The Dallas/Fort Worth Asian American Citizens Council had its quarterly board meeting today. I came in the office afterward, was pretty productive there for a few hours before we went out to see Reign Over Me. It was a pretty decent movie. It would have been great movie if there weren't all these gratuitous curse words being thrown around. The best moment in the movie was when the four of them ran into each other at the door to the office of Angela Oakhurst, the psychologist, played by Liv Tyler. She played the role real well though I wish the script writer could have written better lines for her, you know, more in depth, more realistic psychology. Jada Pinkett Smith played the role of Janeane Johnson extremely well. I didn't think the part of the two police officers banging Charlie Fineman, played by Adam Sandler, against the column after they had already cuffed him was necessary. I appreciate our law enforcement officers a lot and wish the script writer had not chosen to portray our police officers in that light when thousand of them put their lives on the line for our safety every minute of every hour of every day.

Talking about putting their lives on the line, at our weekly small group get together, we always pray for our men and women in the armed forces and their families. We don't think it's right that they only get 10 days of R&R and had to wait on standby at the airport for 18 hours or even 2 days. That reminds me to bring it up with Kenny Marchant, my congressman and see if there is anything he can do about it.
