A Movie for the Ages....

Once in every person's life, a movie comes along that defines that persons generation...

The Simpsons Movie is that movie for this generation...

I saw an interview with Matt Groening, and he said that the story evolves with Homer falling in love with a pig. How could it possibly be bad starting with this basic premise???

The movie was a non-stop roller coaster of gags, jokes, and one-liners all in the typical Simpsons style. The story was at the typical level of any good episode: barely plausible yet delightfully hilarious. And nearly every character you'd want makes an appearance in the film.

I absolutely recommend the movie to anyone who has enjoyed even a moment of the series' 19 seasons.

And if you go to it, make sure you sit there until all the credits have gone by....

Mmmmmm, BBBQ....

So today Michelle and I get to go to her staff BBQ at her boss's house. Supposedly there will be steak and lobster served for dinner. I've never had lobster, but I've heard good things. And of course, nothing beats a well-prepared steak.

The only problem is that the BBQ is in Arnprior and I have been given the world's worst map for directions. If I can only find an address on it, I should be able to use Google maps to get real directions.

Wish me luck...

***UPDATE***

We found the house (with minimal problems) and it was a great BBQ.

I had a half dozen Coronas, two bacon wrapped filet mignons, and four crab legs for dinner.

We played horseshoes in the afternoon (I've told Michelle that she needs a hardhat the next time she plays) and we would have spent some time in the pool if we had taken our bathing suits (it was raining when we left and was predicted to continue throughout the day but turned out nice and sunny).

All in all, a good day....

False advertising....

Today I have been looking around Ottawa for some new wheels and bearings for my rollerblades. They were very helpful down at the Sportmart, but did not have the size that I needed.

On my way home from there I stopped at a store called "Source for Sports". Now, my thinking is that a place that calls itself a source for sports would have equipment for many different sports on hand. Not this place. All they had was hockey equipment and baseball equipment. That's it. No football, no soccer, no cricket. Only hockey and baseball.

Some source....

All sorted out...

Ok, now I have posted links on the other 2 blogs and hope to not post to them again. Bookmark this one and you should be good....

Problem solved?

It seems like this is now working the way I want it to. More Blog posts to follow....

A test post to see if Blogger will finally associate this with the right account...
