Superman

They don't have heros like him anymore. This is a good one.

Superman by name, Superman by action. I have to admit, as a person I really liked Christopher Reeve. I also have to admit strongly that I so loved Patrick Dalzel Job. I am, I'm me, down to him. I shrine no one, but in me he shines. It would be cherlish of me not to add this to my favs, it's undoubtly so apt. Have a wonderful Sunday Mike....:)
