Elen, Sally and I saw “Prince Caspian,” and we all loved it. I’ll post a full report when we’re at home, tomorrow or Sunday. DP and the three oldest saw “Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Perfect Medicare Supplement,” or whatever it was. They said it was fun. Anoreth said Shia LaBoeuf (sp?) was cute.

Right now, it’s time to hit the beach. It’s going to 80 and mostly sunny today, with more storms predicted tomorrow, when we’ll be driving home and won’t care.

Talked to my pet-sitter last night: one of the bettas died. Probably one of Anoreth’s, since she has 4.

Good Morning! Sun is out and here to stay awhile.

Elen, Sally and I saw “Prince Caspian,” and we all loved it.

I took the whole family last weekend.

I didn't like that they deviated so much from Lewis' book; they introduced conflict between Peter and Caspian that never existed in the book, and while they followed Lewis' cue in portraying Peter's display of pride, they left out the appearance of Aslan where that gets dealt with. Even after Peter's plan to take Miraz' castle goes awry, his pride carries forward, unabated.

On balance, though, I thought the whole thing was very well done with great effects, fabulous costumes (All my kids want to dress like Narnian royalty), and mythic beasts come to life.

Also, thanks to the Narnia films, I've decided that for Christmas, I want a gryphon.
