What are people doing this weekend?

I already did what I was planning for the weekend! My sister and I might go junk-shop treasure-hunting tomorrow morning before she goes back home. And I'm continuing my quest to clean out closets. For entertainment, I'm going to go see Jurassic World.

Hapy Birthday Plei!!

I want something. I can't figure out what.

Pony?

Went to see Jurassic World this afternoon, and it made me very happy. It is what it is, a summer actioner, but a summer actioner with a sense of its own history and a deft hand at storytelling. I will forgive a movie a lot if it shows skill with what plot elements it has to hand.

And I wasn't even rooting for the kids to get eaten, like I was in the first one.

Pony?

I don't think so. More in the way of something to eat, probably.

Weekend plans: we'll probably do storytime at the bookstore tomorrow morning, and maybe get out the sprinkler or kiddie pool in the afternoon. Or go to the splash park? Then on Sunday, if the weather isn't stormy, we might drive down the Natchez Trace a ways (stopping for a Father's Day breakfast at the Loveless Cafe) and find somewhere to go swimming. Basically, spend as much time in the water as we can.

Today we went to Legoland and spent most of the morning in the water park there, so I can relate, Kate. Every day this week, we've filled the kiddie pool and had water fights. We have a plan for a pool day on Wednesday.

The traffic back from legoland was dreadful and now I am too tired to move.

Photography, a BBQ, and pub quiz playoff finals.

I read this as pornography, and was like 'Huh, watching or making?"

Kate's sounds nice, as does Kat's (except for the traffic). I worked at a site (local, thankfully) all day, but although it was annoying and very hard work, it was good because the person who took over is SO MUCH BETTER than the previous person. Wow. So glad about that.

Now I"m grilling more food, going dancing later...tomorrow plan to run, and then go to a bar with folks in the evening, and Sunday a friend is having a housewarming and then I might dance more.

Late to the subject on forgiveness. There is a Jewish tradition that is not exactly forgiveness, but is a kind of moving on which my help people stuck with unwanted anger.(And there is nothing in it to prevent forgiveness if you want that as a next step). Saying mourners Kaddish for someone who is wrong, that is mourning them as dead. If someone does you a great wrong you can decide that as far as you are concerned they died. They may still be walking around and talking and breathing, but that has no impact on you because they are dead. If it is too late because they actually have died, you can decide that the day of their death was not the one in their obituary, but when they did the wrong. The date in their obit just made official something that happened long ago. It is not always an easy thing to do. I've failed at it at times. But I'm putting it out there in case it helps anyone.
