Neat stuff

While El Burrito fights the idea of napping (going on half an hour now), we bring you:

Neat things that have happened lately
  • Principal filming started (finally) on the 4th Indiana Jones movie. And about time! As much as I like watching Harrison Ford, and in spite of the fact that he's aging amazingly well, he's not getting any younger, you know. I read somewhere (online?) that he's older now than Sean Connery was in Last Crusade. Which is more than a bit mind-boggling.
  • El Burrito won a $50 gift card in some sort of drawing at the credit union where he has a savings account. The boy's got luck. He got $10 as a door prize at the CU annual meeting this spring, and we found a quarter for his piggy bank at Target this weekend.
  • The Pirates of the Mississippi are back with a new album (after a ten-year hiatus). The first single is called "Fish Bait" which I thought was a bit in tune with our Deadliest Catch obsession. :)
  • I finally won something from the StarTrek.com giveaways that I've been entering for months. I got a copy of a graphic novel (aka comic book) that looks pretty interesting.
  • On Monday, we put out 41 pounds of paper recycling. That's not counting the bag of glass/aluminum/plastic, or the bag of actual trash.
