Today we checked out our newest little star. First, we found out he was a boy. We also saw his manual dexterity. We saw he was handsome, and that he looks a lot like his dad.

Update: pics removed.

This article finally explains my life. I thought for the longest time I was just a horrible freak for still owning all of my Legos.

Sure, my four year old can play with them, but they are still my Legos.

This weekend we rented Cats and Dogs, a kid’s film about the underground battle between cats and dogs for domination of the world.

In the film, a cat infiltrates the home of the family and while the mother is not looking, it opens a hairball containing a “stealth poop”. This “stealth poop” forces the mother to put the dog outside and allows the cat to complete its mission.

While the cat’s mission was ultimately foiled, I noted a disturbing fact: No one seemed concerned about the dogs.  These innocent puppies in POW camps forced to create the “stealth poops”. These dogs are trapped behind enemy lines, forced against their will to create weapons used against their own kind. Tragic.

We apologize for the considerably deep and moving Spectacularity yesterday. Those responsible have been sacked.

Sincerely,

The Management

I think that people are basically good…

I read that quote today on a website while surfing around. I’ve certainly seen or heard that before from a multitude of sources. But today it stuck a chord. At one time it was true. In a garden somewhere before a talking asp started telling lies. After that it didn’t. I believe that people generally want to be good because it’s socially acceptable. I think that people want to be good, but because of the fall of man it’s an impossible facade to maintain. Even as a Christian it’s hard sometimes. It’s difficult when I don’t let God take control – of my mind, my time, my finances, whatever. Those times when I think I’ve got a good handle on everything and try to run the show. It’s in those moments the lying snake whispers in my ear, distracting me from the God-faring person I want to be. Those moments where I curse the existence of the driver of the car in front of me who just cut me off. I have to stop myself and let Him back in control of the show. It’s those times, spiritually snuggled up next to my Lord, that I can be good. I don’t know how anyone can do it without Him.

Instead of dinner and a movie, we spent the evening at the hospital getting a picture.

Update: picture snipped.

The most amusing part was watching a lawyer, an investment manager, and a judge trying to calculate what 9 months worth of salary would be if projected out to the end of the year. It was like 10th grade Algebra all over again, only this time I didn’t have to participate.
