I saw the movie today and it meets and exceeds expectations. The visual effects are not to be believed, and Henry Cavill (swoon) has fantastic chemistry with new “Lois Lane” Amy Adams.
Go. Just – go. Great adventure/sci fi/super hero movie. I had a great time. Can’t wait for the next.
AND – Henry Cavill’s “Clark Kent/Superman” is worth the price of admission just to look at him. Oh. My Gawd.

Eleven years ago today, my handsome wonder dog Bruno came into this world.
I can’t imagine life without “the Brun.” It’s hard to believe he hasn’t been a part of my life before 2002. He’s a great dog, a great friend, and me makes me feel like we’re more best friends than something like pet and owner – a phrase that feels distasteful to even write.
On top on his amazing qualities, he’s also a dad. At the age of one, he and our beautiful Sabrina gave us “the puppies,” who are all still with us today. And he’s been a great dad to the puppies from the first day he saw them.
I made the above video within days of Bruno becoming a part of my life. He’s just as spunky and confident today as he was then.
Happy happy birthday, Bruno! And Happy Father’s Day! You rock!

“Being a good parent, whether you’re gay or straight, a foster parent or a grand parent, isn’t easy. It demands your constant attention, frequent sacrifice, and of course a healthy dose of patience.
“And nobody’s perfect – I’m still trying to be a better husband to my wife and a better father to my kids. And I want to do everything I can as President to encourage strong marriages and strong families.

“When I look back on my life, I won’t be thinking about any particular legislation I passed or policy I promoted. I’ll be thinking about Michelle, and the journey we’ve been on together.
” I’ll be thinking about Sasha’s dance recitals and Malia’s tennis matches – about the conversations we’ve had and the quiet moments we’ve shared.
