In Summary

All the news that’s fit to blog:

• This morning, on the drive in to work, Simon and I watched as my car rolled over to 190,000 miles. The last big rollover was 180,000 miles last July, so that means 10,000 miles in 9 months, for about 1,100 miles per month. We’re on track to roll over to 200,000 miles by January… sooner if we take any long driving trips this year!

• We watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on Friday. Not only was Jim Carrey tolerable as the leading man, he was downright stupendous! The movie had a similar pace to Lost in Translation and Russian Ark, both of which are also excellent and highly recommended.

• The $10 worth of munch money we had for use at the theater concession got us one regular size popcorn and one regular size drink, total of $7.75. You can’t get any change back from the gift certificates, and nothing else on the menu was less than $3, so it was a total rip-off. At least we didn’t spend any of our own money on it. Chunky’s is a much better deal all-around, but it’s just a little too far away, and the movie selection is fairly limited.

• This weekend whilst hanging out with the Lowes, we watched Radio and Open Range on video. Radio was a nice inspirational movie, while Open Range was a very slow western. We finished watching Radio, while we couldn’t bear to stay for most of Open Range. Supposedly there was a very good gunfight near the end, but we didn’t really give it a chance.

• The sunrise service at Cathedral of the Pines was good. Getting up at 4:45 a.m. was a bit of a drag, but the service was worth it. The singing was rousing and the scenery was spectacular. The clearing behind the altar afforded an excellent view of Mount Monadnock.

• Sunday afternoon Easter dinner at The 1761 Old Mill in Westminster was good. All you care to eat buffet. I stayed with the breakfasty-type foods… eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, home fries. Yum.

• I got to take a few nice photos this weekend… check them out.

• If you haven’t taken our survey already, please take 30 seconds and do so. The link is at the top left corner of most pages on our site, except for the photo gallery.
