National Treasure

Well, this Thanksgiving went well. Went up to OKC to visit the family and saw my sister and her new kid. I might post some pictures if I have time. I saw the movie "National Treasure" with my Aunt. On the all I'd say it was pretty good. I liked the plot and the direction was a lot like CSI if you ever watch that show. However, there were many levels of suspension of disbelief. I think the main character must've been a genius, no one can figure out that many clues in such a little amount of time. It takes over 200 years to figure out the first clue and then 24 hours to figure out all of the others. I was glad they didn't go into too much with the main characters relationship because they really didn't have that much chemistry. Also, the main character's father could've been the same age as the main character. They tried to make him look old by dying his hair white, but his skin complexion was that of a 30 year old (probably Botox or some other such thing). So if you go into the movie and throw out your brain then you'll enjoy it. Luckily I was prepared for it and it was pretty good. On Sunday I took my tree out the garage and played the classic "Christmas Vacation". I am now gearing up for this season they call "Christmas". Which, according to Charlie Brown, has been too commercialized, and that was 50 years ago.

My Thanksgiving was OK. We left the Colony around 7:30 PM on Wed night. We were on 121 and traffic was at a stand still. I thought it would take hours to get home. Luckily, it was only a wreck, and once we got past it, it was smooth sailing. We spent thanksgiving in Lubbock. It's still the windiest/dustiest place on earth. We did get a chance to see some of the guys old haunts. We ate cheese sticks and Spanky's, and even drove past Murdough dorm where Brian used to live. There's even a Hooters in Lubbock now. Saturday, we drove back to Wichita Falls, and stayed the night with my parents. We visited the local casino, but no one did much good there. We got back to the Colony at 1:30 on Sunday afternoon. I mowed the grass, mainly to pickup leaves, and washed the cars. Then we put up our dinky little Christmas tree.

As usual, you've misquoted. It goes like this.
