MacBrave's Journal: Weeknd update + other stuff

The weekend was a pretty good one:

Friday night went to the drive-in movie. The double-feature was Harry Potter: PoA and Catwoman. We went just to watch Harry Potter and left after it was over.
We are fortunate to have a drive-in only about 10 minutes away. It's not big or fancy, a lot of the speakers don't work (everybody listens on their car radios anyway) but otherwise is well maintained. It's 15$ a carload and most everybody brings lawn chairs, blankets, junk food, drinks, etc. Just a good family evening.

Saturday: In the morning got the oil changed on the new van, then went over to my parents to visit. My sister, who lives in Italy, and her husband (an Italian) were back visiting. They just got married in May so have the big 'newlwed' thing going on. It's always good to see them and we have a good time just playing dominoes (this seems to have become the family game lately, trumping euchre), riding bikes, having squirtgun fights, or just hanging out.

Sunday: Ran the video at the early church service, then helped my wife teach Sunday school. After lunch cut down a big limb in the backyard that was starting to touch the house.

Spent some time playing City of Heroes. This is a pretty good MMOG IMHO. I currently have a 8th level science/tanker named 'Super Froob' (my son's idea) and a 4th level mutation/blaster called 'The Carrot Avenger' (my idea). Yesterday joined the tanker up with a group for the first time. Did pretty well, although did get killed when we bit off more then we can chew. Oh well, live and learn. And I haven't gotten tired of the 'leveling treadmill' as some call it. At least not yet....
