I'm a Firefly Dad

I got this Father's Day card from my sister-in-law. When I opened it I had the greatest laugh. What makes it really cool is that she has no idea about Firefly the show or that I'm a big fan of it.

Father's day weekend was very nice. Saturday the Mrs. and I took out little one to see Howl's Moving Castle, a very nice, breezy anime feature. It's not Miyazski's best, but it's still the best kid's movie by far this year. Afterward my little one and I went to Kessa's monthly Shindig. This month was a low key affair but it was very pleasant talking to friends and kicking back around the firepit on an usually cool June evening.

Sunday my girls gave me Seasons 2 and 3 of 24 on DVD while the Mrs. gave me a much needed new set of BBQ utensils after finding out that the PawSox game was totally sold out (not even general admission was available!), I took in Mr. and Mrs. Smith with my older one's boyfriend. It was by far a smart movie, but it was a lot of fun. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie make a fun team to watch - I wouldn't at all mind a sequel.

So all in all it was a very good weekend and hopefully the start of a very good summer.
