Misc Things Since I Don't Update

Well, we still are not sure what the new baby is (a small human! HURRRR!), boy or girl. We have a few more weeks until Elaine has a sonogram to find out. I'm really hoping for a girl. But I think I'll be happy with eiher. I just really want it to have all 10 fingers and toes, two eyes and a nose.

We talked a little bit about what we would do if there was some sort of problem. I would just hope that I was strong enough as a person, not just a Father, to handle that.
The boys are back to playing Hockey again. They start the new season this Saturday at 0845. Yay, for early practices in another City.
What the heck are the Dallas Stars up to? They have signed a bunch of rookies and goons. So much for this year being THE year, again. This is getting old.
Work is going very slowly. I don't think I've ever seen the Federal Government run as slow as Cook Children's. Hopefully with our continued pants kicking we can get the place to wake up and make the changes needed. Our big log consolidation and audit project is just a few weeks away from starting. Finally.
On the family thing again. Finding transportation that fits six kids plus Elaine and I is rather difficult. Such is life being an anomaly in modern day society.
I bought an iPhone the day they came out. This is probably the most amazing piece of technology that I've ever owned. It is simply awesome. I had no need for all the "Enterprise" features of Windows Mobile (like crashing and being slow) so this thing is perfect. It places calls, plays music, stores photos, surfs the Internet, and handles my reminders and calendar. Just what I need. So, Windows Mobile based "smartphones" can go die in a ditch.
Elaine recently became a Mac convert. She picked up a cute little white Macbook. Glad to get her off that aging Dell she had. She seems much happier. Things still confuse her though, I just remind her to try to do things the way she thinks they should be done. Nintey nine percent of the time that's how it does work on a Mac.
