So, I obviously didn’t post new photos or year end/new year musings. I’ll get to it.
We spent the last two days filling 16 lawn and leaf bags and a trash can with twigs/small branches and leaves from our front yard. It was amazing weather here for the last few days. We nearly hit 80. We had the windows open throughout the house for a nice mid-winter airing out. A cold front came through yesterday afternoon as I was finishing the yard work and we’re back down to a more typical 40.
We spent New Year’s Eve at home after having an early dinner at Central Market with Ethan and Jessica and their two girls. LaLa fell asleep on the way home, so we just flipped around the TV and settled on After the Thin Man. I’ve heard good things about this series over the years, but never got around to watching any. The Wife and I both give it the big thumbs up. I think she’d seen that one before. The remaining installments definitely go on the Vulcan rental list. Speaking of Vulcan, we rented
- Mighty Wind (Good, but not as good as Best in Show or Waiting for Guffman.)
- Seabiscuit (I enjoyed it more that I thought I would.)
- Whale Rider (Overhyped, but a good performance by Keisha Castle-Hughes.)
- Stevie (Mediocre. The reviewer on IMDB echoes my sentiments pretty well.)
last week. I also DVR’ed a bunch of Twilight Zone episodes from SciFi channels New Year’s Day marathon. Finally, we went to Ethan’s parents house in Westlake Hills on New Year’s Day for a little get-together. I got to see some former co-workers from both Furnituremediashow and MillwardBrownQuest. We saw a doe on the way back which caused The Boy to ask whether or not it was real. Strange.
