Random Thoughts 6/23/09

• Father's Day was last Sunday and I'm still incredibly thankful for my Dad. I'll still feel that way next week. And the week after. No one in my life has ever been so consistently unselfish and servant-natured.
• The TV show "Heroes" is now dead to me. Writer Bryan Fuller, who wrote the best parts of season one and season three, has left the show again. Fuller is under contract to develop new series for NBC and will not have a day-to-day involvement in "Heroes." It's too bad, there was so much potential for that show.
  
• Hmmm… I think the luster is coming off our President. If he bankrupts us and fails to deal with Iran and North Korea, these numbers are going to get worse.
• Excellent article here about why the North Koreans are so crazy. Maybe they want to get themselves bombed.
  
• Did you like the HBO mini-series "Band of Brothers"? Tom Hanks and Steven Speilberg are doing a companion series called "The Pacific." It's due out in March 2010 and it looks like it'll be pretty good. So far it's shaping up to be the most expensive series ever produced for television and one of the more expensive movies made.
• It's good working with Chris at the church office. He stays on task and works hard.
