SPOILERS AHOY. Don’t read this unless you’ve seen the movie. It was good. It bordered on great. Let’s start with what I loved. Failed plans, as a theme. Act to act this movie let the characters fail over and over. It is refreshing to experience in a Star Wars movie, and it also shows what […]

If the kids actually said something during the picture, and I remember it, it’ll be in normal quotes, “like this.”) July 26th. We’re on our way down to beautiful […]
July 2nd, and Ian is apparently dressed in camouflage in case he stands in front of an American flag. See this image larger. This progression shows why nobody gives a six year old a license. Here he is smiling at me because he’s trying to hit me… See this image larger. Here he is smiling […]
July 1st, and the motorcade arrived, complete with secret service agents and officials. See this image larger. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the Excited State! *Hm hm hmm-hmmmmmm hm hm-hm hm hm-hm hmmmmmm-hmmmmmm* See this image larger. Yes, today is field trip day and we’ve arrived at Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Center! Here, pet […]
