  • What We Did

    This morning, we went for a 5 mile walk about Burke Lake.  We saw Herons, including one up close and personal which was really cool, Cormorants, Wood Ducks, Mallards, and - joy of joys - a Yellow-Rumped Warbler which was a complete surprise, a new lifer for me, and very cool.

    Then we had lunch at Red, Hot, & Blue.  I had Jambalya - yummy.  The only downside was that the people sitting in the booth next to us were non-stop talkers and it was annoying, but then after we left we got to make fun of everything they were saying, so that turned out fun after all.

    (And let that be a lesson to all you talkers...we make fun of you behind your backs, since you give us so much ammunition.)

    This weekend's movies were: 
    Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (fell way short of what it tried to be),
    The Mist (oh man, those monsters were something else! - really good movie with a tragic ending) and
    Dan In Real Life (a wonderful romantic comedy - not sappy at all).

  • Dan in Real Life looked good to me too, I'm glad you liked it! 

    Sounds like a really good weekend. 

  • Sounds like a good weekend to me. Mine was spent in bed cause I'm sick! ugh!

  • da wife and two daughters watched Mr. Magorium on DVD yesterday afternoon.  they liked it. was it trying to be like "Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory?"  that
    was my early impression of it from what i saw in the previews awhile
    back.

    i personally had no interest in it whatsoever, so i just ran some errands, returned home, and continued doing the laundry.

  • I told you "The Mist" was good!!!!  Read the book the ending is better!! I enjoyed both though!
