The One With An Amazing Father's Day

 

 

 

 

Another Amazing Father's Day happened this year. On June 21, we did some incredible things and, for the third year in a row, I had my "best" Father's Day.

My day actually began one day earlier by watching the Bonanza episode, "The Legacy" about Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe trying to avenge what they thought was the death of their father. Of course, they realize in the end revenge was not what they were looking for...as was evidenced by the time they got home and saw Pa.  

We began by doing the tour of the house with different decorations and notes left for me. Always fun. We then followed up by getting some food from Nick and Andy's. Yum!!!

We then went into the Museum of Science. This year, several of the spots that were closed last year were open this year. Yay!!! We  got a chance to see the Music Across America movie at Imax and even got a chance to see the Lightning Exhibit, which is now open...and updated again.

 Following that, we went to Jimmy's for supper. I had my chicken parm....which I love there.

Then, we came home. has dessert and watched Silverado.

Truly a beautiful Father's Day!!! 

The One With Disclosure Day

 

 

Tonight, the four of us went off to see Disclosure Day, the latest movie by Steven Spielberg. It was an ambitious project and one that represents the fifth look at "aliens" through the lens of the great director.

Clearly, Spielberg has a fascination with the paranormal, as evidenced by the Indiana Jones movies and the fact he wrote Poltergeist. And, this is yet another quixotic look at the unknown.

Overall, it is a good movie. It is a bit stocky in spots - moving a little bit slow - but its methodical pace helps underlie the big mystery at the end of the movie...which really isn't that much of a mystery. The acting is solid, though enigmatic at times. But, in the end, it was an entertaining movie.  

The One With DHS Graduation

 

 

Today was graduation day at DHS. And, for Kiff, who is a junior, it was a memorable day. First, it marked the final time that he would perform with band at graduation. And, because he is top twenty in his class, he was asked to be an usher for the graduation.

As a result, Emmie and I decided to attend the graduation. It was a fantastic ceremony. Not only was it fun to see Kiff perform in it for the last time, it was great to cheer on the two dozen or so kids we know who were moving onto college. 

 Overall, the speeches were good. They did the standard have the four officers talk about the different stages of school - elementary, middle, high school and looking toward the future. And, the three student speeches were interesting as well. 

It is hard to believe we have one more of these to go and then we are graduating ourselves as DHS parents.
