Good Friday

I'm in my hometown for the weekend, which had a great start. I met my new friends Dave and Stewart for a chinese buffet dinner and Shrek 2, which is wonderfully hilarious. My biggest surprise was that Jennifer Saunders of Ab Fab, who voices the fairy godmother, has a beautiful singing voice. She belts out a great rendition of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero." In fact, the whole movie was full of music from the 1970's and 80's. I bought the soundtrack at midnight on the way to my brother's house. No spoilers, but I highly recommend the flick.

At my brother's house, I ran into my 28-year-old nephew Chris, who is in town from Georgia for my neice's high school graduation. Poor Chris got caught for his 3rd DUI last year and is without license or car. It's sad because Chris is a really great guy, but he deserved this for drinking and driving, and I'm hoping the experience will straighten things out for him. We talked for a long time about home buying, cell phones, and family last night. We're pretty close. I miss not having him around regularly.
