Seventeen days. Shame on me.

“Bridget Jones’ Baby” is stupid beyond belief, but the cast is so engaging that the end result is pretty watchable anyway. We enjoyed it, in spite of the brain cells that committed suicide during the movie.

“The Magnificent Seven” is a worthy remake. It is not without problems, but it is still wonderful. The old saw was that the US western frontier was the perfect setting for movies, and this movie seems to validate the argument.

Got up to Lake Andrea on the 26th, finally. Only did one lap of the lake due to wind, but it would have been a shame to let the season end without running Andrea at least once; I still regard it as my home lake.

Spent all summer trying to figure out how to fix the leak in the porch floor/ garage roof, finally figured out a mode of attack, and found out that things had gotten much worse in the meantime. Did some emergency repair, still working a long term solution. Grrr.
