I somewhat hesitantly proclaim that
spring has arrived in New England. Any long standing resident will understand
my trepidation at the proclamation. Less than three weeks after last using a
snow shovel I was out mowing what remained of my lawn. I’m noticing the impact
of the year that has passed in terms of wear and tear on the body as well. All
of this should be a lot easier than it was. My knee is reminding me a little more
forcefully that its best days are far behind it. I also spent a hefty amount of
time dodging the sprinkler I set up to deluge the hydro-seeded portion of what
used to be the front lawn. Either I’m getting slower or the sprinklers faster.
My wife returned home from yet another
flower buying expedition, another annual rite of spring passage. She spent a
lot of time on the phone last night with our daughter counseling her through
the preparing of the Panamanian national dish – Arroz con Pollo. My Favorite Panamanian
was very proud that her daughter wanted to prepare the dish for an
international food event she was involved in. The FBR did not seem all that
impressed and contented herself with a ravenous demolition of ravioli during
our call.
The biggest news of the day however was
the three month anniversary of the BRS’ arrival on the scene. The ABFA posted
this picture which shows how far she’s come in those ninety days. She was
reportedly a little grumpy last night, probably because her parents hadn’t
taken her out to celebrate the day. I’m really looking forward to having both of
the future blog readers under my roof on Saturday.
Date night had us at the movie theater
to see the remake of Overboard. They did the old gender switch on the 1980s Goldie
Hawn-Kurt Russel rom-com. A very rich Mexican falls off his yacht and washes
ashore with amnesia. He’s scooped up by a single mom he recently disrespected
who convinces him he’s her husband. Her entire circle of friends take part in
the deception as the pampered rich boy starts working to support his family.
There wasn’t the same level of chemistry between the leads as in the first movie
but that would be an improbably high expectation. This is a nice simple and at
times very funny movie ably handled in almost workman like fashion. There are
some very cute allusions to other movies as well, such a one armed police chief
named Brody taking a report on a shark attack. In the end this was nothing to
write home about but a lot of harmless fun.
