Star Trek
We saw "Star Trek" today. Took Trinity and Jon’s parents and made a family outing of it. What a great movie to choose for it. All our friends had said it was amazing, but so few movies live up to the hype. This one did. This was one redo of a nostalgic icon that actually improved upon the orignal. I might have enjoyed other redo’s but I’ve never said it was an improvement until now. What I also loved was that all the main cast got good parts, good moments, great action. I won’t spoil it, but let’s say that… Read More

Swallows
I have to admit to letting my mood get away from me today. I let the whole pain and the bum leg just get to me. I was positively down in the dumps, nervous and unsettled, then I saw something flash by the office windows. I went to the windows and found that we had barn swallows. I’ve always loved swallows don’t know why. I have no happy childhood stories. In fact, I don’t remember ever seeing one for real until I was a teenager, and that was because a friend’s barn had a nest. But I’ve loved them since… Read More

Terminator
Saw the new Terminator movie last night. Jon and I are glad we saw it, but don’t feel a need to see it again. Charles said this movie was better than T3, which Jon and I never saw. It is a good movie to see on the big screen, lot’s of spectacular explosions and special effects. It’s also a very jumpy out movie, as in startling. Jon and I both jumped. Charles being a veteran of actual combat, and an ex-cop sat steady. He was probably amused at our jumping, and my little intacts of breath, but he was friend… Read More

Thriller, an oldie but a goodie
Trinity had her school program today. She had a solo and so Jon and I went. Couldn’t miss our girl on stage singing, "Science Genius Girl" by Freeze Pop. The band is entirely Jon’s doing. I’m not a big one for techno anything, but Jon and Trinity love it. But there was an interesting moment when the students who were announcing the various acts said, "And now an oldie but a goodie," and it was Michael Jackson’s "Thriller".
Jon sort of slumped in his seat. I patted him on the back, leaned in to whisper, "Seeing your youth fly… Read More

The Forgetful Artist
Sitting in the dark with just the glow of the computer screen and distant candle light. The toads are singing in the water garden outside my window. The new Tori Amos album, "Abnormally Attracted to Sin" is playing. Jon is over in the other part of the house trying to get the new website design up and running. Carri is doing her work from home tonight, because it got to be eight o’clock and her wife was at home, probably wondering where the heck she was, but Jon and Carri are determined to get the new web design up tonight.… Read More

Happy Memorial Day
Happy Memorial Day everyone! We celebrated by doing a four day weekend with friends. Jon and I had a great time. We visited, shared meals, and enjoyed a beautiful few days in their neck of the woods. Woodsy enough that spiders and granddaddy long legs were very plentiful. Nature is good but not everyone in our party wanted it crawling on them. But other than a few exciting arachnid moments it was a lovely trip. We might have over walked my bad ankle though, because I’ve managed to strain my calf musle. I’ll be seeing my chiropractor tomorrow, and we’ll… Read More

Novella is Done
I intended to blog last night after I finished the novella, but I finished at almost exactly 1:00 AM, so the blog post would have been today’s anyway. Besides, I was too tired to be coherent on anything longer than Twitter. I’ve gone from finding the 140 character restriction very limiting to actually enjoying the short little messages. But I digress, there will probably be a lot of that in this post, because I am achingly tired. So why didn’t I sleep in? Everyone that has an elementary age child raise your hand; you know the answer. No matter your… Read More
