One of Aimee’s Christmas presents to me this year was a weekend in Big Bear (emphasis on “Big” when said, like “Big Lake”), for a little winter weekend getaway.

Aimee and I tallied up our Top 10/Bottom 5 movies of the year (released and seen in 2006) last night, though I think I’m going to have to get through those few I’m still waiting to see before making an accurate pronouncement (Babel, Half Nelson, The Queen, Children of Men, and others?).
