Quote of the Week

Captain America is my favorite Avenger. He's an all-around good guy. Honest, loyal, noble, dependable. A champion of freedom. An inspiration. A true hero.

He's selfless, willing to help others despite the risk. When the colonel throws a grenade at the recruits, pre-serum Steve Rogers jumps on it, not knowing it is a training grenade. He protects his fellow soldiers by his willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice.

He's determined. In the face of adversity, he gets up each time he gets knocked down. He is rejected by the army five times before Dr. Erskine sees him as a potential super-soldier serum candidate.

He's a natural leader. His integrity and strong convictions inspire his teammates. He encourages them to work well, train hard, and get along. He understands the strengths of each team member and helps them succeed. He commands loyalty and is loyal in return.

Captain America has a strong moral code and does what's right. He believes in using his powers for good. He's the first to stand up and fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Quote of the Week

Julia Roberts romanticized the world's oldest profession in Pretty Woman. In this modern Cinderella story, a chance meeting between prostitute Vivian and wealthy but ruthless businessman Edward has life-changing consequences. In this iconic scene, Vivian was judged by her appearance and shunned by the salespeople of Rodeo Drive, but they soon learned that they made a huge mistake.

Never judge a book by its cover.

Quote of the Week

There is a line from The Princess Bride to suit every occasion. I mentioned this in last week's post, and I maintain the complete and utter truth of this statement. I quote this movie more than any other... and—this is the best part—my kids get the references. I wonder if they'd enjoy the book?


Grandpa Nothing gave Buttercup as much pleasure as ordering Westley around.

Buttercup Farm boy, polish my horse's saddle. I want to see my face shining in it by morning.

Westley As you wish.

Grandpa "As you wish" was all he ever said to her.

Buttercup Farm boy, fill these with water - please.

Westley As you wish.

Grandpa That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying "As you wish," what he meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back.
