Never Needs Ironing

The movie "Iron Man" had enough hype to get me to go to the movie theater to see it. This film was so good, it has renewed my faith in Hollywood and I want to see a new movie every week. I may be jaded because I am an ex-comic book geek (okay, not so ex) but this film was awesome. Robert Downey Jr. has come made up for all his career mis-steps. And even if he was playing himself, as he has a lot of things in common with Tony Stark, he did a superb job. Bring on the sequel! I may even go see Edward Norton in "The Hulk" now. Too bad "Speed Racer" is getting such bad reviews. Oh well, there's always "Kung-Fu Pandas".

Bowling Banquet

Tonight was my bowling banquet at Prince Pizza on Route 1. The food sucked. The drinks sucked. The entertainment was worth it (two great comedians). No coffee. No dessert. I had a good time.

Mid May Already

Mid May already! I am not ready for summer this year. I am a season behind. Just when I think I will never get caught up, another season comes and goes.

Young At Heart

Everything went fine for my parents at my son's school where they attended a forum on grandparents for the Science class. It was like a show-and-tell session with student's grandparents on exhibit. There was some early confusion (as usual) as my parents were waiting for me one street and I was parked on another street, but we eventually met and I got them to the school library on time. The class asked the attending grandparents questions on how they stayed young. My mother said her exercise was going up and down 13 steps several times a day doing laundry. How anyone can have that much laundry is beyond me. They had a good time at the event and I know my son appreciated them coming in. I will definitely write a column on young and old contrasts for my newspaper column soon. I wish I attended the event and took some notes.

Time Stands Still

My son's science class asked the student's grandparents to come in Friday morning and share their secrets of staying young. My parents who are in their early 80's are happy to attend. When my son had to make name tags for his grand-parents he told the teacher he didn't know his nana's real name. He only knows her as Bunny. I told him that was fine, Nana has been bunny since she was nine years old. I can't wait to see how the day goes for all of them. I hope when I'm in my mid-eighties I'm visiting my grandchildren's school to share my tips on staying young.

Future Shock

My wife just got a Blackberry from her employer. Nothing will ever be the same. The future is now.

Candlepins For Cash

My bowling team is now in second place in the Monday night league. Next Monday is the championship and we might just go all the way! Yeehaw!
