"There's No Place Like Gnome......................."

Good Evening;
Well I am just getting settled in the shed and am going to try and go to sleep now.
I have spent the whole day with Rachel, and needless to say it has been a good day. We were dropped off in Owings Mills at the movie theatre at 10: 30 am this morning by the 'ex' and saw "Gnomeo And Juliet". I have to say it was a lot of fun, great CGI, good characterizations, lots of little slipped in double meanings for the older folks, and an (Obviously.........lol!) good storyline. The voices were wonderful too, from Michael Caine to Ozzy Osbourne, and Maggie Smith to Hulk Hogan, and Dolly Parton to Patrick Stewart....and many more. We saw the $5.oo matinee, but it's worth the full price ticket. We had a blast. We then took the bus back to the Metro Subway to the Light Rail to Mt. Washington and spent the rest of the day and evening at the Starbucks and Whole Foods, eating, drinking and playing on the computer. Erik of Pikesville PC (www.pikesvillepc.com) loaded a bunch of PopCap games on the laptop and Rachel has fallen for "Bookworm Adventure Deluxe", which is a lot of fun for me too. We took the bus up the hill to her new apaertment and I killed the better part of an hour visiting with 3 of my (former) stepkids, and the old dog the new puppy and the 2 cats...(kind of....you know how cats are....lol!), and the 'ex'. Then I caught the bus back on it's next run.....there is only one bus on the route at night....once an hour. Then the bus to the Giant, the gas station, and glorious windswept walls of Draughty Manor......and I'm done.....my fingertips are numb and frozen, it's time to crawl into the sleeping bag and lay on them.....gives the term...'sit on your hands' a whole new meaning.........................lol!

Later........................Dave
