I am enjoying some peace and quiet this Saturday night. The kids went up north with their grandparents on Wednesday and Matthew left this morning to join them. I had dinner with a friend and am just hanging out at home now. I stayed to be with my Daddy for Father's Day. He's 71 and I don't want to miss any opportunities to spend time with him. I have quite possibly the best dad EVER. He has always put my sister and I first and still wants to take care us, even as we approach middle age ourselves. He's just the best.
With the kids gone, Matthew and I did what child-free people do. No, not that. We went to a movie! I wanted to see Knocked Up, but we finally settled on Ocean's 13. Good movie. The best scenes are with Casey Affleck and Sean Caan at a Mexican plastics factory that makes casino dice. Who would have thought that Casey Affleck could steal a movie from George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Ricky Gervais, and so many other bigger names? A lot of it is that the script gave him the best scenes/lines, but he did a great job with them. Also: Brad Pitt's cell phone music? Funny. The fact that the other guys never mention his choice of ringtone? Priceless. The "Susan B. Anthony"? Hilarious. (If you haven't seen it, keep in mind that Susie B. was a well-known suffragette (think suffer). Knowing a little history would have helped my husband get that joke. He had no clue until I explained it after the movie. Apparently the women's suffrage movement in the U.S. received short shrift at his high school in England.)
Happy Father's Day to all the great blogger dads out there! You rock!
