Where to Eat Free with Kids
Here's a post to all you cheap parents out there. Well, to all you cheap parents who live in places with real restaurants. There's a Blog Post that lists all the places you can have your kids eat free, broken down alphabetically and by day of the week. Pretty much none of these work for me, but maybe they work for you. If so, enjoy.
Other than that, I have nothing much to say to you.

Review: UP
Just got back from the film, and I figured I'd post my review up in time for the weekend. Now, I love me some Pixar. I've found them to be an extremely reliable source of family entertainment. Finding Nemo, Cars, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Toy Story--their list goes on and on. Sooner or later, they've got to fall flat on their faces, or at least not quite meet the standard they've set for themselves.
This time, they've exceeded that standard. By a wide margin.
In fact, I'd have to say that UP i

TRC at Work
Brought my son in with me to work today, just for a half day (we're taking off early to go see Up, believe it or not. Me? Seeing a movie opening day again? Very nice.) It's fun to have him here with me. So far he's stamped, de-barcoded and de-callnumberified some discards, made a picture for a coworker, helped me fix a computer, and read a lot of books. Right now he's playing with my Optimus Prime Transformer that I keep here for just such occasions. A few hours after we'd been here, he said, "Y

The Curious Case of Forrest Gump
I just realized I never blogged my review for this movie, so here we go. Let's get one thing out of the way right off: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is not the feel good movie of the year. In fact, it's pretty darn depressing, when you get down to it. It felt a lot like Forrest Gump, except it wasn't as funny. One of those journey through life flicks, where you see a lot of how life has changed over the years, through the eyes of an interesting narrator. With that in mind, realize that thi

Review: The Great Hunt
The Great Hunt by Robert JordanMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
It had been a while since I read this one from cover to cover, and in my memory, it was never one of the Wheel of Time books to stand out in my mind, so I'd given it three stars. After reading it, I was surprised at how many of my favorite parts of the series it contained. I love the Lanfear pieces introduced here, and the climax is one I've always enjoyed. Better yet, there are so many pieces of the puzzle only hinted at here whic
A Post for My Maine Friends
Just wanted to let you know--Allegiant Air has a really good sale going right now. Bangor to Orlando direct, $88.70 round trip, including tax. (They charge extra for checked luggage, etc--FYI). A lot of dates available in June. So if you wanted to go down to Florida, but didn't want to pay a whole lot, now might be the time to go. Unless, of course, you wanted to go to Florida, didn't want to pay a whole lot, but already went in April. I paid $60 more than this price, and felt like I was getting

Massive Update
Well, I'm not so sure how long this actual update will be, but I've got plenty to fill you all in on. Yesterday was officially the Most Effective Day Off Ever, as I got the following done: painted trim in one room, helped DKC paint the entryway, wrote (my current effort is a Groundhog Day murder mystery, watched the Bluray Pinocchio (review below), painted Lightning McQueen on TRC's wall (my first foray into wall art--I'll post pictures once it's totally done), finished The Great Hunt, cleaned t

TRC Writes a Story
I have TRC dictate a journal to me about once a week (I try to, at least). He likes to throw in stories now and then to keep things interesting, and I thought I'd share today's with you:
Once upon a time, there was an old king who lived faaaaaaaaar in the distance, and he and his queen were searching for gold, but instead of gold, trash was everywhere. Everywhere they dug, trash was in their way, and they couldn't find gold. But one day, they went into a mine and got lost, but they found some gol
