Charlie's home!
Aug. 22nd, 2006 05:55 pmCharlie came home from his grandparents house today. He had a grand time. He went to the beach, where he boogie boarded, and last night they went to the boardwalk, and he went on the slingshot ride all by himself.
For his birthday, my parents gave him Heelys. They are a lot harder to use than I thought they'd be, but he loves them. We will be practising with them.
In other news, I think I got my husband into Life on Mars, which is nice. It is always more fun if someone enjoys something with one, and so far we don't see eye-to-eye on most shows.
Every time I watch that show I think of the parallels between Sam Tyler and Sam Vimes. Both are very honest policemen who find themselves transported back 30 years to a time when the police force was a lot more corrupt than it is in their day, and they both find they must do the job that is in front of them before they can get home.
Obviously I don't think there is any deliberate parallel, After all, Sam Vimes doesn't have Creepy Test Pattern Girl and Sam Tyler doesn't have a Monk of Time, (although I wonder about the bartender) but it's amusing to compare.
Must go sort out dinner now.
