like a halo in reverse

I have now been on break for over a week and I've still been too busy to post anything till now. Okay, either too busy or too lazy. Part of the reason I've been busy is that Jason Burkee dropped in to stay with us for a few days while he's back in the States. It was great to catch up with him and hear about how things are going in the Army. Thankfully he's out of Iraq and shouldn't have to go back again if everything goes the way it should. Now he's back in Germany for the 14 months he has left. The four or five days he was here went by too fast, but I'm really glad he gave up some time with his family in Denver to visit us.

While he was here we saw Stranger Than Fiction, which was fantastic. It's the best kind of comedy; it's funny, sincere, and has a deeper message at the same time. Will Farrell really showed how great of an actor he can be when given a part that demands it. He's a perfect blend of funny and emotional, and it was a refreshing change from his usual roles in movies like Talladega Nights or Anchorman.
