Quick links of Rad stuff

Check out this rad video!



Anyone remember that old movie from the '80's? I remember watching it at my friend Marty's house. The climax of the flick is when the lead character does a back flip on his BMX bike, right at the end of a clutch race sequence. I was speechless.
Well, this Danny MacAskill fellow is so rip-roarin' amazing on his bike, I'd love to see a full-length movie of him taking on the local heavies in a BMX competition.

"It's going to take a lot more than skill for Cru Jones to conquer the toughest BMX challenge in the world. It's going to take a miracle."

I smell a trilogy, don't you?

lazy blogging and some new stuff

Liss and Lindsicus surprised Brade and I with a silly Easter egg hunt on Friday. It was fantastically fun geeking out and running around the backyard like a loon.

See LindSAY's blog here What can I say, she summed it up perfectly, and I am totally capitalizing on her work. Thanks Linds & Brade for a wicked awesome pre-Easter hang.

On to the real Easter. We hopped in Mr. Orange and drove on up to NoVA for a nice weekend.


When we were there, we did the DC thing, the egg hunt thing with Ms. Sophia (she has a laugh to die for) and had a nice visit with Gino and Syd. Can't wait to eat all the goodies the E. bunny sent our way. Including a FULL size 'Reester' Easter chocolate and peanut butter bunny. Only about 800 calories per bite. Giddyup.


On Sunday, we went down to get Smithsonian-smart in the Air and Space and Natural History museums.


How DID they do it? Wonder no more! Thank you Smithsonian!

screengrab of my life

This is how my morning has been so far. How has yours been?

quote of the day

In the middle of a particularly stressful day at TMA, I received a text from my sis-in-law, Sara.

"Brady is my fwend mommy, and Bwent is my sister."

NoVa Bday

Last weekend, we went up to NoVa to see some old friends and celebrate Heather's big 40. It got me thinking. When I was younger,I thought that 40 was old...really old. Now that it is just a dozen or so years away, my thinking has changed. Drastically.

I hope I am as cool as Heather is when I reach "middle age".

What a drab saying.."middle age." Yech. I'll ask one of the copywriters at work to think of something more creative and awesome to call it.

Lissy and I decided to make H a card. An over sized personalized card. Awww yeah. So we made some goofy faces, grabbed some paper, crayons and yarn and went to work. We have a friend who told us that the recipe for a rad card is a goofy face. Whaddaya think?


H lost her original wedding ring a while back, and her hubbie JTOH surprised her with a new one. What a guy.


Avery is the coolest niece in the world. 'nuff said.
