Day 2563 - A Day At The Beach - 05.28.18

We spent Memorial Day at Zuma Beach.  We got there pretty early and hung out until about 2.  It was lovely.  When we left it was starting to get a little too crowded and a little too hot.  The morning was nice an peaceful.  It was also nice and overcast, which I loved.  This is my daughter in the morning when there was still a chill in the air.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2562 - Solo: A Star Wars Story Tickets - 05.27.18

Yesterday we saw Solo and my wife bought the tickets online.  That meant that when we went to go in they just scanned her phone and we didn't get hard copies of our tickets.  My daughter and I wanted hard copy tickets so we got these reprints.  My wife thought we were crazy, but my daughter and I are alike that way in that we like the keepsakes and we both knew we wanted to photograph the tickets.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2544 - Sleeper Out In The Cold - 05.09.18

My son must have had this book in his room.  I think I gave it to him to read years ago.  He recently was cleaning out his room and it showed up on my bookshelf.  I love Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips.  I have fallen out of the habit of reading their books and need to catch back up.  I loved the Sleeper series.  This is something I saw today.

I went a little crazy last weekend with the Blu-Ray purchases.  Jumanji I bought having not seen the movie.  I have heard great things and I read the script over a year ago for my previous job, so I was interested in it.  I still have to set some time aside to watch it with the family.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2540 - Modern English "After The Snow" - 05.05.18

"After The Snow" is the Modern English record with "I Melt With You" which is a favorite song of mine.  It is a great song on its own, but it's use in "Valley Girl" which is one of my favorite films puts it in a whole other category because of all of the emotional weight the movie brings to the song.  Can't help but think of Randy and Julie racing from the prom and heading out onto the 405 freeway into the night.  Such a great ending, with a perfect song.  This album is out because I recently had it at work to listen to, but now it is back home.  This is something I saw today.
