mad men.
i love it. do i suggest you go and watch it? absolutely not. you will no longer think that i am a wholesome person. it is definately pg-13-,people and full of sneaky, lying, adulturous characters and yet i am obsessed. what does this say about me? everything from the costumes, sets, actors down to the haunting dialogue and script-is hands down perfect. i feel like i am watching a play on television, if that makes sense. the first "real" play i ever saw was at BYU, i remembered making a connection later that plays don't have to "all tie up" like movies do. they leave you thinking, emotionally connected to actors you shouldn't even like or care about. i think these elements have become more alive in film now than they ever have been and now to see it on tv is a joy. if you do decide to give in and watch it know that you have to keep watching to truly understand the whole concept and feel of the series. you will either love it or hate it....it will drive you mad!!!!!(that had to happen, you know it, it was either that or "i'm mad about mad men.")
cubs
so the cubs lost. i told seth that he just better realize that the cubs are never going to make it to the world series. they mentally can't get past the curse. he hates it when i talk sports. i sometimes purposly do it just to make him mad. because i love him to be a mad man. :) (it was too easy) no really, the cubs are never going to win, the end. like snl obama said, just pick a different team.
carson and the bee
carson came home from school yesterday with a big movie sized box of sour skittles. seth asked him who gave him that and he shrugged and said, "i won the first grade spelling bee". i didn't really beleive him so i called his teacher and sure enough he was telling the truth. he won on the word, "secret". needless to say we are super proud of him and are starting to practice for the national spelling bee...okay the last part is a lie but maybe we should put him in a school for kids who read good. he could be this kid someday....
we all can dream can't we?

Go Carson!
I always knew I liked Carson! He is so modest and humble. Congrats!I agree with you and the Cubs. I think this is the only time I will say this but, I side with SNL Obama as well.
We missed you guys for the race this weekend. It almost tripled in size from last year. Bill is thinking of making a cap for next year, only 100 so you guys need to come down.
We are going to be up North for Halloween, will you guys be around so we can bring Lilly Trick or treating?

are all things theatrical in our genes or just a by product of playwrite days?
paper or plastic?
Mad Men is awesome...and I like to watch it with my parents so as to make me super uncomfortable...but I still love it. Maybe this makes me a bad person? Who cares, and I love Entourage too...I DON'T recommend you watch the highly offensive, rated R humored addictive show. ;)
What is Mad Men? I don't understand? What is it? Help? I'm in Europe!!!
