The New Musings of a Quiet Geek

I wish all of you a Happy Easter. My mother and I went up to Maine for a long weekend. We tried out our new car. The gas mileage is incredible. I also love the sound system. We saw many people and watched many movies. Let's give a rundown: Good: National Treasure , So-So: The orginal Ocean's 11 , Before Sunset Not Good: Friday Night Lights , The Jerry Lewis classic Cinderfella .
