Winter is finally over here in Rochester. We had some moments where I thought it might snow on Saturday. Fishing season opened with snow flurries on the lakes.
The Walk-a-thon was great on Saturday morning, despite the 41 degree temperature and the drizzle (fo' shizzle) for the entire walk. The coordinator estimated that there were over 100 walkers despite the weather. It was a very nice walk around Lake Herriot which turned out to be around 3 miles. I met a guy who was walking in honor of his wife and 3 kids. His wife is one of the few that actually developed preeclampsia twice for two different pregnancies. I was honored to wear my shirt with Shelly's picture on it and remember her for the morning.
Shelly's daughter, Hailey, also participated in the Davenport walk. Here's a picture with "Happy" (From Happy Joe's Pizza... Kahn's favorite) from this weekend:
I was able to get my day lilies planted yesterday. They're still pretty early but once my roses are in the ground, I can take some photos to share. I do have two bins full of dirt (the recycling bins) that weigh more than you think two bins full of dirt would weigh. So still trying to figure out how to get rid of that but these are minor details.
The Da Vinci Code opens this week and I probably won't make it to it this weekend. But very soon. I despise going to movies in the theatres, but I can make an exception for this one. I am one of those smart asses that can't keep his mouth shut during movies so the list of people that won't go to movies with me anymore continues to grow (Eddie, I think you're first on that list). So out of courtesy of others that spent $40 to get into the theatre, I refrain from making an appearance. This movie should be good and hopefully as enjoyable as the book. For those that are reading about all the "controversy" over the film.... remember that it's fiction. I read a lot of fiction books that I enjoy, but don't necessarily believe when I read. The people that are going to have issues with the movie are the same ones that can't distinguish between reality and fiction. I can enjoy a book about Aliens by Stephen King without thinking that they really are coming every 30 years to eat my children!
Hockey is starting to get exciting with the final 5 left. Hopefully my future 2 weeks entails lots of playoff hockey watching! I suggest you do the same!
Song of the Day - I broke out the Beastie Boys on Friday and this weekend. Hello Nasty is still my favorite album start to finish, but some of their better songs are on their other albums. They are one of the few bands left on my "to see live" list. They and Pearl Jam. I had Pearl Jam tickets but they shipped me out to Poughkeepsie instead for work so I had to give up my tickets. I was pissed.
Video of the Day - The Terminator was on this weekend. I forgot how uninspiring the first one was when compared to T2. Arnold has maybe 2 lines in the entire movie which fully qualifies him for governor of California. The 80s hairdos are my favorite part.
Webpage of the Day - Now is the time with Season Finales, and with Malcom in the Middle, the Series Finales. This is a list of the top 10 finales per one man's opinion. I did watch the finale to My Name Is Earl which I enjoyed. Gave more in depth look at how he came across the money and had some good things to say about the ever enjoyable concept of Karma.
HAVE A GREAT MONDAY!!!
