Another busy summer weekend. Friday night dinner at Joy's Noodles with the in-laws who brought Gabe into the city to stay with us for the weekend. Then went out with him and his friend Eric to watch The Hurt Locker, a good movie but filmed shaky cam style. And I am, from here on out, boycotting shaky cam movies. I should have learned my lesson after The Blair Witch Project, or Friday Night Lights, or Dancer in the Dark. Maybe it's just trying to watch it in the theater that causes a problem. So no more for me. If I read a review about the most amazing film ever, but it's shaky cam? No $10 from my pocket. Otherwise, the movie was great. And made me want to watch S.W.A.T., which I did the next day before we went out to Minooka to see Lisa and Ryan and little Zoe, and play in the pool. Sunday wandered around the neighborhood a bit with Gabe, lunch at Lucky's Sandwich Company, which I thought was a Pittsburgh joint, but might just be like Primanti Brothers. The Iron City 6pk cardboard holders gave me the clue. Headed out to Homer Glen to drop Gabe off at his parents, and a BBQ. Then some supply shopping at Target. Busy weekend.
