-Janelle and I (and Rowen) finished watching The Crown. We are in agreement that we are happy to not have that level of fame.
-Rowen turned 14.
-I dressed up as a Jedi for a "future career."
-I attended a variety of events celebrating the accomplishments of our wonderful graduating class of 2024.
-We watched and enjoyed the first season of Fallout.
-Katrina also had a birthday.
-Connor now has a job at Fred Meyers
-I had my marathon of the more recent Planet of the Apes movies. I think that I like them more every time that I see them. Rowen and I watched and enjoyed the newest one, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, at the theater.
-Janelle and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary.
-I decided to forgo "no-mow-May" and am attempting to keep our lawn more trimmed now that it has mostly filled out since our septic replacement several years ago.
-Rowen and I have been making progress around the house, garage, and yard. In compensation, we've been paying Rowen for his efforts. I feel that we've been making substantial improvements in a relatively short amount of time.
-I cruised through Project Hail Mary and highly recommend the book.
-We recently finished the first season of The 3 Body Problem. I liked the first half of the season more than the second.
-The younger boys and I watched Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga at the theater and enjoyed it. I like the story more than Fury Road, but I feel that there was entirely too much "telling" in this new movie by comparison. I still recommend it for fans of science fiction dystopian stories.
-I just came back from my friend's birthday celebration where we watched Dune: Part 2. He's still on house arrest (for over a year) as the judge is continuing to review his appeal that the case be thrown out due to a lack of evidence, a falsified transcript, and a massive misrepresentation of information and omission of pertinent details to the grand jury.
June has several large events coming up. May it be a month full of joy and good news.
