Happy birthday Brian! That's a great photo of you.

Mia, that's a huge cast. Is the pink one just as large? Any surgery?

Happy birthday, Brian!

What are you going to do today? It's a bit damp and dark out, not so nice for your birthday. Maybe in the end it means that you won't get much work done and will get to knock off early and go home and relax.

Happy day,
lisa

happy birthday brian! you look pretty mischievous in that picture. mia looks so tiny compared to that cast! i saw this little girl with a cast and she "bedazzled" it by gluing on beads/ jewels. that might be fun for her.

this morning i had a test at 8am. i woke up at 6 and thought it said 8.. i ran out to my car in my pajamas before realizing i still had a couple hours.
desmond's in town and we have a lunch date today at the greek islands.. i'm filled with anticipation!

Hello. I sent an email out earlier to all our kids about ND football tickets. Please check it and then get in touch with me. Lisa, I'll call you because I got a notice that it could not be delivered to your address. I think I used your old address and I don't know your current address.

Happy Birthday, Brian. Great picture!!

Dad

Here's my current address. I do believe that old addresses have often been used by many.

You can forward a copy of the e-mail to me.


Thanks

Happy birthday, Brian!

Next week is Bike to Work Week. I think you're going to need a bigger basket for your ladders.

Is anybody going to try biking to work? Does anybody already.

Josh does everyday. I certainly don't even though it's shorter and easier for me.

Happuy Birthday Brian!

I will bike to work next week (if it doesn't rain). I liberated my bike yesterday from the storage at my old apartment and the tires were flat. I had to walk it to three gas stations before I found one that had an air machine that wasn't out of order and then rode it back to my new place. Once I got there and went into the bike storage room I saw that there were three manual air pumps in there. D'Oh!

Ed,

Mia recieved a reply from the White House this week! It's postcard sized, thanking her for her recent note and for sharing her thoughts. Here is one paragraph
"Now is our time to work together, reaffirm our enduring spirit, and choose our better history. With your help, we will renew our Nation's promise to carry forth the great gift of freedom to future generations, as our forebears have delivered it to us."
How, Mia wanted to know, did Obama write this letter if he didn't use a pen. Maybe on a computer, I suggested.
"Hmph, he probly just has lots of letters laying around to send to people." she said.

Gosh, it sounds so personal. He must have slaved over it.

Actually that explains a lot. Think about "Starry Starry Night."

So I still can't bend my thumb very well. I bought a new playstation game and am going to do some physical therepy this weekend I think.

Just don't go bowling.

I heard a story Saturday about someone who shattered his leg and had 5 pins put in. Three months later he went bowling and his leg shattered again. If throwing the ball can create that much pressure on a leg, I cannot imagine what it would do to your thumb.

from now on, i'm going to refer to Keifer Sutherland as 'The Hammer'. i wonder if The Hammer will be out of jail to film the next season of 24.

So, who's going to the Star Trek movie this weekend? Josh insists we drive 1/2 hour to go to the Imax theater. It's gotten great reviews.

That reminds me... I need to find my Klingon costume. I think it's with the Jedi knight costume. Or was it with the Vulcan Overlord Cape.....?

Top Ten Lines Never Before Said In A "Star Trek" Film


10. Warp factor 8! Arby's closes in ten minutes

9. We're entering a breach in the space-time continuum or a wormhole or some crazy crap like that

8. Set phasers to fabulous!

7. Welcome aboard the Starship Enterprise -- today's in-flight movie is "Big Momma's House 2"

6. We've been hijacked by Somali Pirates

5. Sir, I'm going to need Saturday off to attend my nephew's Bar Mitzvah

4. My baby-daddy is a Vulcan -- on the next "Maury"

3. The Enterprise just hit a goose -- we're gonna have to land in the Hudson

2 Live long, prosper, and keep on hangin' and bangin'

1. I find your choice of a hairpiece highly illogical

Leonard Nimoy read that on D. Letterman last night.

My husband is not a vulcan.

c the geek said...

I am. I wish I could go RIGHT NOW but it's going to have to wait til Monday. Maybe to the Imax. There are lots of interesting casting choices in this movie. Don't tell anything about it on the blog.

c said...

I'm also wondering if they're going to kill off Jack on 24. Or kill off the series.

Cathy here is a history of the Klingon language

Aren't Klingons from Uranus?
