the weekend

On Saturday I skipped the canoeing and headed to IKEA with my sister-in-law. Frankly I was in awe of the store. It was so huge and filled with really interesting ideas. I didn't end up buying anything, as I didn't go there with all the relevant measurements, but I am sure that the Sandnes shoe cabinet is in my future. The crowds were a bit unreal. It felt more like the Minnesota State Fair than a retailer.

After IKEA, I hit the baseball game which was more fun than usual.

Sunday was a day for a quiet brunch, afternoon nap followed by a screening of The Notebook. My wife had already seen it twice, and was completely taken by the movie. I thought it was a very sweet romantic movie. Anyone who has really been in love, or wishes they were in love, and likes the idea of love lasting for a lifetime should see this movie. I haven't read the book, so I can't tell you what I thought on the book versus movie issue. Really it was a very nice movie.
