I'm coming back soon I promise

But until I do here's a couple things:

1. I have a new job. More on that in a future blog. I'm still going to be a lawyer in Portland dedicated to keeping America safe for large corporations, but I'll be doing it for a different employer.

2. Here's the kind of thing my roomate Alan and I would have done had Youtube been around when we were in college. http://www.costaricanproperty.net/ball.html

3. Reviews to come, but....

Do See - I Am Legend, Bee Movie, The Golden Compass (yes even if you love God), Marie Antoinette (DVD), Hollywoodland (DVD), Charlie Wilson's War.

Do NOT See - Alvin and the Chipmunks, National Treasure 2, Walk Hard or National Treasure 2.

Can't wait to see - There Will Be Blood - Title scares me, but not as much as DD Lewis in the preview. This is a must see.

4. I hope to see some of you in Fresno at the Zoe Worship conference. If you read this (or did when I actually posted) and we haven't met, I would love to put a face to a blog handle.

More later.

I was getting concerned about you. Looking forward to hearing about the new job. In the meantime, I can't believe I just spent almost three minutes watching a guy throw ping pong balls into a cup.

We saw NT2 and enjoyed it ... what's wrong with you???

Bro - skip Fresno and head down to Malibu for the Bible Lectures. Actually don't skip Fresno Zoe, do both. We're trying to make plans to head out to "Jerry's Place" for the Lectures.

Good to see you back and congrats on the new job. I'll have to wait until I get home to watch the video.

What's up with NT2? I have heard opinions from it's better than NT1 to yours. Are you going to see the "Great Debaters ?"

I'm curious if Greg and Cecil will no be banned from your blog for daring to disagree with your movie reviews.

Greg, But admit it, it was an enjoyable 3 minutes. As for your question to me, that's not really quick discussion. Let's just say "experts disagree" on the answer. As for NT2, see my latest post.

Cecil, Pepperdine is 50/50 which is actually pretty good. I'm working on it. Saying NT2 is better than NT1 is kind of like saying a rash on your face is better than a rash covering your whole body if you know what I mean. I didn't like either, so 2 may be better I suppose. Tough for me to say. I am definitely going to see The Great Debaters. We're big fans of Mr. Washington around here. Not sure if I'll see that one in the theater as my mactastic wife will want to see it and we don't get to the theater very often, but we will definitely see it. If you do, I'd be interested in your take

Randy, once everyone agrees with me, I will no longer need to use this space to educate and enlighten. Until then, all those yet to see the light are welcome.

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
