dinner guests

I think Willie Nelson would be fun company.  He and Doug could talk taxes and conspiracies.  I always thought Robin Williams would be a good dinner companion but that was before I had children.

good marketing

After the movie (which was about 15 minutes too long for a 4-year-old girl), we went to Tar-jay for laundry detergent and listened to another family debating whether their very small child should get the Mater or Lightning t-shirt.  Then, we went to Krogrrr for dinner ingredients and listened to two elementary-aged children squealing with […]

Grandaddy says

Cathy – “Dad, do you want to go with us to see “Cars” tomorrow?” Grandaddy – “What kind of cars?” Doug – “The kind that talk.” Update – The credits are the very BEST part of the movie. Toy Car Story, bwa ha ha!
