Drive In

Corby, Kaitlin and I are headed to the drive-in tonight to see Kung Fu Panda. (The boys are going to the Warren to see The Happening). I'm looking forward to the drive-in. Haven't been in a couple of years. I'm dating myself here, but when I was a kid and lived in S. Wichita - on S. Main near Pawnee - there was the Pawnee Drive-In at the corner of Broadway and Pawnee, where Walmart sits now. We had great times at that drive-in - as well as getting to watch all the fireworks on the 4th of July. We'd have neighborhood get-togethers and have ice-cold watermelon while watching free fireworks! I don't know about the rest of you, but we barely know most of our neighbors now. Outside of our friends Paul & Tokeah, who live across the street, the rest of our neighbors avoid speaking to us, keep to themselves, and generally are NO FUN! What about the rest of you? Do you know all your neighbors? Are you friends with them? Maybe there is something wrong with me and Corby! Nah!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta be their fault. They're missing out on some major coolness here!

My current book: Married Lovers by Jackie Collins. Yes, I know she writes trashy sex novels, but hey, you have to read something fun every now and then! I'm about a third of the way through the book, and it's definitely a typical Jackie Collins book. I bought a dozen books at the book sale at work on Wednesday. I've also got 3 books that my niece won (and had sent to me) that I need to read before she comes in a few weeks. I checked out 2 books from the library today. Am I on a reading binge or what?

I'm also enjoying some new music - also picked up at the book sale. Hey, when you can get CD's for $1, and they are someone you know, what the heck! 4 of the 5 are new country CD's by Mark Chestnutt, Neal McCoy, Steve Azar (he's a hottie) and Lady Antebellum. I also picked up the latest CD by Loverboy. Yes, that's Loverboy - from the 80's. It's actually a pretty good CD. Kaleb picked up Montgomery Gentry's latest CD at Best Buy the other day, so I'm enjoying that one too! And my 2 latest buys from Amazon: Hope and Glory by Heart's Ann Wilson, and Songs of Mass Destruction by Annie Lennox (of the 80's Eurythmics) - both excellent!!!

GO CELTICS! They are ahead of the (mucho) despised L.A. Lakers 3-1 in the finals of the NBA Championship. My brother Mike is happy, but will be happier if - no WHEN! - they win it all!

And I'll end today's post with a quote: "Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born." -- Dr. Dale Turner

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
