Winn Dixie

I know I will get slammed by my deep thinking brothers and sisters, but I loved Because of Winn Dixie. This is a story adapted from a Newbery Award-winning children's book. I loved the cast, especially Opal, the 10-year-old that the story revolved around. Dave Matthews was cool in his role. OK, I will really put myself out there - I cried like a baby (sitting next to Will Penner). I had Vicki and my daughter 19-year-old Jessica pick me up the next day at the airport and we went straight to AMC so I could see it with my girls on either side of me. I cried again. There you go... Let the mocking commence.

If you weren't married, you'd be grounded too. Anyway, Backstreet Boys are so yesterday... I'm into Chemical Romance...

I love it - I'm laying in my bed, laughing out loud, reading this to Mimi - who, by the way, saw this movie with my daughter (who read the book) and raved and raved and raved about it. I'm going to go and see it, too. Let the waterworks commence. Jessica and Daniel rock, but not in a Ashlee Simpson/Backstreet Boys kind of way. Big grins.

Mike...dude...I can't believe you ratted me out online, bro!

Just kidding; actually, I thought the movie was fabulous. Of course, Mike and I are both kinda sappy, so I guess it makes sense that we like it. Some really cool spiritual themes in it, though. And great father-daughter moments. And community at its finest. "...and a little child shall lead them..."
