(Is that even a word? Spell-check doesn't like it.)
Last night, Christian & I finally got to watch “Michael Clayton.” We’ve tried to rent it three times, but it was always out. And then after we finally got it home, it took us three nights to get all the way through the movie. But anyway, last night we did finish it, and the most interesting thing happened right as we turned it on (Scene 18 on the DVD), when George Clooney is saying goodbye to his family members after a birthday party, and in the background I heard Mike Kelley’s voice saying something about the Tigers.
I looked up from folding laundry, and sure enough, there was a basketball game on the TV in the movie. Christian didn’t catch it. He had to back it up and listen again.
Nothing particularly earth-shattering—just cool. The Kelley’s have moved on now, but they used to sit in the second or third row at Lourdes every 10:00 Mass—we even had their daughter in the choir for a few short weeks—and it was pretty cool to have something so close to home show up in a movie.

I am not sure what kind of commentary it is on our lives when it takes three days to watch a movie -- but we are right there with you! We wanted to watch a trilogy not that long ago and it took two full weeks! Once we get the girls down and evening chores done, there just isn't much "oomf" left for movies. I am just glad to see we aren't the only ones....
Long-time reader, first-time commenter. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself...) Anyway, couldn't help but notice the title of your post, and since you included a math word, I had to comment. I believe the word you are looking for is tangentially. For future reference, always ask your math nerd brother-in-law before using big math words. Keep up the good work, it's nice to know what you dudes are up to. I've always wanted to start one of these myself...
OK, OK, so I'm not a math nerd. Just burst my bubble. :) sniff-sniff
