I'm back.

Spent the weekend in Little Rock. Main reason was to visit the Greek Food Fest.

There, Jessica and I met up with Peter and Beth, Martin and Virginia (Bet's parents), Bryan, and Jess' mother Alese. Quite a crowd. Jessica and I only spent around 1 hour at the event. Long enough to get some food, talk with our friends, and watch some Russian dancing. (I know...you're saying..."But he just said it was a Greek Food Fest." That's right...but they feature other nationalities.) We might have stayed longer but Jess was a bit warm and it was going to be an hour before the next set of dancers performed.

The we went and saw The Interpreter. If you like political thrillers with an overt political message...then this movie is for you. Not for the Conservatives out there as it barely masks it's pro-UN bias. Though, as the first movie to actually film inside the UN it was rather cool the see the interiors of the General Assembly room from different perspectives. Also, the acting was universally sound but Sean Penn always looks a bit too weary in almost everything he's in.

Soccer was a bust yet again. First half we held them scoreless and had a 1-0 lead. We ended up losing 5-1 in another second half blowout. Another member of the team got a red card and was actually kicked off the field due to his constant yelling. The refs did get the call wrong but screaming obscenities at them wasn't going to convince them to change their minds.

Mountain Inn is still standing...no real change. I'll get a new photo when something interesting happens. Right now they appear to still be in prep mode. We'll see if I can snap some photos and not get flagged by Homeland Security.

Maybe you should just tell the refs your funky-fresh nickname...L.L. Cool K. Oh yes, the cheering squad will have to bring pompoms on Sunday, oh yes my friend.
