Weekend update

• A slow and refreshing weekend here. Well, for me at least. The lovely and talented FP Gal shot a wedding yesterday, went garage saling and is rebuilding our automatic litter box. Sometimes it pays to be the decorative type.
• Watched the Kentucky Derby. It's called the most exciting three minutes in sport and that's with some justification. The FP Gal has called the winner correctly each of the last two years. This year she called it and then changed her mind. Each year we talk of actually putting money down on it in the future. Probably little danger of that. (My pick? Came in second. You want me to pick your horse, put the word 'cat' in the name.)
• I'm two reviews behind with the movie project (The Big Chill and The Dresser). Doing the 80's is very different than the 90's and in some ways more rewarding. I've hardly seen any of these movies and some I've never heard of. It's strange seeing these actors look so young. The 70's next year? FP Gal says we'll be too busy having a baby. And no, that's not an announcement.
• Major find at the grocery store this morning. We found...Smart Food. The most perfect white cheddar popcorn imaginable. Yum!
• Read two very good columns from Mark Steyn today. The first has to do with the Sudan and reliance on the U.N. to help out there. It argues that if one really really cares about whats going there, well:
  

If you think the case for intervention in Darfur depends on whether or not the Chinese guy raises his hand, sorry, you're not being serious.

• The second column has to do with the Moussaoui trial and what the trial says about America. Agreed with most of it, but the huge question of what alternative from a trial would be is unanswered.
• Watched some baseball this weekend too. Haven't said much about the White Sox this season. Most of it would boil down to 'they're playing really well'. And that's just not interesting commentary.
• Anything else? I won two of three games of Yahtzee last night. We're a pretty wild couple.
