Movie Night

Aimee and I were at a friend's house to watch the Oscar ceremony.

They have a few people over each year. We probably wouldn't watch the show if we weren't over there eating their food.

As usual, we hadn't seen any of the nominated movies. The only film we saw last year was The Dark Knight (in CT with Mims and Elaine).

We like to watch movies, it just takes a while before we get around to seeing the ones that everyone else already saw a long time ago. Kristen gave us an AMC gift card for Christmas. One of these times we will be getting out to use that.

Court Duty

This week I was summoned to go to court for jury duty.
No jurors were needed for Monday so I didn't have to go in. But Tuesday, I was there first thing in the morning with about 100 other potential jurors.
The court we went to is used for civil cases and that day there were two that were scheduled to begin.
The one I was selected for got settled right before we were called into the court. The other one was continued until a later day.
All of the jurors were dismissed and cleared of duty for at least another year.
We were home by lunchtime.

Moving Rooms

Our re-modeling work is done for now. We have a brand new bathroom that Aimee designed and it turned out quite nicely. Now we are busy moving into the bedroom adjacent to that bathroom and re-situating the other two rooms as well.
Fortunately, the shelves are up in the garage and we have a place to put things now (including parking both cars in the garage).

This week brought another round of lay-offs at Aimee's firm. Work has slowed down a bit there and they couldn't afford to keep everybody on board. Aimee is in good shape but the company would really like to see business pick up.
