Non-conformist
My favorite actor is Jeff Goldblum.
I know this is the reason that I like Jurrasic Park and Independence Day so much. Before you ask, I have not really seen anything else that Jeff Goldblum is in. Am I a true fan if I've not saught out to see "The Fly" or other Jeff Goldblum flicks. I think so.
I like Jeff for many reasons. He's tall, he stutters, he's quirky, seems happy in real life, and I think he gets mocked a lot; so I'm going to stay by his side. I also really enjoy how he talks.
I watched Jurrasic Park the night before I got married. I can't help but think that on some deep level I was saying goodbye to Jeff. Luke was now going to be occupying so much of my admiration, but I have to admit, there's still a place in my heart for Jeff. Last night when I watched Jurrasic Park again (still enjoy it just as much as when I saw it on TV for the first time) I couldn't help but think that there were not nearly enough scenes with Jeff Goldblum. The movie could have been so much better. If only Dr. Hammond would have listened to Dr. Ian Malcom. Jeff was sooo right. "Life finds a way." Well put, Jeff. Well put.
Please enjoy a video I found of Jeff selling the Apple Computer back in the 90's.

I got served
Today I received a subpoena from a very cordial gentleman. He came to my room at school and said, "You've been served." No, he didn't say that specifically, but I wish he would have. So, I got served. I've had two boys, in different years, in my classroom that now have parents going through a divorce. Their mom wanted me to come to court and testify to how good of a mom she is. Their father wants custody. For what it's worth, I think she should keep the kids. Unfortunately, I won't get to to go to court as planned until a few more months from now because there is no judge available for the original date. I was kinda excited to do something new. Sigh...
