Purdue & The Mule

Cam left this morning for West LaFayette.  The Browers had invited him to a Purdue game with them and they wanted to spend the day on campus first.  Cam was excited to go even though he was not much of a Purdue fan.  He did know the majority of the players on their roster since he had been following Big Ten basketball extensively this past month.

While Cam was out for the day, Mom, Dad, Doug, Cal, Brett and I all went to see The Mule.  We had been wanting to see it as it was directed by Clint Eastwood, but couldn't come up with a time or date that worked for everyone.  The movie was surprisingly packed for a noon showing, but we found seats together without any problem.  The major story surrounded Clint Eastwood's character as a ninety year old, down on his luck horticulturist.  He became a drug runner for the Cartel earning money for his family and renewing his relationship with them along the way.  Bradley Cooper had a supporting role as well which Doug and I were both happy to see.  All of us walked out of the movie impressed with it and happy that we got to see it on the big screen.

While we were at the movie Meg came home after practice and worked on organizing her room.  She also filled out her application for Camp Crosley.  She was asked by one of her LIT leaders to apply to be a camp counselor.  She wouldn't be able to work there the entire summer, but would be available for five weeks.  It would be a great first job experience for her.  She left at 5 to go to dinner with Kaitlin and spend the night there.

Tonight we watched the football college playoffs starting with Notre Dame vs. Clemson.  It wasn't much of a game and in the end the Heinisch family was glad to see the Fighting Irish get knocked off of their media pedestal.  Cal called my parents after it was over to see if they wanted to come up and play Tripoly.   The six of us enjoyed this family favorite game and finished in time for Cal to watch Alabama win over Oklahoma setting up the championship game on the 8th.  Cam arrived home before it was over and filled us in on his exciting day.  He was disappointed that Bellmont did not win, but was happy for a close game and a day with Evan.
