1) Yesterday, we went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of
Smaug. I enjoyed it a lot. What an ending! I don’t think I will give anything away if I
say that many of the people around us, including me, burst out laughing at the
end. But it has me wondering if that is
the typical reaction.
2) If you look closely around ¾ of the way into the
movie, you will see two pugs wandering around in Laketown. One of them looks suspiciously like our
Olive.
3) Speaking of movies, my son Evan got me the complete set of
the Harry Potter movies for
Christmas. I watched the first one last
night. Carrie got me a jar of date syrup
and a book. She knows my weak spots. I got a light box from Greg. That should provide loads of fun for me when I get it set up.
4) Every year I get the family a new board game or
two to play during the holidays. This
year I got two: Munchkin and Thanks a Lot! We enjoyed Munchkin but only played it once.
We played Thanks a Lot! until
we went through the whole deck of cards.
It is non-competitive and a lot of laughs. I won all but one of the matches so it is my
new favorite game.

5) I got to the half-way point of my Flickr 365 on
Christmas Day, which is also my half-birthday.
I have managed to keep up so far.
Hoping I am on the down-ward slope.
Carrie, who started her 365 on New Year’s Day, is really close to the
end. If she can do it, I can do it. Right?
