We took Memphis to see "The Incredibles" last night. First of all, this is a great movie; and I generally reserve praise for only exceptional films. Pixar did a nice job of weaving a story with a lot of complex themes into an easy to enjoy tale. You can get lost in the animation because it's so good, so full of emotional hooks. And before the movie, there's a short film which gives a nice uplift after the long week we all had.
What was also great was Memphis sat through the entire movie - this is a first for her. She made it from previews->credits; almost two hours! And she had a ton of fun watching it [it's not hard because "The Incredibles" is such a fun movie]. It's not like we'll be taking her to the movies every week, but when there's something special to see, we have confidence she can watch it entirely without fuss. I guess the trick is picking the right movie.
Other news... Fran just sent mail about Ray's new treatment, amen!

Hmm, how do you fall asleep during an action film? You need to buy him a vente before the film next time :]
Everyone is generally doing fine. Please post a recent picture of your son when you get a chance.
It's starting to get cold up here in the NW!
