Corn anyone? The Dark Knight.

Well, we are here in Kokomo, Indiana and I must say it is an interesting trip thus far. Great times with Ben and Brianna - much laughter and fun between friends. I have never in my life seen so much CORN. Their are corn fields, after corn fields. My sister told me there would be - her friend Kelly lives in In. as well and she has visited her several times. You just don't know what they mean until you see it. Very, beautiful land here. Green - they've had more rain than us for sure. Interesting to say the least. And obviously I've never been to this part of the country before.

Shon and I saw THE DARK KNIGHT tonight. If you haven't seen it and you are a Batman fan you must see it. I LOVE Batman movies and I would have to say by far this is the best. Christian Bale is my favorite Batman - so good - Now, Heath Ledger did an outstanding job playing the joker. The character was dark and sick and disturbing - exactly like the joker should be. However, I must p.ut my opinion in here that I do not think that this role cause Ledger to die. If acting a role that is dark, dreary and depressing leads someone to accidentally overdose on medication then he probably needed to rethink his profession. Otherwise, when you really think about, those who work in many other professions - such as nurses on the cancer ward or trauma units in the ER - would likely come home seeking the comfort(release) that those sleeping pills must have brought for him. Whether he sought death at that time we will never know. His acting ability will be missed.

Tomorrow is the wedding day for Kevin and Michelle. I think things are going well so far. They will head out to Jamaica on Monday. This is a picture of me and Michelle from the Jr/Sr in May.

More pictures to come of corn, bride, groom and mayby of Shon dancing!

Ah, the midwest! Yeah, it's been a while since I have seen that much corn, but that kind of area is where I lived in high school...only Ohio, not Indiana. Pretty much the same, though. Now you know why Indiana has a tourism slogan, "there's more than corn in Indiana", but of course, there really isn't much more than that. Enjoy your trip!
