I watched two movies this weekend that I really did enjoy. They are Dragonfly with Kevin Costner and The Majestic with Jim Carrey. I am thinking that one of the reasons I liked these movies so much is because of lowered expectations. I am not a big Jim Carrey fan, in fact I am not even sure if I am spelling his name correctly, I did like him in this movie better than any other movie in which he starred. Anyway, if you are planning on renting these movies on my say so be sure to lower your expectations before watching them.
Danny is in town til the 30th. He has to be happy to be spending time at his own home.
I am on the lookout for a road bike. I think that Meredith and Kathleen are both buying new ones. Meredith for sure this weekend and Kathleen very very soon. Kathleen called me to pressure me into signing up for the triathlon in Katy Tx. It seems that most of the Houston folks are participating in it. I am going to try to find a new bike or a really good used one before that time.

Posted by: Jfer at August 18, 2002 10:06 PMA road bike is definitely what you will need. Good luck getting one! What a fun purchase to make. One of these days I'll have to get one too if I'm to keep doing all these triathlons.
I have become a reluctant fan of Jim Carrey too over the years. Dale and I both think that The Truman Show is an excellent movie, and I highly recommend it. We'll check out The Majestic--I remember reading good things about that when it was out at the movies.
And you know, if you're going to do the Cinco Ranch tri, you should sign up quickly before they close the registration. Would be a shame to be planning on doing it and then finding out that you can't.
And you're right about most of the family doing it--Kathleen, Courtney, John, Felicia, Margaret, and Tim as part of a relay. It will be so cool!
