Today's Adventure

not a great day today - launched the old seadoo for the first time this year. It wouldn't start. Fortunately I was close enough to the launch to push it and Tasha back in. Changed sparks plugs etc but to no avail. Looks like tomorrow will be a holiday spent going to the repair shop. Then went for a walk in the forest - to the lovely sounds of ... a million hatching mosquitoes!!!

"Remember Me"

Watched a fantastic movie last evening – it was too wet for a campfire. I have to give Tasha full credit for choosing it. Her artistic sensibilities are really developing.




The movie is called “Remember Me”. It is a touching story of love. It is not created as a Hollywood blockbuster, but explores many types of love, wonderfully scripted to interweave among the characters. It has the feel of an independent, arts house movie. It depicts the love (and non-love) between couples, of course; between friends; non-love (actually bullying) between school students; and love from parent to child, and child to parent (both of young child and 20ish child). What a mixture! But it is all related so beautifully and with tender emotion. It will tug at your heartstrings. And make sure you have the Kleenex handy for the conclusion.



This one is well worth it. We rented it on DVD from the local store. Here’s a link to this movie’s listing in Internet Movie Database:
