Jessica and I went to see "The Lake House" last night. It was pretty good, actually better than I expected. I admit to having a hard time understanding how the two-years-apart time thing worked out at the end. Jessica has explained it to me multiple times and I almost understand, but not quite. I assume they don't want you to think about it that hard.

I decided that I like Keanu Reeves in spite of the fact that he sounds like he's reading overdubs for a Japanese soap opera.

Anyway.....

Sometimes you just have to go through some favorite pictures to cheer yourself up. That's what I did today.
