Minor things of note

Okay, a couple bullet points.

Kari and I haven't been doing a whole lot with our first week off, and I'm finding it particularly difficult to make myself do any of the things that I promised myself I'd do this summer.

We did manage to get out yesterday to see Get Smart, which was thoroughly entertaining. Nothing mind-blowing, but a wonderful example of a popcorn flick summer action comedy... thing... that doesn't aspire to much greater than what it is. Steve Carell is so wonderful at doing his thing. And you know what his thing is.

Uh, what else? Totally make french toast with a little bit of Bailey's. Or a moderate amount of Bailey's. It really does work quite well.

Advice from my 98-year-old great-great-aunt (and it's best to imagine this in her thick German-Austrian accent: "Don't ever get 98."

I think that's about it. Stuff is going well! We miss everybody, we wish we had some people to hang out with. Come back!
