There is a house in Charming, they call The Rising Son...

And it’s been the ruin of many a poor girl, and me, I know, I’m one.

It’s Beth, Elmer and I in the bedroom tonight. Plus 12 other girls in the house. Katie turned 17 and she has all her friends oven. I got to BBQ some burgers and after they retired, Beth, Elmer and I watched the final three episodes of Sons of Anarchy.

I first heard of the series from of all things The American Spectator and an article comparing it to the life in The Godfather. In his time people who take their request of justice to others outside the civil authorities. At the beginning of The Godfather an undertaker takes his quest to Don Corleone. In SOA they go to SAMCRO.

After spending months using DVDs I finally got the forth season on download from Amazon. For those of you who don’t know the protagonist is Jax Teller, the VP of the club (and it’s a club, not a gang ;<) ). Jax is the step son of his chief antagonist Clay Morrow, the club (and don’t call it a gang) President. Over the last few seasons things have boiled over and now Jax has become the president. I won’t spoil the show completely but this is an awesome series. Not family entertainment but there is great characters, great stories and classic nobility in evil people. Jax, Clay and the other members of the club are not people you want as your neighbors but you would want them when the chips were down.  There is honor among the thieves.

An awesome finish to season four but that leaves one bad thing. Now we got to wait till September for the next season. Damned.

Meet friends for breakfast tomorrow, other friends for lunch. Hope you’re have a great weekend.
