Is That Andy?

Walk the Line. C minus. Everyone talked this movie up like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well, I’ll be the first to break it to you, this movie is sub-par. Hope you all enjoy it more than I did. It’s worth paying $1.50 for, but if I had to pay $8.95, I’d be a little t.o.’d. But, I was with this amazing girl and that makes it all the better….and, we didn’t get shot up by a bunch of hooligans while watching the movie, so that’s good, too.

The fam came up this weekend, that was good times. I’s pretty excited and Benson lived up to the usual Benson expectations: laughter and good times. Yes.

I am going to Pittsburgh for a weeklong get-together with my good buddies and good friends of yesteryear. Dang, I miss those people.

Today I thought of something to do that was out of the ordinary, update my 40×40. For those of you who don’t know what a 40×40 is, it’s a list of forty things that you want to do before you turn forty years old. [40×40 is pronounced forty-by-forty.] So, here it is, Andy Clark’s 40×40, version 3. [links will open in new window, to provide further explination]
