Out of the Office

I spent most of the day on the road yesterday driving from Fort Worth to Memphis. Staying with the folks for a few days. I love to come up and help them out. I can do a little bit of work and it's greatly appreciated, which is in direct contrast to my regular working enviroment. It seems that I can spend days and hours and months working with little or no appreciation in my current postion, right now. I sound like a little whiny baby!
Today got up early and had a little breakfast. A couple of eggs and the little hammy things that Mom knows I like. Then off to the small engine repair shop to purchase a new belt for the lawn mower and a chainsaw. Yep, life will be good for the next couple of days. Then spent most of the morning cutting down low hanging branches and hauling limbs. At noon we stopped for a ham sandwich and a pickle, ah the simple life. No sushi today. But tommorrow evening we are supposed to meet Bear and Bootsie (life long friends of the family) for all you can eat catfish. I love being home!

Gotta go, I'm about to miss Jeopardy!

The Kingdom

Two movie reviews in two days, yeah I only work one day a week. Loved it!!!

3:10

Went last night to see 3:10 to Yuma with Brandon. Everything I heard, and everything I read, compared this remake to the new classic Unforgiven, which is one of my favorite westerns of all time-- Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Gene Hackman-- come on people! Others include Open Range, Tombstone, Pale Rider, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Young Guns, and True Grit.

This film really does live up to the hype; it featured outstanding performances by Crowe and Bale. Russell Crowe delivers as the likeable but vicious killer Ben Wade and Christian Bale plays Dan Evans, the man we all wish we could be. I really like Ben Foster in this, too; he plays the sadistic outlaw Charlie Price in 3:10 and was in Alpha Dog, Hostage and the season premier of My Name is Earl. He is an up and coming young actor who I think you'll hear more and more about in the next few years.

Two thumbs up for Yuma!!! Let me know what you think.

A Case of the Mondays

Does anyone else spend most of their Monday writing out a resignation letter?
