Hand Picked

  • Invictus
    I loved this movie for its message about hope, forgiveness and change. Plus Clint Eastwood directed. And, ok, fine…Matt Damon was in it.
  • The Help
    Read this book on vacation. Really powerful story. Skeeter rocks.

Vacation Observations: Part I

April 2nd, 2008

Elements of a Great Vacation Then:

Sun, a swim-up bar and a resort with a good nightclub.

Elements of a Great Vacation Now:

A tantrum-free plane ride, 64 degrees and partly cloudy, the kids doing laps around my parents yard on a mini John Deere tractor riding toy until the sun sets, a good book and a good beer.
