less than a year to go
Well, the big day is now less than a year away. On August 15, 2009 I’ll be a married man… I can’t wait!
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost been a year since Stef and I got engaged, and even crazier to think that we’ll hit our four-year anniversary on Thursday. As they say, time flies…

tough week for the fam
It was quite a week for the Pohl family: Dad wound up in the emergency room, Stef came down with strep, and my cousin Jennifer got in a car accident. Thankfully, everyone is okay, but here’s hoping August gets off on the right foot.

weekend update: police edition
07.28.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI think the overall verdict is that Saturday was basically a perfect summer day – I did some canvassing for work with Tom in the morning, got to spend time out at the lake with Stef’s family later in the afternoon, had a wonderful meal with the Spiro clan (plus my dad and Sherry) that evening, and enjoyed a fabulous concert at Pine Knob. Here are some pictures from the Police concert:

why so serious?
07.19.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsAbout two years ago, after it was announced that Heath Ledger would be playing The Joker in the next Batman movie, I asked the following question: ”how can anyone possibly fill Jack Nicholson’s shoes as the best villain of all-time?”
I was skeptical about all the early Oscar buzz surrounding Dark Knight, and I know there’s a lot of time left before the nominations come out, but at this point I would be disappointed if Heath Ledger and the film itself didn’t get nominated for Academy Awards.
After seeing the movie this weekend, I can honestly say that Heath’s take on The Joker is right up there with Hannibal Lecter among the best film villain performances of all-time. Of course, I’ll always have a soft spot for Nicholson’s Joker, but he’s about as threatening as Barney next to Ledger’s version in this new movie.
Here are a couple pictures of Stefy and me at dinner right before showtime. I think we’re both ready to go see this thing a second time…

weekend update
I’m too tired/lazy to write much right now, but we had another wonderful weekend at Stef’s cousin Anne and Mike’s wedding shower. Here are a few pictures from the festivities:

4th of july photo update
After working more than ten and a half hours today (with about five minutes of down time), I’m going to dispense with the usual weekend update and just post photos from our 4th of July weekend at the cottage. Lots of fun was had by all:

weekend update
Hey, anyone remember when I had enough free time to post on this blog almost every day? Me neither. Here are a few highlights from the weekend.
Friday: For some dumb reason I felt compelled to buy a Little Caesar’s Hot ‘n Ready pizza for dinner. This is a mistake I will not repeat again any time soon. Other than the bad pizza, there wasn’t much to report on from this night… just some down time in front of the TV.
Saturday: I slept in past 9 a.m. for the first time in I don’t know how long. Most of the morning was spent lying around the house, before finally getting up and around for a town hall with the boss in Charlotte. We had a pretty decent turnout at the event, and even though our opponent’s campaign manager was there (which was a little weird), I thought it went well.
Stef arrived at my place later that afternoon after spending the day out at the lake with the Southers family. By the time she got there we pretty much had to turn around and leave for Brian’s barbecue. We had a few raindrops while we were there and the mosquitos went to town on my legs, but other than that we had a really fun time. Brian always has a good crowd at his events.
Sunday: We did a little shopping at Target before grabbing lunch at Max & Erma’s on our way to see Wall•E yesterday afternoon. For a story about a robot living on a deserted planet with very little dialogue, this was honestly one of the best love stories I’ve ever seen in a movie. I keep waiting for Pixar to come out with a dud, but so far they’re still batting 1.000.
Last night we decided to experiment in the kitchen by making homemade guacamole and chicken tacos, and both turned out reasonably well. Stef and I have basically settled into a routine where she’s the Executive Chef and I’m her Sous Chef. No matter what’s on the menu, it’s always fun to make a meal together like this.
Anyway, that’s it for now. I have no clue how much time I’ll get off for the 4th this Friday, but tomorrow and Wednesday could be pretty hectic at work, so it might not be another week until I’m able to check in again.
