Rising...

I realize that my movie-loving friends will already be all over this. I also realize that many of my readers here are not industry types so there's a chance, only a chance mind you, that you've haven't yet seen the...

BEST trailer in years.

See you at the theater this weekend.

As usual, Christopher Nolan will equal parts thrill us and make us a little bit depressed about our lack of movie making awesomeness.

Reserved...

My wee daughters at 50 Point last week.

The beach you're looking at is reserved for 'boaters' ie: for those who braved the passage to said beach on their boats.

Interesting, you know, there are quite a few things in life that end up being 'reserved' for those who risk.

Not just beaches.

Sometimes...

You just gotta' go...

We were going to sail to Toronto, but the wind and waves were against us so, instead, we sailed to 50 Point. We'd heard it was a lovely spot, and man, was it ever.

On the way home the next day it was so freakin' hot that we just stopped the boat and jumped overboard. That's right, out in the middle the lake for a half hour swim.

Kids loved it.

The thing Niki and I really took away from the experience was how important it is to embrace life and 'just go'. We didn't overthink the decision to go, we were prepared, and then adapted to what the conditions dictated.

Sure, you can stay home 'cause you're not sure what life will give you if you head out, or you can get ready, go, and see what happens.

We're here to remind you that sometimes good things happen.

Like a mid-lake swim.
