I watched the new movie starring George Clooney. It is called “Up in the Air.”

The main character works for a company that is a source for other big companies who need to lay off employees or reduce their workforce. He is a professional firing consultant or something. I don’t think he ever gave his job a name.

It was a good movie. The advertisements did not pique my interest, but I picked up a handful of movies on sale cheap and this movie was one of them. Well worth the $3 that I paid for it, and cheaper than a ticket at the real movie theater.

One of the girls in our bowling league is a sweet young thing, Deanna Carpenter. She brings her young son to the bowling alley every once in a while, probably when she has an issue finding child care. He is in the second grade and is a very well behaved young man! I just wanted to mention how much I appreciate the young mothers like Deanna who takes good manners very seriously and make an effort to raise their children well.

The regular TV season ended a while ago and there is not much on prime time network TV worth watching. The biggest news lately about TV is that NBC has kicked off Jay Leno’s 10 pm eastern show and will be moving him back to his 11:30 time slot. That means that Conan’s will be canceled. I am not a fan of either show, but I suspect that NBC could have cut Jay back to a big production special show every couple of months and left Conan in place. It does not seem fair to give Conan a show and then just take it away.
