I went to Boston this weekend and was faced with a common traveling dilemma. Not wanting to check any baggage (emotional or otherwise), at the airport I had on my person at all times my usual items of import for a weekend trip:

• my backpack (containing my laptop and important work-related materials, like comic books)
• my duffle bag (containing clothes and a baggie of 3-oz containers of various liquids and gels that I do not need but bring anyway because they are very cute in their child-size packages and snuggled all together in their baggie blanket)

You are dark, love gadgets
and have vowed to help the innocent
not suffer the pain you have endured.

A friend of mine forwarded this to me a while ago. I don't know who authored it, but it is highly amusing.

So I saw Superman Returns on Wednesday with my brother and nephew at the IMAX theater in Grand Rapids. Several scenes were in 3D, which makes this probably the first 3D movie I've seen in decades. Actually, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a 3D movie at a theater before...I just remember seeing a couple on TV as a kid. The local TV station distributed/sold the glasses at 7-Eleven or something.

Sometime this week I'll probably go see Superman Returns with my older brother Garry and his son (my nephew) Allen.
