Normally, I'm a little leery when Hollywood decides to make a movie version of almost anything - a book, tv show, action figures, etc. (A movie version of Dark Shadows! A movie version of every comic book ever made!) And I'm especially suspicious of stunts. Pirates of the Caribbean was a stunt - a movie based on a Disneyland ride? Did you know they're making a movie version of the board game Battleship? Yep, they are.
So naturally, when I hear they've made a movie version of The Three Stooges, I'm not impressed. Nevertheless, I'm posting the trailer here. Why? Because, if nothing else, the last four or five seconds of it are pure wish fulfillment for me and I love it. Enjoy.

Notes to Self
The soup at Subway is gross. Every time. Don't buy it again unless you're in the mood for glue.
When it's March and still snowing, remember how much you looked forward to the first snow in December.
You cannot save every student. If they stop coming to class or don't hand in assignments, there's very little you can do. Allow them the learning experience of failure.
Watch the two year-old. She's a crafty ninja and can be very quiet when digging through the litter box or finger painting with the cat's water dish.
Facebook is a monumental time suck. Some people use it for useful, productive things. You aren't one of those people. Just log off and forget about it.

Brothers
So it was a quick trip but fun as heck and well worth the travel. Highlights include:
Big Jud's - of course.
Real Steel - Giant! Robot! Boxing! Plus a touching story about fathers and sons.
Melanie's Brothers' Reunion Spread - homemade soup, jerky, Chocodiles, diet Pepsi, a bowl of cookie dough, (that's right, a bowl of cookie dough just for us to eat), etc.
Prison Break - thanks a lot, Dave. Now I have to go find it on DVD because I have to know what happens next.
My charming nieces and nephews - each one sweet and fun and funny. I only got kicked in the nose once which is pretty good considering how much uncle-torment I dished out over the course of two days. Kyle tagged me pretty good on accident. Blake pulverized my sternum - not on accident. Not at all.
My lovely sisters-in-law - such good women.
My brothers - the best of men.
I loved it.
