On this page we'll share information about the many things that interest us.  Seen a good movie lately?  Bought a useful tool?  Have some good investment advice?  Read a good book?  Anything!  Just send me an email and I'll post the information.

Movies Seen in the Theatre

Narnia, Prince Caspian  Mom and I saw this with friends.  We all agreed on two points.  One, it is not suited for young kids since it's main story line is a battle... from beginning to end.  Two, we just didn't enjoy it.  What story there was, was hard to follow, unless you're a student of The Narnia Chronicals.

Movies Rented or Bought on DVD

Evening  Meryl Streep, Vanessa Redgrave, and Glen Close make this a good movie.  A dying woman relives part of her youth while on her death bed.  Interesting story and circumstances.  Don't watch it if you're tired.  It might not keep you awake.

Cars

Mom and I are looking for a new car now that we're only a month and a half from moving into the new house.  We did some shopping at dealers and found that they would give us a price of $1,000 above Invoice less any manufacturers rebates.  Sounded pretty good until we went on the Costco website and fed in what we were looking for.  Within an hour a salesman called and quoted us a price of $100 over Invoice less all rebates.  A difference of $900.  We'll update these comments as soon as we meet with the Costco dealer.

Books
