Random Thoughts

Random thought #1 - What the heck is going on with the rental movies recently. The last 2 weeks there have been crap! The last good rental we had was Apacalypto, but there isn't much else. For people that rent 2 to 3 movies a week, we count on decent rentals. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch. Of course this has given us a chance to watch some movies from our DVD's from our collection. We recently watched the Matrix trilogy for the first time in years.

Random thought #2 - Could you imagine walking your dog along the street and humming your favorite tune in your head while thinking about how perfect the day is. When all of the sudden a dog crashes through a 6 1/2 foot tall wooden fence and begins attacking your dog. This recently happened, except Buddha was the attacker. I was in the backyard playing with the kids, I think he was protecting his family. Both dogs were fine, the other dogs owner was a bit shaken. Animal Control came out and seemed a bit more concerned that Buddha wasn't registered, than the fact that he busted out of a fence and attacked a dog.

Random thought #3 - My best friends are all getting pregnant. Nick and his wife.....knocked up. Another VERY good friend and his wife are knocked up (but it is a secret that I'm not supposed to share).....Maybe it's a sign that Bridget and I should have baby #3? She doesn't think so, she says it isn't a sign...I disagree.

Random thought #4 - My marathon training is going very well. I talked to a friend who has completed a few marathons, she said my times are right on track to meet my goal of a 4 hour marathon. My day to day feelings are that there is no chance I'll hit that mark, but when I look back at my times from the first weeks of training my times are getting faster! Maybe there is hope! This weekend I hope to return to park city to run my long run, this weekend it backs off a bit (only 9 miles).

Sean and I haven't seen anything good recently either. Although I'm enjoying netflix. Definately cheaper than the movie store since we can never return movies on time. I've added a bunch of old films to our queue plus you can get tv shows a disc at a time.

Did Buddha actually attack the other dog? OR just growl?

And I'm going to side with Bridget on this one. Not a sign. Your friends just want Sydney and Aiden to have playmates! Besides you only have two arms! Are you planning on growing a third one?

Way to go on the marathon training! Keep up the good work!

We used to have Netflix as well. It was nice, but we found Redbox to be a cheaper alternative. They don't have all of the new releases, but they have most of them for $1 a night.

Sadly Buddha did "attack" the other dog. I didn't see any of it since I was sprinting around the house to get him. There was no puncture marks, only a scratch. Not that it makes it any better, but I really think he was protecting his family.
