New Post Look how time flies. Just checking to see if the old blog still works. Busy week coming up. Lot's of work related stuff, and the birth of our second child (a still as of yet unnamed boy). One way or another the little guy will make an appearance' [...]
Birthday Father's Day was also Zoey's first birthday. She didn't really understand the concept, but seemed to like all of the wrapping paper and frosting that were involved. Here's a pic. More here.
Cold Diet Coke Is there an airport on this planet that sells a cold Diet Coke? I was travelling last week from Dulles to O'Hare and then to Frankfurt and then through London on the way back to Dulles, so I think the answer is probably no. Why even bother' [...]
I liked that guy I've watched more of this season of American Idol than I should admit publicly, but I was a bit disappointed that they sent the chubby guy, Chris Sligh, home tonight. I guess America wasn't with me on that one either. Admittedly, he flubbed "Every little thing" [...]
Changes Sorry for ignoring the old blog, but I've has some changes recently. I was staying home with the baby for the past six months, but last month I went back to the old kind of work. The kind where I essentially count money and various other things for a' [...]
XLI Things got off to a great start thanks to Devin Hester, but it just wasn't meant to be. By the middle of the second quarter, I started to have a bad feeling about this. The Colts offense was on the field too much and the Bears defense wasn't really [...]
Boston Police According to this article the authorities in Boston are still pretty upset about wasting every one's time yesterday. I got a kick out of this line from the article:"Officials have vowed to hold responsible Turner Broadcasting Inc., the parent company of the Cartoon Network, which airs the'" [...]
Bears So are these Bears for real? Living outside of Chicago, it's hard to get a sense of the real scoop on these guys. I remember the excitement surrounding the 1985 Bears like it was yesterday. I can still name the starting line up of that team by position, but' [...]
Cute Pic I see you can finally post pics directly from your hard drive using blogger without having to link to them from some other source. That's nice. Here's a cute pic of the little one at bath time.
Ford Gerald Ford was the first president that I voted for. As I recall in a mock election in my first grade class, Ford beat Carter by a 16 to 1 margin, and this was in the heavily Democratic south suburbs of Chicago. I suppose it wasn't a very representative' [...]
Local Celebs I was just out walking on Charlottesville's downtown mall with the baby this afternoon and I saw another local celebrity, John Grisham. You'd think after 6 years I'd finally see the guy, and yeah well, today was the day. He must have come from some book signing, which' [...]
Rematch Personally, I'd like to see that Michigan - Ohio State game played again on neutral turf in early January. I think the result would be different. It's great to see these Big Ten teams playing like this, and to see the Florida football factory schools losing. Like Miami losing [...]
Election Results Last night was about what I expected and I'm happy to see that Jim Webb looks like he might take George Allen's seat. I don't claim to know a thing about Jim Webb, except that he looks like he might be hitting the sauce a little too frequently.' [...]
Bugs Wednesday the sun was out and I spent the afternoon fighting off an invasion of ladybugs. I guess this time of year they go looking for a warm place to stay for the winter, and they use the last sunny days of the fall to invade the homes of [...]
Jinx Thanks ESPN. You do a big monday night pre-game on how great the Bears are, bring out Da Coach and now they're down 14-0 to Arizona in the First Quarter. Plenty of time left, but still...
Update: 20-0 at halftime so I went to bed. My bad. Bears' [...]
Garbage Detective A faint smell of garbage kept hitting my nose late yesterday on the couch. I suppose it's time to take out the garbage. Problem solved? No. Hmm, run the garbage disposal maybe? Nope. Alright look under the couch: no. Look under coffee table: no. Remove all couch cushions:' [...]
Fame So if you were watching the Today Show on Saturday at about 8:45 you might have seen Zoey and me. My parents saw us. I didn't get there early enough to be in the front for one of those crowd interviews, so I was just another one of those' [...]
New York City I'm hanging out in New York City today with the wife and little one. We are staying at the Marriott on the east side which is only about half a mile from 30 Rockefeller center, so I went over to the Today show with the intention of' [...]
Commercials I just saw that Liberty Mutual commercial again and thought, you know maybe I should switch all of my insurance to them. Well not really, but jees, every time I see that I well up like schoolgirl. It's this one, where people are going about their day and' [...]
Captive Audience I've been playing a lot of guitar and getting the calluses back on my fingertips now that I have a captive audience back at home to listen. I probably need to update my repertoire to be more age appropriate, but I can do a rendition of "Interstate [...]
Frickin' Cable Now that I am no longer employed by the cable company, I can complain publicly about the service around here. Ernesto brought some rain through on Friday and our power went out for about 4 hours, but the cable was down for 2 days. Come one guys, a [...]
