A hot, sunny weekend...

We had a great weekend in Portland. It was sunny and hot; yesterday, I think it got to about 90!

Star Trek was a great reworking of the story--but they also introduced some significant changes that make it pretty much a completely new time line, with the planet Vulcan being destroyed. Naturally, Kirk ended up in bed with a green, Orion woman. A twist was that Uhura and Spock were an item.

We took it easy on Friday evening and Saturday, watching some DVD movies, including The Princess Diaries, The Princess Diaries II: Royal Engagement, Father's Little Dividend and Murphy's Romance. Joy and I spent some time going through our pictures, deleting blurry ones and putting more of them onto our digital photo frame.

Yesterday, we all got up at 6 am and worked, getting a lot accomplished, including weeding, washing cars and clothes, and organizing our bedroom and computer room. We then went to a matinee showing of Angels & Demons, an exciting action flick. I liked the book better--as usual, but they did a pretty good job of turning the book into a movie.

It's back to work time, but we'll have a 3 day Memorial Day weekend coming up soon!
