New Video & Scattershooting

-How famous are you (u2) when people are excited about your new album cover? Not the music, mind you-that won't be available until March- just the sleeve that holds the CD.

-How nerdy am I to be excited to see the said album cover?

-No School for the Kid's today, so they celebrated by waking up a full hour before they would normally in order to watch cartoons.

-Emery has started taking weekly spelling tests, and has 27 pages of math homework due this week.....in kindergarten.

-We were watching the Obama slobberfe...er...Concert last night. Bruce Springsteen sang "This Land Is Your Land". Asher somehow knew it was a Woody Guthrie song, and gave V and I a brief lesson on the life of the folk singer. How does he know about Woody Guthrie? He cliams he "picked it up in the 2nd grade".

-Asher later stated that Bruce was trying to sound like Bob Dylan. I'd love this kid even if I didn't have too.

-The...Cardinals...In...the...Super...Bowl. Right. Still can't get my head wrapped around that one.

-We are approx 85% unpacked now. 15% is still in the spare garage. Which begs the question; Why did we move that 15%?

-My new Car is a Saturn Astra. Which is a European car named The Opel Astra, repackaged for the US. The Opel was featured in a car chase scene in the movie Vantage Point, that Vanessa and I watched this weekend. I am sooooo going to drive down sidwalks and stairs...

-I didn't vote for the guy, but the history that will be made tomorrow is exciting. I'll being praying for him; anything less is a sin and rather unpatriotic. Which aren't one in the same, by the way.

Mom and Dad sent Asher a vinager and baking soda fueled Rocket for Christmas. Here is the video of the flight attempts.


How long did I work on getting the music for Space Oddity and the video to match just right? Too long.

Have a great week!

  1. Dude, you are going to have to take some time off of work or something so that you can update your blog more often. You are an excellent writer. I keep coming back every few days and too often face the crushing dissapointment of no new entries. Come on man, write!

  2. Jeff!
    Thanks for the compliment. All I was waiting on is some flattery to motivate me.

  3. I wonder if Diet Coke and Mentos would make the rocket fly higher than the vinegar & soda... hmmmm.

  4. It just might. Sounds like an experiment needs to happen.
