Daniel Reese: June 2008 Archives

We went to see Wall-E yesterday with some friends who were in town for the weekend. We don’t normally take the kids to movies very often (the last one was Ratatouille, if I remember right) because usually someone will get scared or restless and need to go out in the hallway. It’s always been a big stresser for us, but we keep trying every so often because we love their pure enthusiasm when things are going well.

However, Wall-E went really well. It may have been because they’d watched the previews and trailers so often. But whatever it was, everyone lasted the whole 97 minutes, even Amberly.

And Wall-E was really good. It feels like it goes a bit too quickly, but we all liked it. Tyler asked if we could get the DVD. He was only a little disappointed when I told him it wouldn’t be out until we got closer to Christmas.

I updated our web gallery with some recent pictures. Most recently, we’ve been doing a lot of work in our backyard, which isn’t quite done, and we took a trip up Payson Canyon and walked up the Grotto Trail to see the waterfall. Very fun.

At lunch with some coworkers today, I was lucky enough to get two fortunes in my cookie.

Your present plans will be successful.

The second was:

A pleasant surprise is in store for you soon.

One coworker chuckled, “You read those out of order.”
