Five Things

The set of Mississippi Grind

This week was Spring Break so there was a lot of free time. On Tuesday, my friend and I went to Mobile, Alabama to scope out the set of Mississippi Grind, Ryan Reynold's new movie. 

Unfortunately, they did all of their filming inside of a building so we didn't get to see anything. But we had lunch together and talked so it wasn't a complete waste of a morning. There's a new Bruce Willis movie filming soon in New Orleans so we might check that out.

I found out this week that a favorite musician of mine passed away. His name was George Donaldson and he was a singer in the Irish music show, Celtic Thunder. He was only 46 years old and leaves behind a wife and a 13 year old daughter. It's heartbreaking. 46 isn't exactly a "spring chicken" but it's still far too young to die. It seems life takes the good ones too early. Rest in peace, my friend. You will be missed.
