Random Ramblings

Well some people like seeing movies on the big screen. Especially if they have a fairly small screen at home.

I've watched a few of those Fathom Events re-showings and they really cool on the big screen.  Saw The Princess Bride, as well as Galaxy Quest and even Meet Me In St Louis (which I'd never seen before).  I've seen at least two or three others as well (just can't remember them off the top of my head).  Right before the film and industry insider gives a 5-15 minute speech talking about some interesting trivia about the making of the film, then they show the original version.  Really cool stuff, I'd like to get back into catching one or two a year.

Currently in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for a well needed vacation. It’s been rainy but still awesome. We are going to Mackinac Island today. It’s accessible by ferry and there are no cars there! Only horse and buggy! Will be a lot of fun and a lot of things to explore.

Last Sunday we went to the big city. My son ran a marathon there. We went with him to support him. He's finished. We are so very proud of him.

That is amazing!  I hope it wasn't too cold for everyone waiting for him to finish.

That sounds like a lot of fun.  I hope you had a great time, let's see some pictures!

Whenever I see this album cover I hear That Smell by Lynyrd Skynyrd:

It seems my life is getting more complicated with 2 and a half days taking care of my little men.
It's not only taking care on the little men, I've to do things in the house too.
Most things I've to do alone.
See if I can find a painter who's  able to paint the house.

I’ll try and get some posted.

Well had to do the inevitable yesterday. Had to put down our 17 year old cat. Was tough but it was his time. We got him for our daughter when she was in kindergarten and now she’s in grad school. That’s a long time! He went peacefully as I was there with him. Tough on the whole family because after 17 years it’s a tough situation.

Sorry, man. I know firsthand how a cat can change your family dynamic. Prayers for you.

We had to do the same thing with our 19 1/2 year old cat 4 years ago.  I spent more time with her than I did most people.  I have never had such a hard time with the death of a pet, but Callie was my baby.

Now, I have 2 that are equally as spoiled and are my babies.  I seem to be the "cat whisperer" in our home.  LOL

This week was full with extreme weather.

On Monday evening heavy rain. (I had to go through it.)
On Tuesday a big thunderstorm
On Thursday a storm.

Speaking of climate change.

Some of you might have seen on my bookface page that I let Mrs Staybrite talk me into taking off several days last week and heading to the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area of Southern California to see KISS perform one last time.  It was a really good show, and a really good venue.  It was our second time seeing the band.  The first time was back in 1985 (it was her first concert ever).

This week have had some rough days for me.

Very sorry to hear this.  Praying for you sister.
