Gibson and Douglas at the Movies


You can check you my latest Movie Review for the movie Cars over on my movie site. This time I shared the work with my oldest son Gibson and his buddy Douglas. Thanks to them, I think it is the best review on the site.
Blogger wouldn't let me post the picture of them over there, for reasons unknown, but here are the two of them when Douglas came to spend the night while his baby sister pretended to be ready to be born.

Couldn't leave a comment on the entertaiment page for the movie cars but since you mention it on your blog page I will say this is the cutest review I've ever read. What cute and clever boys you interviewed. I saw the movie and I will agree with all you said. Great movie.

Mom, what happened on the entertainment site? Would it not let you? Is it password protected? Has anyone else had that issue?

Couldn't agree more about the boys obviously.

Thanks for the comment.

The entertainment blog rejected Stumptown Mom signing in because she forgot to use the name MACTASTIC.

The movie review was outstanding. Gibson and Douglas did such an amazing job. Any other movie review just looks bad next to theirs. Yes, Josh, even yours.
Sorry.
I am speaking the truth.

It just occured to me that perhaps Stumptown Mom is YOUR Mom, and not Tanya...but I can only say that after hearing about your childhood 4th of July Celebrations, your Mom could totally wear the name of Mactastic... or something of that nature.

Peggy,

Stumptown Mom, is indeed my Mom, or at least someone posing as my Mom, but in any event is not my mactastic wife. I can't really get behind giving my Mom a pimp name as I find the whole notion just too wierd, but she is definitely cool enough to pull it off.

Mike, thanks for the input. That is very strange. I will look into it. Thanks.

Clearly both of those boys are the product of a very talented gene pool! I think they have a bright future providing general critiquing services. Gibson, I know, practices his craft on a minute by minute basis; "this food is sub par you know I only accept peanut butter, I will only wear pants if they have snaps down the side like Steve Nash's, and Mommy - that shirt makes you look really old". He is very obviously a natural. Someone, please pay him for his opinions!

My kids loved Cars. I did not think it was the best but it was better than Brother Bear.

Mactastic Tanya Flava!
You are once again correct as usual, proving you alone are MACTASTIC. None other could support that name!

Josh: Is this kind of commentary you envisioned when you started your blog??
What happened? You can't blame it ALL on me.

Suede Peggy Flex, I think it has been Josh's lifelong dream that I should embrace my Mactastic-ness and finally be cool like you! I am sure he is thrilled for your blog commentary to be a conduit for that transformation!

Josh, the good news for you is that Summer School has started, and I AM working, so I will have far less free time to spend on pimp name generators and things of that nature.

Peggy, that is not good news. If I ever have time to post to my blog again, I simply have to demand you continue to comment. Your finding a pimp name for my wife is a gift I will cherrish forever.

The myth of fingerprints

Shorter post today. I thought it would be better if you knew up front. I teach a business law class to junior and senior business students at a couple local colleges. I do it because I enjoy it and one of the colleges is a local Christian school I like to support. One of the things I have come to enjoy is how predictable people are in groups. Get a group of people together and you will always have certain personality types and people playing certain rolls. It is like the various versions of the expression that goes something like, every group of people has at least one person that the rest of the group makes fun of when they are not there. If you can not identify that person in your particular group it is because that person is you. ....or so the saying goes. Anyway, every year I teach this class the "same" people sit in the same places in class, dress the same and make the same comments. They are actually different people, most of whom don't even know each other

So Much Going On

Man, I wish I had time to blog, because there is so much going on right now. I just started at a new firm. It is the firm where I started my career and I could not be happier to be back. To make it even better, after going through 16 different secretaries, I now am working with the best of the best and she decided to come with me to the new firm making a good situation that much better. In other news, my lovely wife and I just got back from the Zoe worship conference in beautiful Fresno, California. Here were some of the highlights in mostly chronological order: We left the kids with the grandparents and drove down. That’s right we drove the 12+ hours from Portland to Fresno. Apparently, we are just too stupid (and by “we” I mean “me”) to figure out that gas prices probably make flying cheaper, so then the only thing air travel has going for it is the time savings, convenience and lack of extra miles on the car. Good thinking by us. I love a road trip, but this was just dumb. That said

I Left My Heart.....in San Diego

Out of nowhere, I am going to San Diego this week. Every year my oldest and bestest friend (not including the artist formerly known as StumpTown's wife, of course) meet in San Francisco to see a couple Giants games. This year we were having trouble getting something scheduled and then out of nowhere he has some extra travel budget he has to spend or lose (he visits colleges as part of his job as a college counselor at a super posh prep school in LA), and needs to visit some of the schools in San Diego and wouldn't you know it, the Giants just happen to be in town this weekend. So, a quick frequent flyer free ticket later and I'm hitting the road, or air, or whatever. I will fly out tomorrow and come back Sunday. We should get to see a couple games and I'll be able to catch up with some other friends from college along the way. Should be great. So, I may not be able to post anything new here the rest of the week, though I am taking a laptop with me and have high ho
