Just saw the movie Norbit today, starring Eddie Murphy. Norbit himself reminds me of the characters Eddie Murphy played on Saturday Night Live back in the 80's.
The movie is based a a character (Norbit) who was orphaned as a baby and has grown to accept companionship from those who gave it to him, then later in life realizes this is not what he wants. It is not hilariously funny but it has it's funny moments.

Although rated PG-13 the movie has alot of cursing. Take this into consideration if taking younger children.

Colorado Teddy Bear Factory (26 hits)is located on Sound Ave., in Riverhead in the Baiting Hollow Commons. It is the first and original make your own bear store on Long Island.

We visited the Colorado Teddy Bear Factory (26 hits)with our local school. What a great time the children had. The owners of the shop make it pure fun for the kids from explaining the origination of the name Teddy Bear, to making the teddy bear, designing it and even a magic show. One of the children yelled out "This is the best place ever". All the children were involved and had a great time.

I highly reccommend visiting the Colorado Teddy Bear Factory (26 hits).

Heres a song from Long Island Native Pat Benetar, it brings back memories form the 80's. I had a friend who was crazy for Pat Benetar, so we listened to alot of music from her in those days. Over 20 years ago, my gosh how time flies.
