Twelve Hours to Remember
I haven’t talked about seeing The Passion of the Christ here yet, mainly because I’m lazy, but also because I was trying to sort out what I was feeling after seeing this film. I’m still not sure what I’m feeling. This movie troubled me, and I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. Yes, it’s…

An Addition to the Family
I would like to congratulate my little cousin Danny and his wife Denise on the birth of their son, Jay. Jay was born February 20th in Puerto Rico. Danny and I are the youngest grandchildren and we always thought of ourselves as special and the babies of the family. My grandmother Julia now has 9…

Aslan Cometh
I just read some great news concerning Narnia. I enjoyed the series of books written by C.S. Lewis immensely as a child, and they are finally coming to the big screen. Here’s hoping they do at least half as good a job as Peter Jackson did with The Lord of the Rings.

Clean Sweep
11 for 11. Tied with Ben Hur and Titanic. Wow. What an amazing display of respect and honor for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King at the Academy Awards last night. The movie was just showered with awards all night long, and deservedly so. It won in the expected catagories such…

Dead Presidents
So I forget to say what we did for the President’s Day holiday. Actually, it was only a holiday for me; Monica had to work. 🙁 On a side note, the official name is for the holiday is Washington’s Birthday, not President’s Day. If you don’t believe me, read this. We had plans to do…

Map Your Travels
Here’s something that I thought was just cool: a map of every state that I’ve visited. There’s alot in the Mid-West and West that I’ve yet to visit, but I’ve got most of the East Coast locked up pretty well (except for a few in New England). Would be nice to say that you’ve visited…

A Passion for the Passion
I watched the interview with Mel Gibson on Primetime last night, and I have a new found respect for the man. The “must-see” factor is very high for me on The Passion of the Christ, and you have to admire his devotion and determination to get this kind of movie made in Hollywood today. I’m…

And Then, There Were Flowers
Valentine’s Day is one of the days that I believe is dreaded by most men in this country. It is a day when they are expected to do something very romantic to prove to the women in their lives how much they are loved and appreciated. This holiday might have started as the holiday for…

63 years ago today…
…my Dad was born. You don’t often realize as you get older, that your parents are getting older as well. Part me still sees my dad as the guy teaching me to ride a bike in our backyard, pushing me along as I ride over gumball after gumball. I managed to finally ride that bike…

A Winter Observation
This morning we woke up to our entire neighborhood covered with ice….again. In order for me to be able to walk little jack, I had to salt the sidewalk as I went in order not to fall. I also had to start my car and leave it running for about 20 minutes in order to…
