Well, I guess I haven’t really been that far away but it sometimes seems that way. I’ve done nothing as energetic as pulling carpet and painting. I haven’t tried out for any musicals (never will). I’ve just been dealing with daughters. Daughter getting married, daughter in her senior year, just being a dad.
I did take some time off to be with friends. A little help here (have truck will haul part 3 😉 ), a little help there (moral support during tryouts), and that was that.
I really didn’t have much to say or blog about. Except for two movies I was able to see. I may do some full write-ups later. Full of spoiler alerts.
First bridal shower for 3rd daughter seemed to go off without a hitch. I dropped off some food, and the youngest daughter, and then made my self scarce for a few hours. I was going to spend some time with my son-in-law, but since he had to work, I spent the afternoon with my father-in-law. S’s parents are good people, and they’ve kept me as part of their family. Another one of those ‘family we choose’ situations. Sometimes we get lucky.
At least it was good reasons you were away. You’ve got a fun filled year ahead!
Next weekend is “Angels & Demons” and I’m really looking forward to it. Maybe I’ll put my own review up…
Good to read from you again!
🙂
Welcome back… if only briefly with your schedule piling up. Looking forward to your reviews.
I’m staying far, far away from that Angels & Demons flick…
The Irrational Lies Behind Dan Brown’s ANGELS & DEMONS
I wish the writer of this article had come out a little less hard-lined, but he has some very good points. If a movie/book writer is so anti-Christian as this one and the writer of Golden Compass, than there is little point in handing any of my money to them.
Glad to see you back, J!
I have yet to read any of Mr. Brown’s novels nor see The Da Vinci Code as much of a fan as I am of Mr. Hanks’ work.
Yikes, sorry derek.
