so all metal shavings and saw dust would not penetrate the upper sanctum.

Ah, yes, and I was allowed the use of an office upstairs. Don't you think this was far more than generous?

Bottom line - I have never regretted "Letting the woman in my life".
