We had a fun weekend. On Friday, Cathie and I went out on date for our anniversary. Nothing fancy. We went out for dinner, and to see Collateral (more on that later). We spent a lot of time reflecting on everything we've gone through and accomplished in our first twelve years of marriage. Collateral was a decent movie, but an odd crowd. People were laughing at really strange times, like big killing scenes.

On Saturday, we had a block party, and a friend of mine from work, Newton, was in town from Louisiana joined us there as well. You could throw this guy into a crowd of any type of people and he could make friends. He's a great guy. There was one akward moment when one of my neighbors was telling Newton a racist joke - figuring a guy from the deep south must be a racist. Newton and I stood there as he nudged me, telling me not to say anything. Newton's wife is black. He was gracious enough not to want to embaress the guy in a large crowd, and we got a laugh about the whole thing later.

Sunday, we hung out and did a whole lot of nothing during the day. In the evening, Cathie and I went out to dinner before a church meeting that we had that evening. It was a meeting to get some closure on things and move on. Overall, it was a good meeting.
