And just a reminder...Warrell Dane's solo release "Praises to the War Machine" is out now and it definately worth picking up. Jeff Loomis's solo release is called "Zero Order Phase" and will be release on September 30th in the US.

I Want To Believe
Tomorrow in theaters:
I have been waiting for this movie to come out. I may try to talk Jayna into hitting an afternoon matinee this weekend. I don't think she is quite the X-Files fan that I am, but who knows, she might like it.
Trailer can be found here:

Into the valley of the sun
There are certain things one takes for granted before one has children. Okay okay, there are a LOT of things one takes for granted before children come along. First and foremost...quiet. You know, before Drew learned to talk quiet. We were so worried that he was going to have trouble talking. He didnt start speaking until he was just over 2 due to ear infection issues. Is there any way we can go back to that time? Please?
The other thing that I really miss about not having childre...the ability to just go out of town for a weekend without having to figure out what to do with the little one.
Well, this past weekend I got to experience BOTH.
Jayna and I decided this past weekend to take a trip up to Sun Valley. It is only a 2 hour drive so it makes for a quick, nice getaway. Jayna reserved us a room at a bed & breakfast in Hailey for Sunday and Monday night. This was some much needed adult time.
We drove up Sunday early afternoon and arrived in Hailey about 4:00pm. We checked into our room at the Inn at Ellsworth Estate. So, we are pulling into Hailey and Jayna is trying to pull up the directions on her IPhone. For some reason she could get the email to show up but it would not download the map. We are driving along and all she could remember is that it was someplace close to the airport. I decide to pull off on a side street and park to try to see if we can call and get directions. We turn off, drive and as I am about to turn around Jayna says "Hey, umm I think that is the place." Sure enough, we just happened to pull of the road the Inn was located on. Starting off to be a good trip.
We went out to dinner Sunday night to an amazing place called CK's Real Food. We both ordered the Ribeye and let me tell you - it was pretty close to the best ribeye I have ever had. We had ribeye with asparegus, potatoes, bread, salad and wine...all for under $150.00. That is not bad at all for the type of food we ate. Oh yeah, and we had this amazing ice cream that they make in house. It was a combo slice that had coffee, vanilla and chocolate ice cream covered in chocolate, caramel, toffee, and oreo crumbs.
Our waiter was really great, and even gave us a hand drawn map on where Demi Moore's house was, and also Bruce Willis's place. Turns out they live right across the street from each other up there. We drove past like the crazy star struck people we are not. You cant see anything because of the trees, and of course it is all gated off.
After that we decided that we were just going to go to a movie. We went and saw Get Smart. It was just so nice to decide to go to a movie and not worry about getting a sitter.
The next day we drove up to Sun Valley and had lunch at the lodge. The outdoor seating is right next to the outdoor ice rink.
We got to sit and eat while watching people practicing for some ice show that was going on up there. After much shopping and walking around we drove around looking at houses. We had so much fun the night before we decided to go see another movie. This time we caught The Wanted. We decided that we needed a couple bottles of wine after watching that - due to the large amount of cheese in it.
Tuesday we went to the ski hill and walked around, and then headed back to Boise. All in all it was a fantastic weekend of doing a whole lot of nothing. The quiet. The ability to just do what we wanted, when we wanted. The quiet. Yeah I said quiet twice - it was important.
Now we are back, and the quiet is gone. I am back at work, and realize that I desperately need to go back to Sun Valley.
Anyone have an extra 2.4 Million laying around?
