End of the long weekend

Well, Fred is back "home" in Carlisle now. We had a great visit but one that was way too brief. This is the last time he'll be in Kentucky until Christmas. We will meet in Florida over fall break and in Alabama for Thanksgiving. I'll join him on his class trip to NYC the week before Thanksgiving, but this was it for him and Knox for a while.

Mike is recovering nicely. For some reason, the lower right side seems to be giving him more pain than any of the others. I still say this has been way easier than I had expected.

He spent part of the weekend working on a project for his AP English class. They had to make movie posters for books that they read over the summer--figure out who would play whom, who would direct, etc. He chose to do Angela's Ashes, which of course already IS a movie, but his dream cast featured Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet as the parents and Freddie Highmore and a young Rupert Grint as Frank and Malachy, Jr:



He found a really cool utility online for printing his poster. At Blockposters.com, you can upload an image file and then download a multi-paged PDF of that image, which you then piece together to create a really big poster. His wound up being 2 pages wide and just a little over 2 pages long.
