Watched a bunch of movies this weekend.
My All-American. Ever hear of Texas DB Freddie Steinmark? Tough, small, scrappy, helped lead the Longhorns to the national championship in 1970. After beating Arkansas in the season finale, Steinmark was found to have bone cancer. His leg was amputated just days later, but he was on the sidelines when Texas played in the Cotton Bowl. He passed away 6 months later. A real tear jerker.
Ghostbusters 2, starring the original cast. Can't remember if I had seen it before.
Unplugging, with Eva Longoria. A couple goes off to the wilderness for a weekend, with unexpected results.mLea Thompson guest stars as a crazed pickup-drivin gun totin country woman.
Jumanji: The Next Level. Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart Danny Glover Danny DeVito. As good as its Jungle predecessor.
The Big Year, with birdwatchers Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, Jack Black, and Rashida Jones. You don't realize there's a nice moral to the story until you're at the end.
Which Brings Me to You, a romcom filmed on the Jersey shore, with the NYC skyline in the distance.
Love, Divided – about next door neighbors separated by only a wall. They can hear each other, so they start talking.
Anyone But You, a romcom set in Australia. Nice scenery.
Monday night I watched The Book Club: The Next Chapter, with Diane Keaton, Mary Steenburgen, Candice Bergen, Jane Fonda, Craig T Nelson, and Andy Garcia.
Movies releasing this week on Netflix: A Man in Full (Jeff Daniels), John Mulvaney Presents Everybody's in LA, and Jerry Seinfeld's Unfrosted, the PopTart Story (May 3).
Those reward things are tough. I have a bunch of focus group rewards that I need to cash in. Need to apply them to our Amazon account, where C is always buying things. But if she knows there are rewards, she would just buy extra. When I recently bought a pair of Cole Haans to wear to church, I was able to pay for them with the proceeds from selling bobbleheads. Heck signing up for the Peachtree Road Race is an ordeal. Lots of questions and blanks to fill in. Every other question is do you want to buy this extra t-shirt or that extra reward, etc etc etc.
I am surprised I haven't fallen yet, or had a car crash. Almost fell this afternoon while walking Winnie. My other friend Reid's longtime pet dog passed away this weekend. Always so sad to lose a pet.
Ceil flew pack from Paris to Washington yesterday. Arrived back in Atlanta at noon today.
Some ranked the Falcons draft as the worst in football. Committed to two high priced QBs. Second pick a Clemson defender too unpolished to be picked so high. Picked a RB after drafting a stud RB Robinson in the first round last year. Needed to get as many quality defenders an O linemen as possible.
