we took apart about half of the backyard deck yesterday.  A ton of sand in the yard where the pool was.  Well, probably a few ton, no joke.  Mom wants to take the far back part and make a patio out of it.  Then, the neighbors were saying they'd take it to extend their deck.  Even Emily asked "why? where would they put it?"  Who knows.  I don't want it though.  Got rid of all of the pool equipment, got $70 for the metal from the pool.  

STar Trek (2009) - probably the perfect action flick.  Everything that happens has a purpose, the dialogue isn't always shallow, and the characters have motivations.  Good stuff.  I got 2/3 of the way through before work tonight.  I imagine Strek Trek 2 is just as good.
