T-Minus 7


He's Back!!!
A rainy Saturday was rescued in outstanding fashion with the arrival of our son to spend the last week of bachelorhood at home.  Less than a week now to the big day when he and the MEF begin their marital journey.  His arrival was entirely reminiscent of his visits home from college as the washing machine was soon overwhelmed with a huge load of laundry.
With his Laundry
His mother and he were soon at work practicing their dance moves for the mother son dance.  Buddy was less than pleased that his favorite human was not playing with him.  Since we’re having visitors today Buddy was focusing on not shedding and failing spectacularly.  I swear we could knit an entirely new dog on what he donates to the floor on a weekly basis.
Dance Moves
Since date night will be consumed with wedding guest arrival activities we all went to see the latest summer blockbuster, Guardians of the Galaxy.  I honestly think this is the best movie I’ve seen this year.  I was expecting a tongue in cheek Marvel adventure but this turned out to be a very good movie in and of itself.  While it did have some very, very funny dialogue it was also a very good adventure flick.  You add in a talking, smart ass raccoon and a one line talking tree which works so unexpectedly well (Bradley Copper and Vin Diesel voices helped).

Great Movie - Go See It on the Big Screen
Chris Pratt has never been my cup of tea but he’s very funny in this and handles the adventure part with aplomb. Saladana is at her slinky best despite (once again) being buried under a mountain of green makeup.  Is it weird that she can be so sexy repeatedly as an alien species.  The theater was packed and this was the best way to see this as we all joined in the experience.  The entire audience clapped at the end which is totally out of character for a New England locale but a good indication of how good this movie was.  Be sure to stick around for the post credit scene which had me rolling.
