Remembering Babi

She was my grandmother. She was one of my best friends. She was a wonderful Christian woman who respected everyone and earned the respect of all who met her. She was "Babi".

As her two grandchildren, she taught Michael and I a great many things. She showed everyone how to be a better person and we would all do well to remember, refine and exemplify those lessons in our own lives.

It was two years ago today that Babi passed away. She has been missed by all. This world is a lesser place without her in it. She is with God and the angels, and even Heaven itself is enriched by her being there.

We miss you, Babi.

Google controls the weather

I love Google. I admit it and am not ashamed of it. However, today it got my hopes up and crushed them. Apparently Google cannot make it snow in 95 degree weather.

Bad-ass Bourne

First came Identity, then Supremacy, and now Ultimatum. One of the greatest action movie series ever created.

Steph and I joined Michael and Sarah this weekend to see the third installment in the Bourne series. It did not disappoint.

Let's get something straight. Bourne is NOT a Bond. Bourne doesn't have neat gadgetry, a sports car, a tuxedo, nor the want to charm anyone. Instead, he has a book, a newspaper, bare hands, and street clothes. I won't spoil anything for those of you that have yet to enjoy the latest in the series. You will [hopefully] notice that the end of Supremacy was actually well into Ultimatum. We learn just how Jason Bourne/David Webb came to be and why he is seriously, undoubtedly, pissed off. (The whole promised-one-thing, doing-another trick.)

Matt Damon is an action hero (ahem, the chase in Morocco). He doesn't need Ben Affleck getting in his way. Julia Stiles is back -- at first as eye candy, but you realize she's wrapped into the plot more than ever before. And, if there's not a fourth movie, a lot of people will always be asking questions.

See this movie, my friends -- only after you've seen Identity and Supremacy, of course. It rocks.
