Lazy Saturday

So, today was a complete wash-out. We slept late and haven't really done anything all day. The grass needs mowing, but it's still kinda hot to deal with it.

It's been a busy week. Last night, Jay had a scrimmage against a team from Columbia. They won (I think), but nobody was really keeping score. Our team looked pretty good. Jay was doing a good job as a lineman. I have to admit being somewhat surprised. Last year, he wasn't all that great at blocking when he played wide receiver. He's much improved. Their first real game is next Saturday.

Work was busy all week. And, we had things to do in the evening, so we didn't get to do much this week. I took the kids up to the school on Thursday to meet their teachers and things like that. They were both nervous and didn't talk much. The kids, not the teachers. The teachers seem nice.

Ummm, movies. In the past week, we've watched Stop-Loss and Be Kind Rewind. Both had interesting parts, but weren't all that great overall. It looks like we won't be seeing the Clone Wars in theaters. Nothing I've read has made me want to go see it and Jay seems to have forgotten about it.

So, as I mentioned last time. We went out for Lacey's birthday last weekend. It was a pretty good time. The hotel was neat, with a very different decorating motif. We went to the Palace of Wonders and saw the Gilded Lilly Burlesque troop. These ladies are from Baltimore. I thought they were very good. We've seen groups from both New York and Philadelphia, and I thought our local girls were better than both. They had very creative routines, most of them seemed to have actual dance training, and were quite sexy. I highly recommend seeing them whenever they perform. It's worth it just to see Sable Sin Cyr.

Odds and Ends

Lacey and I watched The Bank Job over the weekend. It was by no means perfect, but it was entertaining. I think the London in the 70's setting gives it a good feel.

Jay has his first football scrimmage tomorrow against Bowie. Go Stars!!

Star Wars - The Clone Wars comes out today. Apparently, it sucks. Of course, now I have to decide if I should listen to the reviewers and see it and make up my own mind.

We're going out for Lacey's 30th birthday this weekend. Here's the agenda: See the Gilded Lilly Burlesque troop at The Palace of Wonders in DC. Get down with our bad selves at the Black Cat. Then retire to our room at this cool hotel. Hopefully, Lacey won't throw up this time.
