Happy Birthday, Steve! (and he's about as excited)



We'll be doing dinner from Jake's tomorrow. Tonight I think it will just be a quiet evening at home: TV, cube steak and hashbrowns.

Walking the dogs this morning, there was a deer on one of the lawns on our street. It was pretty cool. It saw us (the boys were quivering with "what the hell is that?') and it turned around and ran the other direction toward the fields.

Moby is working today. It was the battery needing to be super charged. I'm glad it wasn't anything super expensive.

30 Day Reading challenge
Day 20 - Book that makes you laugh out loud
Crikey, they don't make this easy. Do I read funny books? No, not really -- I read crime fiction (you know, murder and such) and nonfiction to learn stuff. Ok, as a compromise, I find the books of Jasper Fforde (Thursday Next) humorous. Now go away.

Speaking of humor, I watched a movie last night (I know, I had best intentions of being more productive than that but I did mop the kitchen floor). It is very British in humor and structure called Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. It had Emily Blunt and Ewan McGregor and Kristin Scott Thomas. Here's a description: "A visionary sheik believes his passion for the peaceful pastime of salmon fishing can enrich the lives of his people, and he dreams of bringing the sport to the not so fish-friendly desert. Willing to spare no expense, he instructs his representative to turn the dream into reality, an extraordinary feat that will require the involvement of Britain's leading fisheries expert who happens to think the project both absurd and unachievable. That is, until the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary latches on to it as a 'good will' story. Now, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible." It was enjoyable.

Have a beautiful day.

Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
