It's true.
Diet wise, this was not a wonderful weekend. But everything else was.
We had a wonderful day on Friday. We celebrated by a trip to Chamblin Bookmine in Jacksonville. It's a huge used bookstore that is almost cave like in it's meandering stacks of books and little nooks and crannies. You can get lost in there, and to me, that's the highest praise one can give a bookstore. Our haul was about as much as we had ever gotten there, with the whole family indulging.
We went to see Wonder Woman, at a 3D XD screen, with stadium seating and reclining lounge seats. It was a great experience, but it wasn't as wonderful as the movie we watched. Wonder Woman was one of those rare pitch perfect introductions to a character, one that took the best interpretations of a super heroine that had been written about for 75 years. I loved not only the interpretation of Wonder Woman, but also the World War One setting. The actress did so much to make Wonder Woman a flesh and blood character that we could love, admire and appreciate, that I feel it is going to be criminal when this film is completely ignored at the Oscars. Gal Gadot and the Director, Patty Jenkins, deserve Oscars. They will not get them.
Then we ate at The Cheesecake Factory. I did not see Sheldon. I got something called Chicken Parmigiana Pizza Style. I did not realize how huge it was, with the crust being made of breaded chicken coated in Parmesan and herbs, topped with mozzarella and other cheeses, and fettuccine noodles, It was incredible. I would show you a picture, but it was etted on before I could think of it. Showing my food on Facebook or other places is not my forte.
Benjamin started a week at camp Sunday. We let him drive to get us there. He did very well. It was his longest stretch of driving to date. We're not rushing him on getting a license. That will come after more experience, and we all decide he is ready. Unlike some kids in our area, Benjamin is not getting his own car. You won't see pictures of him standing next to his own new vehicle. Sorry, but the Strait way concentrates more on college than cars.
Trump continues to be a huge embarrassment and, more importantly, a huge danger. His incompetence is hurting our standing in the world, and endangering our citizens. There is no more excuse to stick with him, Trumpeteers. He's never going to do whatever it is you thought he was going to do. You got conned. It's okay. It happens to all of us. Now, however, is the time to own up to your mistake, and help us move on to Mike "The Handmaid's Tale" Pence, or Paul "Ayn Rand" Ryan. You see? What are you afraid of? Unless there is a special election, which is about as likely as a zombie outbreak, no liberal can do you harm. At least until 2018.
Until next time,
T. M. Strait
