Katy and I got home a little while ago from watching Hellboy. It was actually a very entertaining movie. I would have like to have seen the X-Files, but that show was in its heyday when Katy was very little. I doubt she even remembers it.

Then she asked me if I'd like to come home and ride bikes with her. That's probably the least arm-twisting that's ever been needed to get me to leave work early ( Read more... )

Last night, the girls and I watched The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy courtesy of Netflix. Mary hadn't seen it with us in the theater so this was her first viewing. We all enjoyed it and, as usual, enjoyed the extra features ( Read more... )
