I had a really nice weekend all the way through. On Friday we all wen to Molly's surprise 40th birthday party. The kids had a lot of fun and I met a fellow Rails junky and will probably be giving a presentation on Rails to Autodesk in the coming months.
On Saturday I took Megan to see Open Season, which was fun, but really predictable. Unfortunately the sound level dropped to about half during the trailers and remained that way through the entire film. So I was able to get two re-entry passes for when Lori takes Megan, because it, as always, is Megan's favorite movie.
Then on Saturday night Lori and I went to Rogue Chef's in Half Moon Bay with Marty and Simone. That was really great. My entree was pretty good, and the rest of them were raving about what they had. But the wine, dessert and conversation more than made up for what was just a kind of blandish meal.
By Sunday it was pretty clear that Megan and Lori were both getting colds, but still I decided to push through with the plan of taking Megan, Dru and his kids to our local indoor pool. This particular pool is great because it's got a play structure in the pool with slides and water guns and all sorts of stuff. Plus there is a lazy river with innertubes that you can float around in. All of the kids loved it and by the end we all wanted to go back.
After that I got home and made a fire in the fireplace and dinner and kinda sacked out. Though I did manage to get through the season premiere of Dexter which was so good that it was really disturbing. The show is about a serial killer who hunts serial killers. It's very, very well written, and the acting is fantastic. Gotta hand it to the cable drama show folks, they can do sick and disturbing like nobodies business.
Speaking of Dexter, have you heard that Willie Nelson's tour bus got pulled over and he was found with a pound of pot? Probable cause? Because he is Willie Nelson! I think the cops should keep on the lookout for the writers of Dexter, they clearly know way too much about the mind of a serial killer.
