The Fate of the Furious

To finish off the day LuLu, Tre, and Smiley joined me in seeing the 8th installment of the greatest theatrical franchise in history! It wasn't as emotional as 7 - I didn't tear up - but the action, as expected, was nonstop and over the top. Plus, for all those whining about the lack of race time in recent entries: the movie starts with the best race of the series. There's plenty of Nos too!

 As of 10:30 there's an SUV belly-up on the Holt Ave on ramp.

The End of the 19th Century Happened . . . . TODAY

With the passing of the world's oldest woman today, it appears that no one from the 19th century is left on this Earth, and that the history of that era is now complete.

Egg Dyeing 2017 - pt 2 Cookie Decorating!

After the eggs Lisa brought out a cookie decorating kit and the kids went at it. BTW, YaYa was working and thus missed the day's events, breaking both tradition and her father's heart LOL

Easter Egg Dyeing 2017

Team Slap's 20th annual Easter Egg Dyeing took place this afternoon. While the kids finished up, Tracy and I walked to Cousins Subs to get everyone tuna subs for lunch.

Apparently, in my junior year of high school I took a Business Law class and earned an A and 5 credit hours (whatever that was). I assure you, I don't have even the flimsiest memory of any such event. I also took Oceanography and notched a B. Long story short: apparently a doppleganger took a bunch of classes for me at Pius.

I detest when people who haven't seen me in twenty years recognize me on sight. Why not just mail me a card congratulating me on being the same morbidly obese POS I was back in the day?

How to Become a Movie Extra The Hollywood Way

This book, written by Facebook friend Tom Willett, arrived in the mail yesterday. I just finished it. It has plenty of practical advice for the entertainment industry as well as a hint of the great stories he has from a career in Hollywood. I hear he's working on a book of those stories, and I look forward to reading that too.

Please, patronize this Cousins Subs!

 If you've got the inclination, partake in this sale tomorrow. The owner originally had the tuna special set for Easter Sunday; I explained that a Friday deal would better entice Catholics, and he made the change. Don't make me look like a liar lol!
