“You left just when you were becoming interesting!”

Kristin's web page has interesting stuff ni it!

There’s a wonderful line in an Indiana Jones movie were “Dad” (Sean Connery) tells “son” (Harrison Ford), “you left just when you were becoming interesting!”

I think that is the way things can happen when your adult children start making their niche in the world. They develop into people that you really enjoy being around.

My daughter Kristin is a private person — and I respect that — but forgive me for updating her site   ( and she has contributed some to it)… it has been a task I have enjoyed. Check it out… our tribute to Kristin.

Midnight Showing Of Harry Potter! Excellent!

Midnight showing of Harry Potter

Well, the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix happened last night… actually, at 12:01 (midnight) this morning! It obviously was important to me as I never stay up late for anything. We’re now ten days or so in receiving Book 7 which portends Harry’s demise… but then, the stories have a true to life reality that impresses… sometimes evil wins, unless good is as ruthless.

It seems like America’s premier happened much later than in other parts of he world… which is fine… vestiges of the British Empire and all. Karen reports that the premier in South Africa was some time ago.

No matter, it was certainly Warner Brother’s finest interpretation of J.K. Rowling’s hugely convoluted book. I was sincerely impressed with how well the movie followed the book and kept some of the more meaningful aspects of the story together…

Worth the ticket!

UPDATE: Jenny Craig is Working … DOWN 76.6 lbs!

Dad dropped some more weight!

Well, in spite of my best efforts to submarine myself on moving Karen’s stuff to Tennessee… chomping down at the “Texan”, gulping down a “Bloomin’ Onion” at the Outback, and striding out on a “Cajun Ribeye” at the Marketplace in Arkansas… I still lost about 4 lbs!

Thank you Jenny Craig!

So, all total I have lost 76.6 lbs. since December… very cool!

Have you Fangangoed Harry Potter, yet?

Harry Potter is MINE!!!

This may not mean anything … except to us kids, but I am very pleased to have “FANDANGOED” a couple of tickets to the New  “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”  coming out MIDNIGHT July 10th, 2007!

I know this is a work night for many folks… but it should be wonderful if it stays true to the book. I am rather curious why the last of  “Joe’s” books  is being released AFTER the movie. Hopefully, this is not an ominous sign. I have the new books ordered,too!

Looks like fun!

Karen’s  “dinner theater”  activity looks like fun too!
