For others, it’s Roger Moore, whose tenure at Bond is currently the longest at twelve years. The Bond buffs among us many remember Timothy Dalton’s brief time as 007 in the late ’80s. My generation? Pierce Brosnan, baby. Brosnan became Bond in 1995, in the series’ first film in six years, “GoldenEye.” My father is a huge James Bond fan. So much so that his marriage to my mom almost ended...

A Special Gift for a Special Friend
I was looking for a gift for a friend. I had no idea what to buy her. I know her very well, but she is still very hard to buy for. One day, while we were shopping, we went into a jewelry store. She was looking at Chinese symbol necklaces. I didn’t think she had one. If she did, I never saw her wear it. I asked her if she liked Chinese symbol necklaces. She said that they were very intriguing and beautiful. I went back to the store after our day out. I chose one in sterling silver that had the symbol for friend on it, and I bought it for her. She was very touched with the gift. She said that it would always have special meaning for her that a friend thought her special enough to give her this special gift. It was a special moment for both of us.
