Run / Walk in Sept or Oct

This is in the very early stages, but Melissa and I wanted to plan a small weekend trip somewhere to run/ walk a 5k. Our idea was something motivating to get us / keep us working out. We figured if we committed to doing something for a cause, in another city, we would be motivated and excited to participate. Then my mom suggested we invite the whole family. I have narrowed down a few races I think could be fun. I thought since everyone may not be able to attend I picked some that have corresponding races in another city. This way everyone can participate, but we may be split into groups. Most of the races you can form a team and you raise money. Aunt Kathy pointed out Grandma would like to do something under Grandpa's name. Give me feedback. What cause, dates, or whatever works best. Also, I think it woud be fun if every 3-4 months we do something similar (physical and for a cause).

James McAndrew

I'm not sure how many of you will find this interesting, but I certainly did. I have to start by saying that I find journaling to be the most amazing hobby and I just finished reading through a journal I kept for all 4 years of college. It was quite entertaining and was shocked about some of the decisions I've made and the experiences I have had over the past coupld of years. Maybe it will provide insight on my life to others down the road when I'm famous or atleast i'm related to someone famous, haha. Anyway, I've been reading through James McAndrew's journal, which has been very interesting and I thought I should type it up so it could be shared with others. His journal was much more insightful than mine. Feel free to take a look at what I call his "March of thoughts".

48 Hour Film Project

This weekend Leeman, his business partner, some friends, and I participated in the 48 hour film project. On Friday at 7pm we turned in a form and picked a genre out of a hat (Hoilday film), then we had till Sunday at 7pm to write, film, and edit a 4-6 minute movie. If you want to watch it click on the link http://youtube.com/watch?v=uzO0GevElBQ . Leeman made an extended version (because of the 6 minute limit we had to cut some scenes that were pretty funny). If you only watch one watch this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHWH6xf3NGk
Anyway we will be hanging out in Ft. Laud August 3rd and 4th and I thought it would be fun to film a short movie while there. Leeman and I drew a genre yesterday for the film and it is: Film de Femme (basically the lead will be a powerful women like Erin Brokovich). We plan on writing it prior to arriving so it won't take soo long to film. Let me know if you have any ideas or would like to be in the cast and/or crew.
