California!

"They're on a cross-country adventure to the world's greatest video championship. It's more than a game...it's the chance of a lifetime."

Well, we passed this prehistoric forest the other day and the only thing I could think of was the reoccurring line from 1989's feature film The Wizard, "California"!!!


The Wizard not only acted as the premiere of Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. 3 video game, but also featured such amazing Nintendo gear like the coveted Power Glove.

They just don't make movies like that anymore. And if you are wondering "where are they now," I am here to help. Our own Spiderman, Tobey Maguire makes a mulleted cameo in one of the final scenes. Fred Savage moved on to star in Austin Powers as "the mole." And Jimmy Woods, yes, the Wizard himself, now looks like this:

WELCOME???

Nothing says "WELCOME to my home" like a carved tree stump with very scary eyes! You gotta love the country store at Cracker Barrel!

The past two weekends, I flew back to NYC to see Bryant. The first weekend was pretty busy. I got in late Friday night, worked Saturday, and flew out Sunday. Please meet my Northwest Airlines buddy... apparently he thought there was something wrong with the left philangee.

This past weekend was a little more enjoyable. Bryant finished his first year of law school on Thursday!!! He is officially a 2L! I arrived Thursday night and we had all day Friday to hang out. It was the raining, so we went to see "What Happens in Vegas." Then, I put him to work. "Hey, congrats on finishing your exams... now put of some curtains!" After a year in our new apartment, curtains went up this weekend. I put Bryant on a plane to Houston on Saturday and he started work this morning! So much for downtime.

I flew back to Detroit on Sunday (the airport is only an hour from Toledo). The Detroit Airport is undergoing a major renovation project--- and I was lucky enough to fly into the new terminal. I would like to know the mastermind behind this "tunnel 'o crazy" though. Please note that I did not get cell service in here and nobody else seemed bothered by the random music and laser light show. Total creeps!

The exam is over. That is three down and one to go! If anyone wants to talk about the commerce clause, equal protection, or principles of federalism, you know where to find me.

Happy Mama's Day!

I got some junk email today that said "Show your mom how much you love her through a free e-card." Well, nothing says "Mom, thank you for all of the sacrifices you made, the unconditional love you gave, and the unending support you provided like a FREE E-CARD. Not only is it an e-card--- suffer!--- it is a FREE e-card.

Kathy and Jan, we love you more than a free e-card. We love you a free blog entry!

You guys really are the best and we are blessed to have you as our mothers! We love you, Happy Mother's Day!
