I scored 98% with an average error of two miles with a time of 380 seconds. Not bad for someone who can’t find Main Street in Johnstown, eh?
chiefs game
Brian, Jacob, and I went to a Chiefs game with the Shaffer clan this afternoon. The Chiefs beat the Reading Royals 4-1, so that was good. Not enough fights in today’s game, though. There were a few minor skirmishes, but no blood was shed.
It was a nice way to spend the afternoon. And, as a bonus, Brian doesn’t have practice this evening.
The three kids ate and ate and ate during the game. It is such a pleasure to take Jake somewhere and he is completely entertained the whole time (thanks to Johnny and Katie for that). I guess that’s why people have multiple kids–so that their first kid has someone to play with. Not a good enough argument for me, but I won’t object to using other people’s children to entertain my child.
mystic river
Last evening was another margarita and a movie night at the Law household. Mystic River was the flick. This has to be the saddest and most depressing movie ever. But, the acting was so good that it made it worth watching. I just can’t say enough about Sean Penn–he just might be the greatest actor ever. I was blabbering on so much about Naomi Watts in my 21 Grams review that I failed to mention what a good job he did in that movie as well.
And if Sean Penn is the greatest actor, Tim Robbins has to fall in the top 10. His performance in this movie was superb. I’ve always thought he was good, but this movie confirmed my suspicions.
Here is a brief review from the Filck Filosopher.
say it ain’t so
Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt have split. Who can believe it? Well, I guess we can all believe it. I mean, what Hollywood marriage ever lasts long? Well, besides that guy who ate all of the eggs in Cool Hand Luke and his wife (uhh, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward).
At least we don’t have to wonder if they left each other for someone better looking–they are both so purty.
Still, I was pulling for them. I pretty much pull for anyone who gets married–even if I don’t have to buy them a gift. But, I just kept thinking that this would never last, so I guess today’s announcement isn’t all that surprising.
happy birthday, ed
We spent a pleasurable evening at Brian’s parent’s house, observing his dad’s birthday (which is on the 10th). Of course, I define pleasurable as any evening where I get to consume a bunch of citrus-flavored vodka. Yum.
Our niece, Erika, was there. We were hoping Jake would be enticed by that fact and ask to stay the night. Not that we have anything going on tomorrow, but to sleep in would be a nice change of pace (Erika was disappointed, too). Of course, that didn’t work out. He just better not complain about not having anyone to play with tomorrow morning! At any rate, he’ll be staying there in a few weeks, so they’ll be able to hang out then.
Incidentally, today is also Lizzy’s observed birthday. We adopted her from the Humane Society of Cambria County on September 7, 2002 and she was approximately eight months old at the time, so we’ve declared January 7 as her birthdate.
And today is also the Russian Jesus’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Russian Jesus.
And tomorrow is Elvis’s birthday. Happy Birthday, dead Elvis.
