Not sure how many of you are into Western movies or if you’ve seen Lonesome Dove.
One of the stations was showing Lonesome Dove over two weekends — Parts one and two this past weekend and then the final two parts will be shown this weekend.
I own it on DVD, however, so I decided to watch the final parts on my own and I finished it earlier tonight.
If you like Western movies and haven’t seen Lonesome Dove, I would highly suggest you see it. Originally a miniseries on TV, it’s about 6 hours and change long. But, if you break it up a little, it’s a great watch.
The book, by Larry McMurtry, is well worth a read, too.
What I really dig about this movie is that I originally read the book in college and then watched the series for the first time with my father. It’s one thing I shared with him a bunch of times, so it’s nice to sit back and watch the move.
If you all have the chance to watch it — do so. It’s worth it.
Watching now
As a Jim Carrey fan, I had yet to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I’m about 35-40 minutes into the flick and I have to say, it’s pretty wild. I’m going to enjoy the rest of this for sure.
Snow
Apparently there’s a winter storm coming this way tomorrow. Thankfully, I have the day off, so I won’t have to worry about driving in it (if it does arrive).
The weather is showing 4-8 inches is possible. Well, I’ll get a workout with shoveling. Maybe I’ll go take a walk during the day and try and do some photography, if indeed the snow does come. I could use some good photos for the photo blog.
Caching stuff
So I’m planning some caching trips (I hope anyway).
Pending the weather, I’m hoping to go somewhere this Saturday and do some caching. Not looking for a number day, but wouldn’t mind getting a bunch of hits. We’ll see how the weather pattern goes.
The following weekend, Dec. 20, there’s a caching event in my area in the morning. Later that day, we’re attempting to plan our softball team party. Hopefully I can finalize some of those things Thursday.
That Sunday (21st), I’m supposed to head to Philly with Darren for a couple of days. He needs to hit there for work, but will have free time, so I’m going to go along for the ride, hopefully take some photos and do some geocaching.
In between Christmas and New Year’s, me and my brother are going to Jersey to visit our aunt and uncle and hopefully get some caching done there, too.
I also have a travel bug I want to release when in Philly. I also have to finalize one and send it Trip so he has it in time for his Travel Bug race, for which I’m entering.
What else is going on?
Well, the yearly book has been done for a bit. Can’t wait to see it. Went smaller this year and had to cut photos, but I like how it turned out. Didn’t lean on sports photos, either, which is always good.
I need to figure my Christmas shopping, too. I don’t have to buy a lot this year (and can’t really afford a ton), but I have to do the shopping I need to get done. Still want to see if I can do it online, but I have to see what people want before I can do so.
As much as I like the holidays, getting prepared for them is tough!
Anyway, that’s about it for now.
More later!
