Happy Father’s Day… and Summer Solstice/First Day of Summer!

Yesterday, SaraRules and I went to the Utah Foster Care Chalk Art Festival. We saw , Jack and Turtle… and their art piece. We also saw ‘s parents, as well as and while we were there. There were a lot of good pieces, but it was also raining, so many of them were under plastic and/or tents?

We headed up to SaraRules’ parents’, met Logan and formulated our gameplan for the afternoon. Between the three of us, we came up with going to a movie. We decided on The Taking of Pelham 123. It was a good movie and had definitely been updated to take advantage of the changes in technology in the past 35 years. Some of the specifics of the movie also changed, but not in ways that detracted from the overall story. One noticeable difference: Where the original movie was more of a “heist” movie, with a lot of chess-like, cat-and-mouse moves and feints, this movie was more… direct with its interaction between the characters of Denzel Washington and John Travolta.

After the movie, we headed back home for a while before we decided to make a pilgrimage to The Garden of Sweden. They are having their Summer Sale and one of the items listed was an office chair. After getting to the store, however, we opted on a different chair than we had originally gone to pick up. Since we were already in the south part of the valley, we met up with , and (new)Chris for dinner at V.I.

Today, Chris came over and played HeroClix. We did a “Soldiers vs. Soldiers” match. Chris took an early lead, then I evened things up. From there, we traded punches and shots until he wound up wearing down my team.

Next, I headed over to SaraRules’ parents’ for dinner and a movie. Tonight’s fare: The Devil’s Backbone.

Tomorrow, a new work week begins. Yay.
