Laws of the Universe

You may hav noticed them, you may have not. There are many laws, often sublime, that define how we live, who we are, and what we do. Many of these unpublished unsaid laws are very unmovable and well documented i.e. time, physics, political theory (just kidding on the last one). Many of these "laws" are just not set in stone nor documented. For me, mostly because my brother is urging me to post something...anything, I figured I would take this opportunity to document a Universal Truth that is scientific fact. Just like the "scientific fact" that even though everybody sees Snufalufugus now, he was originally Big Birds IMAGINARY friend...even though my wife disagrees with me, but I contend she is wrong and it is very well documented in archived Sesame Street Episodes 1347 and below.....but I digress... Anyway, for some reason this Truth is not one of the 10 Commandments or one of Newton's Laws, but it should be. It is the Law that states.

When a vacation is planned, thou shalt be inundated with many tasks for the week prior to leaving on said vacation, and for the week hence after once returned. Such overbearing tasks shall come swiftly and relentlessly regardless of employment status and/or actual work load.

It is for this reason, this law, that my next post will not be until mid-May. May God help you through these baron times in the world of the blog Amen

Plagiarism? ...you decide

This is my first post since last Thursday and I am asking myself where did the week go. We have a bunch of stuff on tap, so in exchange for your patience, I promise the following:

1. A picture of Oliver smiling. He totally does it every now and again and if watching your son smile doesn't just melt your heart, then it is possible that nothing ever will. The only problem is getting footage of a smile is like getting footage of a yeti.

2. Some random pop culture references. In a recent poll "by my brother" he asked what flavor of pop culture you prefer. I don't know what it says about his audience that will smith raps won out over the Beatles (HELP!), but he won't quibble. He'll just get jiggy with it.

3. Some edited video shorts. Ok this is a long way off but we have video editing software and I'm thinking about making Oliver's first sports apparal commercial. If you have ideas or would like to offer help, let me know.

Plagerism....you decide in the Poll.

P.S.

No, its not hard to get a picture of Oliver smiling and No, I will not be composing edited video shorts.
