Have great day, Mom!!!
BTW: I do get confused whether Steve's birthday is 7/29 while Mom's is 7/31 or is it the other way around. The comment made on the birthday pic adds to my confusion.
As with memories, I always love independent confirmation.

Is that me in that birthday picture?
You would think I could recognize myself... I believe I am the kid that is highlighted by the red arrow. Is that me, Tim E.? (cool rhyming mini sentence, almost Dr. Seuss like).

Updates on another Everett Site
If you haven't noticed, there has been an update to Dale's Site
BTW: Steve, it seems like the link to the soccer pictures are based off your local hard drive instead of being relative.

Recent Movie Reviews
Explanation of Star Rating:
5 Stars: Amazing movie, would watch it every time I happened to see it on TV.
4 Stars: Top notch movie, exceed expectations
3 Stars: Solid enjoyment/entertainment
2 Stars: OK movie, wished it was better, didn't meet expectations
1 Stars: Hated it, upset that I spent money on it.
BTW: In my system, there is no half star... If you have half stars, then why not quarter stars, and on and on
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl:
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines:
Finding Nemo:
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle:
The Hulk:
The Matrix Reloaded:
The best movie in the last month hands down is Pirates. I didn't have high hopes for this movie. The idea of basing a movie off of a ride didn't sound like it would make for good entertainment but they pulled it off and more.
The movie included many scenes that was very familiar to fans of the ride, but was done in a low key manner. A friend of mine has never been on the ride, and had no clue that certain scenes were homages (if that is the right word) to the ride. I found that a little odd, but I guess not everybody has been fortunate to have been to Disney World twice (thanks Sandy and Bryce) and to Disneyland at least 5 times (thanks to Steve and Sharon for my first visit to Disneyland).
The Hulk was ok, wished more time was spent on simply having a very anger Hulk ripping into things...
A quick ranking of Marvel Superhero movies:
1. Spiderman
2. X2 (the second X-Men movie)
3. X-Men (the first one)
4. Hulk
5. Daredevil

Getting Old (or just Maturing)
What does the title mean? Well...
This summer seems to be the summer of concerts for Samantha and I.
So far we have been to two concerts, with another four concerts on the horizon. The first concert we ended up getting tickets roughly 13 rows from the stage at Shoreline Amphitheatre.
It seems like my musical taste are changing, maybe not changing, but for sure evolving.
The concert headline was Kenny Chesney. Kenny Chesney is a country music version of Jimmy Buffet. He puts on a great show, very high energy. His band included at least 3 guitar players, a couple of drummers, a fiddle player, two piano players, and a person that played the triangle. Ok, there wasn't a triangle player... Kenny looks like a young guy in his cowboy hat, but upon closer observation, I made the determination that he must be in forties.
Also opening for him was Deana Carter and Keith Urban. Two young and upcoming stars in the "hip country music" scene. Sam was very happy because at the end of the concert while the band was playing, all three of them walked across the front of the stage, autographing and shaking hands. Of course, she was right up there in the thick of it.
The most recent concert that we attended was the Dixie Chicks at the HP Pavilion (formely called Compaq Center and informally called the "Shark Tank"). Sam had worked her magic and we ended up 8 rows from the stage. Also a very good concert. My main observation is that the lead singer is short and the other two are very petite.
Sam's highlight of the concert was that after the show finished she was able to get the laminate set list that was on the stage. She also was able to get a few autographs from the band, but not any from a Dixie Chick. BTW: I didn't see a triangle player at that show either.
You know... maybe I am not getting old. A new theory is that my musical tastes are easily influenced. The next show that Sam and I are going to be seeing is Joe Jackson. The previous two shows were influenced by my wife, Samantha. That is very clear to me.
Joe Jackson is an artist that I first heard via Steve. Steve's influence also makes an appearance on the last concert of the summer.
On my birthday, Sam and I hope to get tickets to see the Dead. Essentially the Grateful Dead minus the dead Jerry Garcia. (A Samantha influence for sure)
The very next night, probably with my ears still ringing, we will be seeing Alabama. Initially I thought they were the singers of "Elvira"... but very quickly realized my mistake.
The concert I am looking forward to the most is the last one currently planned... James Taylor. The first time I have ever really paid attention to who he is was because of Steve purchasing his Greatest Hits Album. I remember Steve talking about the "ribbing" he got when he purchased it. Never quite understood that, the album that he should have gotten the most grief on is Air Supply Greatest Hits.
I am getting older (of course) but that isn't changing my musical taste. I have simply been easily influenced... I do owe Steve a lot of credit for keeping me away from bands such as Abba, Village People, or other 70's disco bands.
I am able to resists some influences... Samantha has tried hard to convince me that the Osmond Family and K.C and the Sunshine Bands are good.
I will keep you updated on my search for the triangle player.
