Due date +3

Today was Brasfield-fest '08 in the Triad. We have Jon's mom and dad here along with C&A. The only person missing is Jude! We had a great walk this morning, despite the humidity. We had lunch with the family at Elizabeth's Pizza in Kernersville. Jon and I had the steak and cheese, which, if you add banana peppers, is hard to beat. We topped off the meal with "The Dark Knight" at the Grand. The movie is very dark and full of action without being over the top. Heath Ledger as the Joker is a new and different take on the role. The makeup, green hair, and purple suit are all still there but he wears them in a completely different way. One thing that Jon noticed is the lack of back story given to the Joker. Too much movie time is often given to explain why the bad guys are bad, and it is so much more powerful to have a villain who is bad because he was born that way.

Jon has had his money on the 20th as the Jude's birthday, so we'll see tomorrow.

Just so we don't forget: Jon and Chris decided to have a little league team called the Roaring Tornado ChickenSharks.
