 “Mid-Life Indy” Cedar Park, 2023

Today I re-watched “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” since I hadn’t seen it since it came out in theaters way back in 2008. I enjoyed it then, and was curious if I would still feel the same way. And yes, I think it’s a fun movie! I was surprised that I found Mutt Williams kind of an interesting character and Shia Labeouf did a pretty good job playing him.

What was kind of neat is that after seeing Harrison Ford in Dial of Destiny, he looked so young in Crystal Skull! I need to re-watch Temple of Doom now, and then I will be able to rate the Indy films from best to worst (for my own curiosity).

 “Popcorn” Austin, 2023

Today we saw “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny“. It was so fun! I’ve enjoyed all the Indy movies, and this one didn’t stray from the tried-and-true formula. The car chases were great, and I loved the sound effects. They were very “Indy-esque”!

As you can see in today’s blurry photo, I got a big bowl of “bottomless” popcorn. I usually finish the first, and eat about half of the second bowl, but today I just had the single. I even had my re-order paper ready to go, but I was just too full!

 “Clouds Over Trail” Cedar Park, 2023

After days of clear skies, we were treated to a beautiful display of amazing clouds. It made today’s run much more fun!

And I noticed that a new bicycle maintenance thing-a-mo-bob was installed on the trail too. How cool is that?

 “Fried Chicken Dinner” Cedar Park, 2023

Today we celebrated my son’s birthday with a double-fried chicken dinner. One plate of regular Japanese karaage, and another plate with a sauce poured on top. Both were delicious!

And we also had a yummy Niçoise salad and cheese board. We ate so much! 😄
