Champagne, please!

Hey, this is my maiden voyage as a blogger!

I am widely percieved to be a snob & "above it all," so it shouldn't be a surprise that I have deactivated my Face***k account. I might have to sneak back in there sometime to get some addresses, etc. however.

I spent my weekend as a bachelor and here are the highlights:
-Great bike ride Friday evening, good sweat and swim afterwards;
-Viburnums pruned, clippings bagged, a few teetering moments on the ladder;
-Bought Mark R. Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto" today and had goosebumps 2 pages into it;
-Saw - by myself - The Hurt Locker at Fair City Mall. I wanted to see this movie because I heard an interview with the director and the screenwriter and was impressed with their intention of telling this story without a political narrative. It was edgy and almost impossible to watch at times because of the very graphic violence but I think important to see how some men are selfless in their pursuit of their mission. It was very real and the editing was amazing. I loved how the characters didn't have to explain ANYTHING. The story unfolded That is what I strive for in my screenplays;
-Food was consumed of course... I made pickled beets, cucumbers with viniagrete from our garden; excellent tuna salad served on whole wheat EM's (English Muffins).

Matt will return to the compound (Hyas Kullstick), tomorrow night, after a weekend in Erie, PA, attending his class reunion and visiting Mom Patty.
