What I've been up to...

Well this past weekend I finished a book, MARLEY & ME by John Grogan.

If you have a dog (or ever had a dog or even wanted a dog), then this book is for you. It's a great story about John and how he had a wonderful dog named Marley. I won't lie...it is the entire life of the dog including his death. I was crying so hard at this point, I couldn't read the book...I would have to calm down enough to continue, only to end up sobbing a few sentences later. It took me a while to finish that chapter.

The only reason I was having such a difficult time, was because I kept thinking of Kaylee the entire time.

Speaking of Kaylee...she got spayed 2 weeks ago and is recovering nicely. She is lively as ever...I will put up some pics of her in her cone (to keep her from getting at the stitches) in the next couple of days...

I saw FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS and THE LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA on DVD at home. FLAGS was an okay movie...not Eastwood's greatest, but LETTERS was great. For being a movie from the Japanese perspective...I thought it was done superbly.

On other movie news...Letha and I are watching the Indiana Jones trilogy currently (she hasn't seen all of them). I also wanted to see all of them before the new movie coming out this summer. We watched RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK...still a great film over 20 years later. We just got TEMPLE OF DOOM in the mail, and we're going to watch that one in the next couple of days...

Speaking of movies and rentals...Letha and I are members of NetFlix. This service is awesome, I don't accumliate anything that takes up space (mind you, that I will still buy movies if it's something special). We got a subscription for Christmas (Thank you, McNear) and it's been great since we started watching DVDs at home more than going to the movies.
