Good night and sweet dreams, y’all!

[null and void]

Wonderful!

There wouldn’t be time for Elen to drive this evening, or I’d have said he couldn’t go out unless someone else came to get him. DP and I will have to hold a conference regarding Prioritizing the Car, and then present it to the drivers-and-trainee, or I’ll have them all griping at me constantly. Well, I probably will anyway, but it will be less stressful if I have a document at hand.

Have one divide out a set of three schedules and the other two get first and second pick on who gets which schedule!

These are very good principles. Would that everyone ascribe to them.

My son's comment on my presentation of the meta-rules was something about none of them involved actually getting where you were going.

Yep.

[LibreOuMort]

Now THAT’s a D O G!!!!

[Tax-chick]

That’s a good idea in theory, but it’s more complicated.

[null and void]

Aye, as are all good theories!

[Silentgypsy]

OK, how does he plan to get where he’s going? (And, naturally, where is he going?)

[null and void]

He goes wherever he goes.

He just (mostly) doesn’t hit anything, etc.

[Silentgypsy]

You are an evil genius! (Or, at least, a genius, at any rate!)

[null and void]

It’s a much easier algorithm with only two children...

[Silentgypsy]

Nothing related to children is easy or easier....

[Monkey Face]

Not, really. IF one has two children and one has a “rebellious spirit,” two can seem like 42 on long days, or longer weeks.

I’m surprised my mother survived our childhoods. (Seven of us, two of whom were old enough to be my parents when I was born.)

[null and void]

And THAT, my dear, is why I'm an only child!

[Monkey Face]

I had an only child, but I adopted a “rebellious spirit,” and then the fun began. ;o]

[fanfan]

Good thing all of life is a stage!

[HKMk23]

"That's like poetry."

This is even more like poetry. Something lighthearted for the UT gnag on a Friday. Enjoy!

[fanfan]

Good idea!

The Movie Reviews

"The Details" with Tobey Maguire, Elizabeth Banks, Laura Linney, Ray Liotta, Kerry
Washington, Dennis Haysbert, Christopher Curry, Gary Schwartz, José Gandara, Miles
Ellenwood

2011, Rated R for language, sex, drugs, and violence, 91 minutes

This is a very uncomfortable movie full of people who do stupid things that cause their
lives to go downhill. A doctor (Maguire), who cheats on his wife, gives a kidney to a
friend who would have died without it. But his motives are very questionable. He kills
his crazy neighbor's (Linney) cat by accident trying to exterminate raccoons that destroy
his newly-laid sod each night. Things go downhill from there. I hated it, but Bryan said
to give it a pity   ★★★


"Dragon (Wu Xia)" with Donnie Yen, Kara Hui, Wu Jiang, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Yu Kang,
Xiao Ran Li, Wei Tang, Kenji Tanigaki, Yu Wang, Hua Yan

2011, Rated R for violence, 116 minutes

A simple paper maker (Yen) in a small town in China in the early 20th Century sees his
boss and the shop getting robbed by two violent wanted criminals. His "simple" pretense
vanishes when he dispatches the two men with his bare hands. An investigator arrives
from the governor's office, and he works very hard to call Yen's self-defense murder. But
as Yen's past is explored, we find he is so much more than just a paper maker. Except
for the mayhem, this movie was beautifully presented, and the story is intriguing, full of
little twists and turns as Yen's story unfolds like a blooming rose. It was great and we
both agreed that it was   ★★★★
