Kinsey, the movie

This last weekend Kerry and I saw the movie “Kinsey”. This is a drama about the works of Alfred Kinsey, an educated Zooologist who late in life changes his research interests to human sexual behavior. If you ever had anything to do with psychology, you’ve heard of his two text books: “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male” and “Sexual Behavior in the Human Female.”

Going into this movie Kerry was much more education on the works of Kinsey than I was, being that she has a masters in social work. The movie starts out at full speed with very graphic language about sex and approaches it an almost an uncomfortable analytical view, which is what you have to do as a scientist studying something. I thought Liam Neeson did an excellent job portraying the type of character Dr. Kinsey must have been. His co-star, Laura Linney, also did an excellent job playing Mrs. Kinsey.

All-in-all I really liked this movie and would recommend it. However, I wouldn’t go see this movie with anyone you do not feel comfortable talking to about sex, because it will spark conversation.

Fun in the snow

Last weekend Kerry and I went showshoeing , yes this is a real thing. Anyone remember the cartoons where people strap tennis racquets to their feet and walk around on the snow? Well they really do that here. Kerry found a place that would rent us both shoes and poles for the weekend and several parks in the area have trails for such a thing. I personally had a lot of fun and I think Kerry did also. They are surprisingly easy to walk in and give you a lot of traction on the snow. The poles, which are nothing more that ski poles, were also very helpful. It had just snowed over 6 inches that week which provided for some great scenery. Both Kerry and I took pictures so hopefully I’ll have them up soon.
