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.

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 ...
