Plot holes and Chocolate Bread

Our friends Ginger and Victor visited this weekend with their 8 week old Caleb! It was great to meet him. He's quite a cute, well-behaved baby with a full head of dark brown hair. G&V enjoyed our hot tub with us, which was cool because Victor is officially the first man besides Dale to sit in the hot tub! And of course, it was a great chance to make and eat chocolate bread.

In other news, we watched Ocean's 11 and Terminator Salvation. I spotted a couple of plot holes and found confirmation on the Internet that they are, in fact, plot holes. That's always fun. Especially considering that the first time I watched Ocean's 11, I had no idea how they pulled it off. Still, the real problem is this: George Clooney, Matt Damon, and the Asian guy were all in the vault waiting for the phony Swat team while the video feed showed a fake robbery. But at some point, someone loaded the vault elevator up with black bags filled with prostitute flyers. The casino staff themselves carried the flyers out to the remote control van. Where did those bags come from? The Asian guy didn't have room to smuggle them. Matt and George didn't carry them down with them. They weren't already in the vault. The SWAT team couldn't have brought them in, because they came after the bags had left. I checked online and, in fact, there is no explanation! As for Terminator, there were just buckets of plot holes. They clearly needed the Lost team to give them some time travel advice about paradoxes, etc. Naturally, the time travel in Star Trek was perfectly done, because it had Losties working on it. :)
