Waterbeds suck, honestly. They're great for people who have a very consistent body temp and don't have a partner. Get warm or cold in the middle of the night? Tough, it takes ages to change the temp of a huge mass of water. Partner with a different comfort zone? Too bad.

    Adult kids took me to the movies for Father's Day. They picked The Life of Chuck, which I knew zero about. Most of the coming attractions trailers were horror movies, so I was a little worried because I wasn't wanting to get super stressed.

    This movie is delightful and clever and has a lot of heart. If you've seen it, did you agree?

    Since this is a movie that is much better to go into not knowing much, please put discussion of any plot points under a spoiler tag.

    Notice how so many christians will say that the problem with the world is a lack of emphasis on god (which is why we need prayer in school, etc.), but the vast majority of these murderers are conservative christians?

    Christy Walton has been outspoken and supportive of the movement, but I haven't seen evidence that she's bankrolling it. She for sure doesn't speak for the company, which is more conservative.

    I couldn't be available for the first half of out local one (SoCal), and had to stay phone accessible for the second half, but I drive through it. Honestly, the turnout was insane. I saw the huge crowd at the intersection where it was supposed to be, and thought it was really impressive. Then I drove through it and the crowd was just thicker and thicker as I went - it went for blocks. My friend went and he said it was a great experience - everyone was peaceful. Lots of cops, but just being present they way they should be when there are thousands of people on the street.

    Hopefully this time there's more news coverage. This AP story is a good start.
