January 13th

I know it's the 14th, but yesterday was a very important day, Well, first it's the official countdown to the wedding - 365 (well now, 364) days till our happy nuptials. Guess that means that I actually have to start really working on things.

The other important thing about today is it's a special anniversary. 20 years ago, young adults all over the globe were told "life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around, you might miss it". Yes, ladies and gentlemen Ferris Bueller taught us all that skipping a day of school could be the best day of your life.

I love John Hughes films. An FBDO after 20 years, if you ignore the white fringe leather jacket and cowboy boots, doesn't really feel very dated. And there is still so much wisdom, like the line above, that came out of it. Ok, maybe wisdom isn't the right word, but it certainly puts things in perspective.

So, since this weekend's gonna be kinda uky - weather wise, maybe it's a good time to hunker down with a copy and see what Abe Frohman, Cameron and the rest are up to.

I remember the first time I watched that film. It was at Stephen Poles' house after we had finished our sixth grade science fair project.

That's right... 6th grade.
