Misfiring Neurons

Weekend update

This has been one of my busier weekends in a long while. Friday I went and saw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I was very pleased to see that Warner Brothers had picked such a capable director for the third installment of the series. Alfonso Cuarón really showcased his talent here. The lighting was brilliant, the transitions seamless, and a very complex story line was handled with grace and precision. I was really blown away and can’t wait for number four. On Saturday we made a trip up to Gatlinburg Tennessee to visit the Ripley’s aquarium. It was very impressive. The main attraction was a central tank that housed a variety of species of sharks. There was an underwater tunnel that circled the tank, which provided some of excellent close up views. Also, on Saturday, I learned that President Reagan had passed. I was saddened to learn of his death, but relieved at the same time. I have seen people suffering from chronic illnesses and it is very sad to see people pass away one little piece at a time. He was a very good man, and the world will be a lesser place without him.
