Last but not least of my Blogger triple play...

Alex is learning all about what people went through when they immigrated from Europe one hundred years ago. She's currently on a boat for 14 days coming from Wales heading to Ellis Island and is in the 3rd class section.

I have another kid too. There's a shot of her too just for fun.

Triple Play part 2

Here's number 2 of my 3 postings:

Here's a couple shots of Alex from her last concert of the school year.

She played violin as well as sang in the chorus... a girl of many talents!

p.s. I need a new camera.

Blogger triple play...

OK, I've been a little negligent on my blogging lately so I'm going to make up for it with 3 postings right in a row...

The first of my entires is going to be of my trip to New Orleans last weekend. It was a quick trip (of course), but I got a lot done in a very short amount of time. Basically all of my vacations end of being some sort of sprint to get everything in. Needless to say, they are never a marathon of relaxation.

Here's the list of what I accomplished in 2 days: saw some of the remnants of Katrina, drove a Harley Davidson Electraglide to Biloxi along the Gulf shore, ate catfish, pulled pork, crawfish etouffee and mustard greens, saw the French Quarter and drank 3 hurricanes on Bourbon St. (also had a shot of grain alcohol thanks to Matt).

Here's a link to my pictures.

N-joy!

Lovely Rochester Weather

We've had one of the best Aprils I can remember, but it looks like April is going out like a lion.

Here's some video of a very nice hail storm that dropped quarter size hail for about 10 minutes.

Resistence is futile...

Greg and Kimmie Moens just bought two 8 Gig iPod Touches!

Heh heh heh... 2 more victims have been added to the Apple collective. And what's worse is that they already had an iPod mini!

It must have been a very tight contest between the iPod Touch and the Microsoft Zune!

I don't think the Moens could be classified as Apple Drones yet, but I think Kimmie could be fully assimilated at some point in the future (maybe when it's time to buy a new Desktop PC perhaps).

Resistence, is futile!

Beer and Clamato Juice - Finally!!!!!!!!

The geniuses at Anheuser-Busch have finally come up with a drink we can all enjoy: Beer, Tomato Juice and the always refreshing taste of Clams!

It's a flat, pink, salty and briney beverage that can't fail! Just the description alone made Carrie gag in disgust.

Genius.

Hooray for Sammy!

She's finally started to go to the bathroom on the potty! We're still only good with #1, but #2 can"t be far behind.

Get it? Far behind...

Sorry, just a little bathroom humor. Very little.

OK, it's time to get political...

So I just read that Obama won Wyoming. I was hoping that wasn't going to happen. I happen to prefer Hillary over Obama and this win may be her first real nail in her Presidential bid coffin. It's not that I don't like Barack and I love Hillary... that's not it at all. I just want the democrats to be back in the White House and I'd rather see her (and Bill) there than him. McCain seems like a decent guy, war hero and all, but the sound bite of him saying he doesn't care if we're in Iraq for a thousand years is bordering on criminal!

On top of the fact that I think Hillary would be a hard worker and a decent leader, I just don't think Barack is electable. Nobody really knows a whole lot about him and most people you speak to on the street agree that he sounds like a good speaker, but that's all they know of him. That's simply not a great reason to put someone in office.

OK, that's the end of my political rant for now. One last thing for you to remember, when Clinton lied, nobody died.
