Total Nerd
I know I'm a total nerd but when I have a few extra minutes, I've been creating Personas for Firefox. I have four right now and the sad thing is I got a huge thrill when I checked today and 21 other people are using them. Sad validation isn't it? Anyway, if you use Firefox you can type Personas in the search bar and it's usually the first on the list. Do a search for evrman and you should be able to find the four I've done so far.
Third Time's A Charm... Grandpa
We found out yesterday that H is having a baby girl. Big news since her other two are boys. I have already pledged not to change a single diaper on this one and D graciously let me off the hook. I cited the statement that cleaning up a baby girl is like wiping gravy off a deck of cards. A bit overstated? Probably, but it served it's purpose.
She's a limber little one... In the sonogram she has her foot touching her forehead. It blows my mind that that is even possible, let alone a comfortable position. I think if I tried to do that my attempts would end in a visit to the emergency room.

Rocket Man
This past Friday D and I had the good fortune of scoring tickets to see Elton John at the arena. You couldn't have gotten any higher up, our backs were literally against the wall, but his piano was facing our direction so we had a wonderful view of him.
There was a bluesy feel to his extended versions of a few songs (including one of my favorites "Rocket Man") that flowed into the upbeat tempo.
Feather boa's draped around necks and flashing LED glasses added a fun feel to the crowd as many danced with a lack of self-consciousness that you only really get during a good rock concert.
He finished his set with "Crocodile Rock" but reappeared on stage to the crowds clapping and chanting, to play "Your Song" and "Circle of Life."
I have to admit, at one point I was a little nervous when he stood up on his piano bench to the cheers of the crowd, and put one foot up on his piano like he was getting ready to climb up on top of it. I guess that's the side of me that has seen too many attempted tricks go badly. I didn't want the concert to end with a concussion.
