It’s All About Time Perspective
Brilliant. Thought-provoking. Visually mesmerizing. So watch it already!
Best Cupcakes Ever
Not only are these super cute, but they combine two of my favorite treats: cupcakes and cookies!

(I found this picture on the intertubes - we'll post a picture if we ever make them ourselves)
Iron Baby
I also enjoyed another clip from the same guy (Patrick Boivin) called "I Shot Your Ex-Girlfriend".
My Poor Car
I bring sad news about my car. Today I was in my first (and hopefully only) car accident!
No humans were injured. The other person's car, an SUV, had relatively minor damage to it's rear bumper. My beautiful, well-loved 1996 Honda Accord - on which we just spent $1000+ replacing the timing belt, pump, etc. - faired much worse:

I am glad no one was hurt, but at the same time I feel so sad that my wonderful little car was so damaged. No word yet from the auto body shop on how much the repairs might cost. So far my insurance and agent (Brent with Travelers) have been outstanding in handling this situation; within a couple hours I was driving away from the body shop in a (free to me) rental car.
The wife is angling to use this as an excuse to do a little vehicle shuffling. She has her eye on the GMC Acadia - any thoughts on that car?
Shannon, Pregnant
For those of you wanting to see how my wife is looking these days (I think she looks beautiful, she thinks she's ready for the kid to come):
