Old at Heart
Let's see. This weekend we kind of hung out. I was exhausted Friday so we just stayed at home and watched movies. Saturday afternoon I helped Peetey move a refigerator and then went to their local Italian eatery. After that I went to a baby shower with Holly for one of our friends. Let's just say this, I was one of two guys there out of 25. I will remember that for the next time I am invited to a baby shower. Saturday night we rented Star Trek 5 so we could listen to the Riff Track. Star Trek 5 is far and away the worst Star Trek movie ever made. I am glad the Riff Track made fun of it the whole time. Holly was laughing and so was I.
Then we watched a movie called "Young at Heart", a documentary about a senior group who sung rock songs acapella style. Apparently they tour Europe every year. The old folks are 70-92 and are up there on stage singing Coldplay. It was somewhat funny although a couple of them died during the movie. But it leads me to the conclusion that old people are quite capable of doing much more than they let on, even if they have physical disabilities. I think we are being had by most of them, that they somehow lose their memory all of the time and can't do anything physical. I think they just don't want to. But when you get to be old like that I can imagine you have experienced many seasons of life and you only do what you want to do.
Sunday we did the usual church, sunday school thing. We went to Lenny's. I came home and took a nap. Later on we watched the end of Star Wars episode 5 and the beginning of Episode 6. You know there is a scene when Luke kicks a bad guy in episode 6 and the guy falls back that you can clearly see he doesn't make contact. Anyways, back to real life. Didn't work out this weekend. Gotta keep going. I guess I am old at heart.
Exercise: none
Diet: none

Our weekend went well. We didn't do too much on Friday. On Saturday, Brian help us transport and carry a small freezer to our house. Saturday night we rented movies. We watched "Burn after reading" on Saturday night, and "The Bucket List" on Sunday night. Both were pretty good. Sunday was the usual.
