Paradise Pt.2

I meant to write yesterday but I forgot. By the way you can check out the "Northern Estate" where Jackie and I are spending time this week by clicking HERE.

Sunday night Jackie and I watched "Rome" on HBO. I had heard there was a lot of nudity in the show but I didn't think there was, too bad. I thought it was a really good show and we saw the first two episodes. Unfortunately we don't have HBO at home so those are the only two episodes that we will see until it comes out on DVD.

Yesterday Jack and I went to Sault St. Marie. I bought another book on Leonardo Da Vinci and a "Recording" magazine. We also went to the "Dollar Tree" where we struggled in vain to find a copy of "Gamera vs. Monster X" on DVD. Norm and Sass bought it while they were up here and we watched it. It is one of the greatest films in the history of cinema. While in the Soo we ate at Clyde's hamburger place. Both Jack's parents and her Aunt and Uncle told us that we had to check out Clyde's for their big burger. Well they weren't kidding. We split the hamburger between us because it was really big. Good stuff.

We also visited with Jack's Aunt Barb and Uncle Dennis for a while last night. It was nice to relax a little and talk with them. They also have a beautiful place up here. You can check out their website by clicking HERE.

We watched "Rome: Engineering An Empire" last night on the history channel. While Jackie has always been interested in ancient Rome for it's political power struggles, I have always been interested in it's inventions and engineering feats. The show on the History Channel centered on the design and construction of the aquaducts, the Coliseum, the Parthenon, and other structures.

I tried all weekend to receive a pirate broadcast on the shortwave radio. I figured that Labor Day weekend would be a great time to hear a pirate but I heard nothing. Damn Pirates.

I mentioned that I had brought my Martin acoustic guitar up here. Yesterday Jackie and I sat by the creek and I played old country songs while she read. It was really nice.

Tonight we are going to sit on the beach, look at the stars, and drink some alcohol.
