Movie Reviews…

Midnight in Paris - like most Woody Allen movies, you will want to beat the shit out of every single character in this film. Neat story idea though.

Today is going to be a long one. I’ve got my usual full day of coding, followed by art class for Viv, Abbe is coming home to take Viv to Brownies, and I’ll be carting Bubs off to ice hockey practice later.

I’m 41 years old and bad dreams still bug me. I had one last night. Losing Abbe. So all day, I’m going to be thinking about it.

I hope everybody has people in their lives like BLP. BLP is a nickname for my friend Bill. BLP aren’t his initials, they actually stand for Brilliant Little Pumpkin, which came from his Aunt Dolly when she unknowingly sent an congratulatory group email to one of the projects Bill and I work on together. I believe the text was something along the lines of, “… so proud of my brilliant little pumpkin!”

And yes, the acronym has stuck.

BLP is one of those friends in my life that just has the uncanny ability to talk me off the ledge, no matter what is going on in my life. He always knows what I need to hear to help me overcome that big crisis currently causing the cumulonimbus clouds to gather in my noggin. BLP has been an incredibly big influence on this comeback.

BLP and I had lunch yesterday and worked on solving all the conundrums we’re running into. Two geeky guys working for ourselves (and each other most times too), trying to figure all this out, and do good for our families.

Further evidence that riches aren’t measured by bank accounts… I’m 41 today. This note was left on my office door yesterday by Viv. I am so grateful for EVERYONE in my life. It’s crazy how lucky and loved I am. Your goodness is not lost on me.

Movie Reviews…

50/50 – this movie was very, very good. It will make you cry, or so I’ve heard.
