I am much less sore today than I was on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thank goodness because tomorrow should be a killer pushing upwards of 90 sit ups overall.
Yet another dog picture. Honestly I took some photos of some amazing spiderwebs that have popped up in my front yard recently due to the lack of rain. These little spiders just build a web around the blades of grass. Alas, you cannot really see the webs in the photos that I took so you will have to settle for another picture of Nina napping in the ugly chair. The kids like the way she buries her head between her paws. I wonder how she breathes in there.
- Grace Is Gone: Here is another movie I would not have grabbed but for my march through the library's movies alphabetically. This (I am guessing) is a low budget film but it does star John Cusack as a husband of a soldier away at war in Iraq. His wife (who is not in the movie save for a few phone messages and photos) dies during the war and struggling for a way to tell his two young daughters he decides instead to take them to Enchanted Gardens. This involves driving from Minnesota to Florida and along the way he struggles off and on with his task at hand. The oldest daughter senses something is amiss but ultimately does not find out until the end of the film when the father finally has the courage. It was slow gonig at first and I did not get the character but we stuck with it and we were glad that we did. If you like John Cusack then I think you will like the film. The 10 minute documentary on the real life family this was based on is a tear jerker as well. Only one nitpick though. Look at the below photo. Since this is low budget, I know that they could not head to Disneyland (or is it Disneyworld) in Florida but the sign for the amusement park lookes photoshopped. Maybe it's just me.
Tonight I met a lady at the church to go over the songs for Sunday's service. I am going to be the song leader this week and the son could not be more proud. He has all kinds of suggestions for songs. Typically the service planner (in this week's case, my wife) picks out the songs, song order and gathers the musicians. I got to have some input on the song choices and untimately we picked the ones that I knew pretty well without much thought of a theme or if they went together very well. I guess if we mess it up too bad, they won't ask us to do it again.
Well since I got home late from practice, the pack is already back in the bedroom waiting on me.
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
