Tough act to follow…

Schrag, I hate to post on top of your dad’s amazing essay, but I guess someone has to eventually do it. Why not me, the resident jerk? So, I just survived a five-day visit with my mom and sister in Boston. Here are the four of us out to dinner on Saturday night with Katrina-bo-bina. We had a good time together, even though I had to sleep on the floor the entire time (boo-hoo, poor me).

Looking forward to “The Return of the King.” In fact, I just mowed through the trilogy to brush up on the original story. I wonder how far into the “after party” Peter Jackson will take it… Speaking of after party’s, I still haven’t seen “Revolutions.” Are there any opinions out there?

Finally, does anyone else think that things are kind of strange these days? Strange weather, strange news, strange celebrity behavior… The whole Paris Hilton sex tape insanity, the white-gloved wonder molesting (?) little boys, tree-thieves… On CNN this morning, the coverage kept going between civil disobediance in Miami and news crews outside of a Santa Barbara police station. In California, there was nothign to see. In Miami, half of the “mob” was TV cameras and reporters. Some days, I think I liked the news better when it was things that have happened, not things that are happening (or not happening)…
