Saw the pics on Facebook. You've got a good looking family jc. The kids must get it from their mother.
That's the truth. They also get their brains, kindness, sense of responsibility and sense of humor from their mom. From me? Let me think. I suppose the boy will lose most of his hair. Thanks Dad.

I just overheard some guys at work talking about movies and someone said "Mark Ruffalo was perfect for that part."
Weird.

Not exactly sure.
Just bide your time and wait for your departure. Phoenix sucks. :smile:


Basically truth my boxster. My SIL lives there so I've been there more than I care to.

1) golf I'd you like it. Reasonable in the middle of the day. Too hot for the old farts. (Remember it will be crawling with retirees until about April 1).

2) catch a rattlers game, fun arena football there.

3) spring training for a few teams there, take in a couple games, can catch a nap.

4) 4 wheeling in the desert, or dune buggy. Be careful about getting lost, remember the path you're taking.

5) was at the grand opening of Cooperstown, its a bar. Maybe it has changed though.

6) get kidnapped, highest rate in the US. Also, if car is stolen, it's going to Mexico, say goodbye.

7) Go to Grand Canyon, it's a little haul, but there isn't much more in Phoenix but than to get sunburnt n

If he has never seen the Grand Canyon then he should take the opportunity to do it if he can.

Work gets so frustrating. Change control gets more picky every day about how I word stuff. Even though the people that review the stuff have absolutely no clue what any of it means.

Plus I get a ticket with a problem that 2 people completely blew off when 2 minutes of research would have found the problem. Hint hint: The problem wasn't mine as usual.

GTO, Realized March, April, May are going to be really busy, have to miss the Feb. home games for work, decided to rearrange stuff and go to Baylor. Hope they win. In KC for the night drive the rest tomorrow.
Nice! Did not realize you would be driving all the way down. Have fun at the game! If Mrs. GTO was not working tonight, I would have made the trip down there myself.

Not that I'm complaining but what is the point of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition if they rarely wear actual swimsuits?

I love these two movies. Even though Escape from NY is in a much darker setting, neither movie takes itself very seriously.

Big Trouble in Little China is one of those movies that is just so much fun to watch.

John Carpenter has done a lot of good stuff
I think that's just it. His movies are solid, always fun to watch, and the dialogue is full of quotable one-liners. Do you guys remember when TNT used to have the Friday nights show with Adam Carolla "Movies for Guys Who Like Movies"? Basically every single one of his movies would end up on that show.

He's not going to be racking up Oscars, but he does make enjoyable movies for sure.
