Funny: Gummy Road Kill

A news story on cnn.com just made me laugh today. I think the candy is a great gag. I really don't understand the message that it would push towards our "children". I still think it is pretty funny.



Check out the web to find a place that sells the candy - but just in case your too lazy - here is one of many:

I am not endorsing the candywarehouse in any shape - it just came up first in the search :-)

Baby Room Construction I

Last weekend we started to think about how many weeks we had left to get the nursery ready. As it turns out we only have 8 weeks left to get the room ready for our child. So we needed to get a few things ready for the room - the closet, paint on the walls, and making my office into the nursery.



We are sticking with ClosetMaid to handle the new closet. They have a really cool application to layout closets called the Visual Storage Planner. It allows you to layout things in 2D then visualize the closet in 3D. It was very easy to use. It also generated a parts list that we took to HD to pickup. The only thing that it did not seem to generate was a detailed drawing of spacing - but I don't think that is a major detraction.



The next thing we bought was a laser level. Check it out. It is really cool. It has the ability to sunction itself to the wall - very cool.

12 Metre Challenge

During our recent vacation we did this exciting activity. My wife and I where part of the crew on the Canada 2 boat. It was amazing. I think sailing should be this much fun all of the time.

Need to add some pictures but they will be coming.

Boston Globe --- Funny Readers Photos

I needed a brain brake today and found some humor in the photos that readers of the Boston Globe sent in. Take some time, take a brain brake and have a snicker.

Happy Valentines Day

Being the son of a social studies teacher from Lansdowne Middle School - I thought it might be interesting today just to link to the History Channel's history of Valentine's Day.

Superbowl ads

Hi everyone-

Well this past Sunday was the new American Holiday - The Super Bowl. Besides a good game between the New England Patriots (hometown favorite) and The Philidelphia Eagles the commercials have become part of the viewing experience. In my opinion - they can either make or break a dull/blowout game. So without further ado here is a link to the Super Bowl Ads.

IFILM - Super Bowl Ads

Hi on the personal list are the Visa: Can Superheroes Help?, FedEx, The Ameriquest Mortgage Company ads.

Baby Bargain Book

Hi everyone-

Well we are having a baby. Sorry if you did not find out sooner. But for all of the expectant parents we found this book to be really valuable in our selections of items from the larger selection of items that are out there. Remember once you find the items here - check out ebay or some electronic store to see how much the "brick-and-morter" stores have marked things up.



Anyway we spent 3 hours regestering at BRUS and we believe that if we had not done our "homework" with this book I think we would have left the store frustrated and confused because there was no way we could pick through all of the options.

Here are the links to favorite online book sellers:
