More personal stuff

It's been a busy week. What with the birthday stuff, Vikes on MNF and Thanksgiving the schedule has been very tight. Other highlights included seeing the newest Harry Potter movie on Wednesday. I liked it quite a bit. Maybe the best one yet. It's geared towards fans of the series. Virtually no time is spent reintroducing characters or previous story. The movie does a good job of making a long book into a watchable movie. The pace is very high in the beginning though it falls off about midway through. The FP Gal was somewhat bored and didn't like it as much as I did.
Thursday's events went very well. The food was wonderful and everyone had a good time. The evening was spent playing games. We played 'Apples to Apples', a game where you match nouns with concepts. This led to Lenin's Tomb being judged 'absurd' and a great name for a band, 'Frank Lloyd Wright and the Great Chicago Fire'. True fans will call them FLWGCG.
Friday was spent down in Austin. This started with a white knuckle drive through wind, snow and bulletproof (idiot) SUV drivers. We made it without incident. We spent time with two of my cousins and their 22 children. We showed them the wedding video and played card games. At night we went out for a drink and then back to Minneapolis.
The rest of the weekend was much calmer. Some movie watching. Some shoveling. Some bagel eating. Some football watching. I can only hope that everyone else had as nice a weekend!
