We're becoming the Waltons

Come this weekend, our household is going to expand again. One of my nephews will be moving in so that he can attend college here and he hopes that living with Uncle D will help him cut costs and get through school without a massive debtload. So that'll make myself, the two boys, Crazy G. and my ne

They're making a prequel!

"Garrett!" I said excitedly as I came out of the bathroom. "Did you hear? They're making a 'King Kong' movie prequel!" I was getting ready for work this morning and as I always do I was listening to a sports talk radio station. I heard on the station they were going to make a pr

What a night

The kids and I came as close to a drive-in movie last night as we ever have. We attended Fargo's first Movie in the Park night this summer and I think the experience was better than a drive-in movie ever could be. About once a month the park district hosts a movie in Island Park. They bri

Bubba doesn't dig the Kurosawa

One of Bubba's and my favorite activities when we get some one-on-one time is to watch movies together. Being an 11-year-old who possesses the maturity of a much-older teenager, my oldest son thinks most animated movies are pretty banal. But being the kind soul that he is, when it's the th
