Getting Ready for Christmas

Of course the NORAD Santa tracker is the way to go:

This will be Ethan's second Christmas, what with him 1, Dawson 7, and little baby boy #3 on the way, we are all very excited. As per usual, we have gone overboard and there are too many gifts to be shared. Makes me wonder what we can do for those less fortunate than us. It is easy to think of things; much harder to actually do something. Life is just a little too comfortable. That's my gift to myself, that realization.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Firefox 2.0 and PerFormancing

Test entry - I have installed Firefox 2.0 and am using the PeFormancing extension to allow me to have nice quick entries into my Blog. As you regular readers know I am very inconsistent in my blogging habits. This might be the turning point...and I am sure you have heard that before.



Let's stay tuned.

Me, myself, and Ethan

With his first birthday just four days ago it is frsh in my mind how precious life really is. This is me and my baby.

Hansbrough Mellows As Sophomore...Maybe

You wouldn't expect a bunch of white guys to be the MVP's each year. With Adam Morrison and MVP J.J. Reddick last year and this year...Ty Hansbrough.

Lucas: Hansbrough Mellows As Sophomore...Maybe :: Carolina's standout sophomore might be less uptight than last year, but he's still just as intense.

Harry Potter Book 7 / Movie 5

I am getting excited. The new Harry Potter book is due next summer. As well, the movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" based on Book 5 is coming soon too. Check out this cool countdown.

Television

It amazes me the variety of different shows one can find on the tube. Our favorites include:

 

Monday – CSI: Miami

Tuesday –

Wednesday – CSI: New York

Thursday – Survivor, CSI

Friday – Ghost Whisperer, Close to Home

Saturday –

Sunday – Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

 

These are the regular shows. In the past two months I recall also watching: Simpsons, Futuroma, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, FearFactor, COPS, Junk Bros., MythBusters, America’s Got Talent, Deal or No Deal,

 

And regular sports broadcasts of: golf, college basketball, football, world cup soccer, tennis, the occasional hockey game, and any one of those japenese game shows.

 

All in all I average 12 hours tv per week. 8 is my minimum, and some weeks I can watch 20 hours.

 

Pretty sad.

Calgary Flames and my son the sports fan

I took Dawson to his second NHL game last night. Sure it was only pre-season, but NHL is NHL to us. All the way to the Saddledome Dawson spoke of how the Flames suck and he is a big Canucks fan. Well it took the first Calgary goal to change his mind. As soon as the flames came shooting up from the overhead torches he became in-love with the “Flames”. We left there with a much lighter wallet. With a t-shirt, Iginla commerative coin, and a 24 month sleeper for his 11 month old brother, we are now true Flames fans.

 

I have not mentioned to him my love for the Oilers. I’ll save that for the next game.
