national anthem

my friend fred (whose long-dormant blog is linked to the right) sang the national anthem at the RailCats game friday night. i recorded it so you could all be impressed with her mad skills. :)

i went home this weekend and had a fabulous time. besides the RailCats game (which they lost), i got to see a lot of family at a 50th anniversary party and celebrate my mom's birthday. all good stuff.

last night i watched the movie Julie & Julia. in the movie, Julie blogs about her year cooking through Julia Child's cookbook. i don't see myself cooking my way through Julia Child's cookbook ... but i like the basic concept. i'm obviously a fan of having odd goals, and i like that it gave her blog some really good purpose and theme. i think my blog needs more purpose and theme.
