Happy Monday!

This is Two Island Lake in Northern Minnesota-just north of Grand Marais. The first time I went there I was 11 or 12 years old. I went with my Dad, Sister, my Uncle Whitey, and my cousins Eric, Shawn and Nikki. (Nathan was only a baby so he didn't get to go.) It was an eventful trip. Nikki (who was maybe around 6 at the time?) caught the first fish on a pocket fisherman. As I recall, I did catch some fish, especially from shore at dusk.

I've been back there a few times since then, including earlier this month when home on vacation. I went with Aimee. It was kind of cold, but not horrible for this Floridian. It rained on Saturday afternoon and evening. We didn't catch any fish. Hardly even had bites! I might have had one bite the whole time. It was still fun. Besides, as everyone in my family will tell you, I don't catch fish. Ever.

Here's my movies to catch up on.

56. Grace is Gone (DVD) 5/10. I had hoped for better. It seemed like it could have been a good story, but it just went nowhere.

57. Elmer Gantry (DVD) 8/10. Very good. Just goes to show that there is nothing new under the sun, is there?

58. Vantage Point (DVD) 7/10. Interesting story, kept me thinking the whole time. Some holes in the plot, but that's to be expected.

59. God Said Ha! (DVD) 8/10. Julia Sweeney's stage show...very funny and good.

60. Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day (DVD) 8/10. Just a fun story.

61. The Women (Theater)7/10. Pretty entertaining for an evening.

62. Young@Heart (DVD) 9/10. Fun documentary, great story!
