Labor Day Weekend

Well, folks the long Labor Day weekend has come to a close, and I am proud to say I got very little done. We had a very lazy weekend, watched the first 5 episodes of the HBO miniseries John Adams. What a wonderful documentary of the life of our 2nd President. He was a very passionate patriot, and his guidance was instrumental in the forming of our country. The producers did an excellent job of recreating the late 1700's and early 1800's, and Paul Giamatti does an amazing job in the title role. The makeup artists transformed David Morse into the father of our country - I told Jen he looked just like a dollar bill! Anyway, I encourage anyone who has not seen it to buy it, rent it or borrow it. It is well worth the time.
Madelyn is back home and ready to get back to school after her bout with whatever stomach bug has been floating around and caused her to miss two full days of the first week of school. She was a little resistant (okay, more than a little resistant) when 8:30 bed time rolled around, but is all tucked in and drifting towards dream land... with her little doggie Klaus beside her.
Have a wonderful week everyone...It's time for THE political convention - YIPPEE!! ttfn
