shining!

have you seen “shining”? it’s the feel-good movie of the year! a movie about a boy, looking for a dad!

(let me know if the link quits working; i’ll find another)

in other news, sometimes you can still surprise someone you’ve known for 11 years. a couple of weeks ago i picked up some oranges i’d bought, as we were unloading groceries, and started to juggle them in the kitchen. it shocked the hell out of doc. i mean, if you possess a skill such as juggling, even at a rudimentary level like mine, wouldn’t you think that at some point, in the 11 years you’ve known a person and in the eight or so that you’ve lived together, you would have already revealed that you possess said skill? apparently this was not the case. the good news is, even though i don’t seem to have actually juggled anything in the past 11 years, i was able to keep the oranges in the air for a good 30 seconds before i dropped one.
