Awake much earlier than expected on this fine Saturday morning. Might as well go for a run…

My brief review of Star Trek Into Darkness:
Definitely my favorite Trek film, although I didn’t really care for any of the pre-Abrams films (or the TV shows for that matter). The plotting was very tight, much more so than the 2009 film, and the acting was great, especially Benedict Cumberbatch, who not only has the most British name in the world, but also the coolest voice for a sci-fi villain.

I bought a new utility knife tonight, healing because my old one got lost.
I had trouble opening the packaging on the new one without using the old one.
And within two minutes of finally getting it open, I sliced my thumb ON THE HANDLE.

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, Sheri Rhine. Thanks for always being there for me and loving me no matter what.

And to my mother-in-law, Mary Anne Becker, who has managed to pretend to like me for the past couple decades.

Most of all to my wife, Jen Rhine. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to raise my kids. I love you, Jen!

It will soon be one year since the last time I had a soda with artificial sweetener. And I don’t feel any better yet. Maybe a Diet Dr Pepper would help.
