I'm falling behind


I haven't had time to post lately which probably upsets me more than you, but I thought I would check in to assure you I haven't just been kidnapped or anything. Just been working trying to do husband and dad stuff, which doesn't really include spending yet more time at the computer. But look at these boys. How can you blame me?

Anyway, since I still don't have time to do a real post, here's what's coming as soon as I have some more time:

I'm going to be moving my movie reviews to a new blog set up just for movie reviews and my thoughts on TV shows and the entertainment world in general. I will have a link from this page for your convenience. I will try to get new reviews on there as soon as possible which will no doubt include Memoirs of a Geisha which my lovely wife is anxious to see me admit I watched and enjoyed. I have been thinking about doing this for a while, but then fellow blogger and buddy Mike Lewis found a great blog template for me that put me over the edge. So, see you at the movies.

I'm on the brink of having a sandwich named after me wich will probably rank as one of the top accomplishments of my life and I feel the need to tell you all about it.

If you haven't been checking out my sports blog and you are into that kind of thing, you should check out coming soon new posts on the NBA draft, more on why I don't care about soccer, why the Giants should be buyers in the trade market and coming a little later FANTASY FOOTBALL. Can you feel the excitement? I know you can. There is a link on on this site.

Also, there will be posts on:

Snobby waiters
Lawyers behaving badly
Things you need to know when traveling on an airplane
more food rules
more reasons to like Green Lantern
Various random Biblical observations.

check back soon.

I like that Josh's blog has "Blog Post Previews" just like the movies.

Memoirs of a Geisha...brings back fun memories of our Japanese son, Tomo. I could ALWAYS get him going by saying that a Geisha is nothing more than a common prostitute. I knew this was incorrect, I just liked to torture him. I know you find it difficult to picture me tormenting someone just for run.
He would always try to argue, by saying a True Geisha was a skilled, highly trained woman who entertained men.
Thats exactly my point, I would say, they "ENTERTAINED MEN!"
You get the idea. The more he said, the bigger hole he dug himself into. Eventually whenever I would craftily turn the conversation to Geishas, he would just hold his head in his hands and shake his head. Good Times.

Tomo especilly enjoyed when I would read him parts of the novel. Or maybe it was I who enjoyed it. I forget.

I can't wait to hear more stories about Tomo. I love thinking that he knows most of what he knows about America from Tim and Peggy. It makes me proud and freightened all at once.

What's funny is that after seeing the movie, I don't think you can help but be struck by the fact that even with all the fans and dancing and funny guitars, etc. the geisha, for all their mystery and renown, were still basically prostitutes. They are, I believe, a rather sad statement about a certain segmant of Japanese culture. Tune in to my new blog www.stumptownmovies.blogspot.com in a day or two to hear more.

Isn't "lawyers behaving badly" redundant? Great looking boys. Looking forward to future posts.

John, I'm going to refuse to answer on the grounds that I might incriminate myself...or others.

Update on Dad

Quick post today. My Dad went to see his oncologist today after his latest CT scan. Because things looked good before, he has not had a scan in 3 months which seemed like a long time to be honest. Well, it is all good news. The doctor reports that there are no new spots or lesions and that the existing tumors are shrinking. My Dad will not have to increase his dosage of the drug he is taking which would bring with it new and unwelcomed side effects, so this was the best possible news. He will have another ct in 3 months. Over all, he continues to deal with some side effects from taking the drug, but they are relatively minor and in general, my Dad is doing quite well. Thank you to all who have been keeping him in your prayers. I know it has made a difference. God is good all the time.

Another Movie Review

I had big plans for another post today, but my actual job got in the way. Instead I posted a review for the movie I saw last night: "Thank You for Smoking." It's a good one and the full review is now posted on StumpTown Entertainment. Check it out. One other thought before I go. Tom Hanks' mullet in the Da Vinci Code got me thinking. If so many "rednecks" are wearing mullets these days, are they still rednecks? I mean doesn't that hair protect the back of the neck and keep it lilly white? I wonder what Descartes would say about this? Probably something like: "huh?"

Please Pray With Me.

Hello out there in blog land. I am sad to have to report today that we got some bad news regarding my father this week. If you read this blog or know my family, then you know that my Dad has been battling a rare form of aggressive cancer for several years. The first surgery removed a football sized tumor from his abdomen. In a matter of months the cancer returned, this time primarily in his liver. More surgery this past May killed the tumor in his liver. In early August of this year he had a CT which showed no new tumors or growth. The surgery was a success, he had finally recovered and then got a clean bill of health. It was a good month in that regard. Unfortunately, he began feeling discomfort in his liver a couple weeks ago. He went in for a CT this past Friday and then discovered this week what we had feared, but had not allowed ourselves to believe. The cancer had returned and was again in the form of tumors in the liver. In a month’s time one of the two new tumors was ...
