Congrats!


To LB Squared on their nuptials!  It was a very fun wedding.  The was a nice mix of people who were ready to get their groove on and I thought the LBs did a very nice job sorting it all out. The Round Barn did an excellent job with food and decor.  There was dancing, drinking (too late), and parties galore.  Good crowd, good music (especially during the ceremony and reception), good fun.  If you are looking for a fun cheap place to bring a crowd and stay for a night or two check out the Slidebrook Inn in Waitsfield.  It is no frills but was a good crash pad for us.  As far as the wedding, 2 resounding thumbs up!!

On the flip side, yesterday the special lady and I watched the Denzel train thriller Unstoppable.  This could have also been called "Unwatchable" or "Denzel on a Train Without Travolta", or "2 Hours Until the Hostage Taker Gives You Back Your Life"!  What a piece of shit.  The tension is never really built.  Denzel is fat.  There is no chemistry between characters.  Trains lost their action appeal in 1942... seriously, who the f*ck still rides on a train?!  Why is Rosario Dawson in this movie?  I have a hard time believing there are many super hot exotic looking train managers or whatever her job was.  It is like imagining Jessica Alba in an action flick where she sells magazines at a kiosk in the Burlington Airport and has to stop a madman from stealing all of the month old In Style magazines.  Gripping no?  And who decides to put fuel tanks next to a hairpin railroad track curve?  Why would you put them there for heck's sake?  There are 1 billion better places to put them in any town or city?!  Was it too expensive to put the nuclear reactor there?!?!?!  1 thumb down.
