A coupla weeks ago, the Mrs. and I took the kids to the beach for the very first time in their lives. It was a little overcast and the wind finally drove us out, but a good time was had by all!

Ken checks out the jackass with the camera while Luke chows down on Mommy’s hand.

I keep forgetting that I have this here blog thingy (it’s been that kind of year).
My office mates and I saw 300 on opening day. I thought it was overly-stylized, overly-preachy, and it hit many of the same beats too many times. That being said, I did have a good ol’ testosterone-y time with it.

I also finally got around to seeing the second Pirates of the Caribbean this past weekend (my kids were busy getting born when it came out in theatres). I thought the action had been choreographed to within an inch of its life (revolving around characters that I didn’t care about), but the flick still had a certain undeniable charm. Would I see part three? Grudgingly, yes.
