Yikes, a week since my last post. Friday night played hockey with Steve and then went and saw “Domestic Disturbance”(1) with John Travolta and Vince Vaugn. Saturday was another great hockey. It was nice to not have to worry about organizing everything and just play my game. I love Nolan’s hockey but I love it even more when I am lining up at center to start the game and see Gould centering a line with Ratty and myself. Honestly I think we had 4 goals in our first shift.
Saturday I went and saw the “Royal Tenenbaums”(2) with Shan. It’s by the same guy who made “Rushmore”. I don’t think I will have time to review it but it is a bargain if you can catch it at the cheaps. Shannon seemed to like it so I really wanted her thoughts on “Rushmore”(3) so we rented it right after. She liked Tenenbaums better but I swear by Rushmore. You’ll either love or hate both.
Sunday I picked up Erin and Kayla(4) and we went to Omand’s Creek for some crazy sledding. I haven’t gone since the last time I took Erin and that may have been 2 years ago! It was awesome. I was proud of Erin. She is usually really hesitant with anything like this and although I had to carry her and the sled up the hill every time went down, she still tried really hard. It was nice to have Kayla there to set the tone for her too. Both of them came with me a couple times and we hit this one jump at the bottom and flew for what had to be 6 feet into a hard sideways tumble and they both just laughed it off. I was so impressed with both of them.
Sunday night was dinner at JD’s, yup the coach. Big thanks to JD and Diane for an amazing dinner and a handful of interesting conversations! Thanks for the great weekend.
(1) – I couldn’t remember this one so I watched the trailer. I think I don’t really need to watch the movie now. For multiple reasons.
(2) – This is the movie that got me hooked on Wes Anderson movies. Even though I had seen (and loved) Rushmore already it didn’t click until Tenenbaums that it was also one of his movies. I still like the style and feel of his movies but haven’t seen anything more recent. Moonrise Kingdom, The Phoenician Scheme, The Life Aquatic, and The Darjeeling Limited, are on my list to must watch.
(3) – Still my favourite so far.
(4) – Kayla is Erin’s cousin. I wonder what she is up to these days (24 years later).
