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.

In love with 3D
Deannie and I went to see Alice in Wonderland last night in 3D and it is sooooo much better than it was when we used those red and blue 3D glasses that always gave me a headache. I think the last time I used those was for an old Coke commercial during some long ago Superbowl.
I think I'm ruined for regular movies from here on. The glasses are so much better than the old ones. What this has to do with anything, well, I really don't know.
The movie was great, I'm bothered though that we missed Avatar in 3D.

Forever and a Day...
Wow, just looked over here at the end of class and it's been a long time since I've posted.
Ok, to sum up what has happened recently:
Anniversary was this last Sunday, had a blast chillin with the only woman who can put up with me full time.
Getting ready for the reunion... YAY!!!
Got a new Moleskine and it's one of those strange things where I always dread marking that first perfect page with the imperfection of my hand but eventually it has to be done. I usually use them for ideas about everything so if anyone looks at them after I'm dead they will either see me as a genius or a lunatic... probably the latter. My last one was ruined by water damage... bad fishy!
Still in shock that we've gotten as much snow as we have but the farmers love the moisture. Might make for a good growing season to come so I need to get my happy butt out in the backyard and start tilling the soil for the garden.
Still just doing the same stuff I always have.
Anyways, that's about it. Love, Peace and bacon grease.

Welcome to West Texas
Started out the day with temperatures below freezing and a light drizzle that coated everything in a sheet of ice. About 10 am it started to warm up a bit, the ice began to melt and temperatures continued to climb.
Since then, the ice melted off, things dried up and the sun came out, followed by strong winds, a fairly decent rain, temps in the 60's and now the signature of West Texas, the duststorm.
Ok, so who wants to argue with me that we've screwed up the planet?

Really cool Fractals and such for ActionScript
Ok, this will be really cool for a lot of basic Flash tinkerers, probably fairly boring for the more advanced, but certainly something fun to play with.
