man of steel: a synopsis.

:::spoiler alert:::

Visually astounding sci-fi sequence; parents send son to Earth with the genetic code of their race embodied within the lad. Or something. Debate over the peasants' acceptance of said son's abilities. Ship him out anyway because, like, plot progression and imploding planet.

Fast forward some-odd years later and son enters the scene with visually astounding abilities in the general bicep area.


Me and Cara:




Clarence:



Some minor stuff happened and then the movie pretty much ended and Cara and I just walked out of the theater like




Clarence:



He just can't take us anywhere.

We just can't take him anywhere.

this one goes out to cara.

When my co-workers come into my office laughing about the mess they've made and ask IR (my department) to clean it up:

winter music.

Among my many Scrooge-y traits is the fact that I don't like Christmas music--very rarely do I enjoy the overblown offerings that accompany the holiday season. Making the short list of things that I will listen to is Gustav Holst and...that's about all that comes to mind right now. Add to the list of approved music this playlist, and I'm thinking maybe I can stomach listening to "Mary, Did You Know?" at least once this year.

Or at least halfway through.
I do have my limits.

i love this lad.

Can a baby be your best friend? If he's Baby Rhett, then yes. Here he is rockin' his robot shirt I bought him.

Labor Day.

Ironically, the day that absolutely no work is done. This year was pretty laid back for our family. Cara, Clarence, Baby Rhett and I (it was just the four of us since mom and dad opted instead to do some rich guy thing with the Park City Parade of Homes...whatever) drove up to Silver Lake after having lunch at Rumbi and just walked around. Crazily enough, the leaves are already changing on the mountain. Hello, my most precious falltime!

Adventure Rhett was snuggled in his new carrier. He's such a good baby and it's hard to believe he's only 4 months. He seems so much older sometimes in the way he acts and how strong he is. It's also hard to believe that he spent the first week of his life in the NICU.

Anyway, after Silver Lake we drove over the treacherous precipice that is Guardsmans Pass and down into Midway. We stopped and got some tasty shakes at Timp Freeze before heading home through Park City. I should also mention that I saw the cutest little house that desperately needs some love and attention.

All in all, a beautiful fun day completely devoid of work!

The Precious Young Man strikes again.

Just...go to here.

this is just a tribute.

all i can think about this week.

THIS HAS TO HAPPEN TODAY. Come on, London.
