Yahoo is shutting down groups on 12/15/2020.  I quickly wrote this as a final gift to members of the Logan_Remy and XmenRendezvous yahoo groups.  I haven't written anything for years, and this wasn't beta'd or anything.  So, apologies if it's lacking ( Read more... )

Today, my spouse was telling me that our pre-teen child, who really hates PE, came up with a pretty smart way to get out of volleyball. He would stand next to one of the more athletic kids and then, when the ball headed towards him, the athletic kid would run over and hit it.

I know I'm a tad late saying this, given that the movie came out a little while ago.  But, Wonder Woman is an awesome movie!  She kicks a$$ and takes names!   When they first announced a year or two ago who they had selected to play the iconic super hero, I was irritated.  It was this little wisp of a thing and I was like 'Oh c'mon!!

Oh well, guess I'll try again next year :)

So tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US.  I'm lucky to have a gathering tomorrow as well as one on Friday.  But, I have to bring food to both.  For the one tomorrow, I'm taking 3 desserts.  Even though there are only 3, I have been cooking for four and a half hours tonight!  Oi!  I'm exhausted.  But, hopefully it will be delicious :)

I was talking with my 11 year old about possibly seeing a movie together this weekend, so we looked at the theater offerings together.  After debating back and forth over the very few 'kid-friendly' options available, my kid shocked me by turning and saying ( Read more... )

So, we went to see Star Wars The Force Awakens finally.  We'd been waiting for the crowds to thin out a little.  It was a good movie and I enjoyed it, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed.  I guess I expected more based on all the hype and money it's made.
