best picture showcase 2010 – day 2

March 7th, 2010 Neil No comments

Saturday was Day 2 of AMC’s Best Picture Showcase. Daniel, however, was unable to attend due to a scheduling conflict at work. I met my friend and his sister at the First Watch restaurant for breakfast in Chesterfield. I had myself a Far West omelette; pretty tasty, and if I may add, no upset stomach this week.

best picture showcase 2010 – day 1

February 28th, 2010 Neil No comments

After the announcement was made that the Academy Awards would have 10 Best Picture nominees this year, there was speculation on whether AMC Theaters would continue their Best Picture Showcase. Well, I’m happy to see they are; they decided to show the 10 films over the span of 2 Saturdays. Yesterday, I took Daniel and his friend to the theaters in Chesterfield Mall. In previous years, we’ve gone to the AMC in West Olive; the folks there have always done a great job. But we chose Chesterfield based on the movie schedule; the mall also provides us with a food court, which was a nice bonus.

19 to 20 months

19 to 20 months
So far, 2010 has proven to be a very busy year. I’m involved with the biggest project of my career (new clinical system for the hospital), and it’s dictating a very hectic, chaotic, and at times, frantic pace. CL is also working a crazy schedule; not a lot of time is spent together. Unfortunately, I’ve not taken advantage of these few moments to take pictures. We did have the good fortune of taking Sophia to her first Disney show, Disney Live! Mickey’s Rockin’ Road Show at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis yesterday. It was a test to see if Sophia is ready for these kinds of shows as well as a prep for our planned trip to Walt Disney World later this year. We weren’t sure if it would be too loud, or if the occasional darkness would be scary, or if she would be intimated by all the people. Turns out, the answers are “no”, “no”, and “no”! Sophia loved every bit of it. She recognized most of the characters, and she danced and clapped with enthusiasm. Click on her picture for her latest photo set including those from the Disney show.

Holidays 2009
Instead of having the usual monthly photo set, I’m posting our holiday photos. Of course, the bulk of these photos are of Sophia. She thoroughly enjoyed her 2nd Christmas. Also included in this set are some of her Christmas portraits. Click on Sophia’s image above to view the set.

Click on the image above for the latest photos of Sophia. Sorry, but just too busy to include any real blog update. To post more entries will probably be a New Year’s resolution for me (carried over from the last several years, of course).
