I’m sure this was a good book, but I was rather distracted while reading it, so I can’t say for sure. But Neil Gaiman is an excellent author, so I’m probably right. I guess I’ll have to watch the series to find out.
My rating: 3/5
pack walk
The humane society started a weekly “pack walk” this month. They are on Saturday mornings at 9. The pack walk is an hour long walk with a group of people/dogs. I did my first one yesterday and it was pretty fun. It was kind of nice interacting with some people for a change (instead of just dogs). I’ve decided to commit to this twice a month (in addition to walking dogs weekly and fostering for a day monthly) so I’m one day short of volunteering twice a week! I guess I’ll have to figure out another activity to round things out.
it’s complicated
This was a comedy about a divorced couple who hooked up at their son’s graduation 10 years after their divorce. It was pretty predictable, but good for what it was. It had quite an all-star cast, which didn’t hurt–Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, John Krasinski, and more.
My rating: 3/5
the national reserve
There was a free concert at PNG Park in Johnstown last night, so Jake and I went there to catch a bit of the headliner, The National Reserve. Musically, they were pretty good, but they were kind of boring to watch. The place was pretty packed, though, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. We definitely want to encourage more events like this in town, so I’m glad we were able to support it.
Jake is all about music lately. He’s even formed a band with one of his friends and they’ve been writing music, so he’s really into checking out live bands right now. He has a bunch of concerts lined up for the summer, too.
he’s come to fix the sink
We had a couple of small plumbing projects that needed done (namely a new bathroom faucet and a hot water expansion tank that needed replaced). Since Brian does not enjoy or excel at plumbing, we decided to pay someone to do the tasks. We called our usual guy for smaller jobs (Christian’s Plumbing). He was in and out in about an hour so it was totally worth the money. And, now there are two less leaks in the house!
