Day 748: Jack Ryan

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit = thrills, excitement and fun!  It doesn't matter that it was totally unrealistic or that the chase scenes and break ins were impossible.  We loved Chris Pine as Jack Ryan.  It's set at the beginning of Ryan's career, but in the present.  He doesn't have the gravitas of Harrison Ford in Patriot Games or Clear and Present Danger, but he had the same fire, intelligence and grit.

I so enjoy these escape days because Steve puts an away message on I am Responding so that he is not on call for six hours or so.  He only spoke with Julius once today and we didn't do any backpacking business.  Tomorrow will be a busy day of set construction and cleaning out the costume room.

These are some of my favorite wildlife photos from a trip we took to the Butterfly Conservatory back in the summer of 2004.   They remind me of the beauty of spring.  Even though it was sunny today, the intense cold is on its way back next week.
