Goring

People, if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times:

Caution! Many visitors have been gored by buffalo!

When are you going to listen?

Add this to a list of places not to visit

Sorry India, I don't mean to generalize too much, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to visit you while there are people getting burned alive for practicing "black magic". No thank you. I don't want you to think my cell phone or iPod is "black magic".

File this under stuff my mom will never do

Walk on a cantilevered glass-bottomed bridge suspended 4000 feet above the bottom of the Grand Canyon? Probably not.

I might even have a problem with it, though it sounds really cool actually. But I think in reality I might get dizzy or too freaked out trying to walk across it. All I know is even I remember feeling nervous when 6-year-old Dan climbed on the railings there at the overlooks and leaned over, pointing excitedly. I was sure one of my brothers would plummet to his death. In fact I had a very surreal dream where that happened to Brian which I can still remember very clearly. He was only two and in my dream after he plunged off the side of a cliff my understandably upset mom was crying and saying, "He had a dirty diaper!"

A few graduation photos

Here are just a few of the photos I took. As always, I really want to do a better job of organizing and editing them and make an album that we host ourselves but for now I wanted to put a few up anyway. Enjoy!

Brian's graduation - Dad's photos

My dad put up some photos on his Flickr site. Where does he get off beating me to this? Geez.

Good job, Keyrock. Too bad you put up a terrible one of me!

Check them out here.

On the road to Kansas...

So we're 264 miles into our 1600 mile trip to Kansas to pick up Dr. Heather Rose Martin and Miss Cleo and move them back to Boston where they belong. :)

So far so good. The only bad news is the dvds we recorded from tv to watch in the car don't play on our laptop. So now I have to wait to see the last 20 minutes of Lost. Don't tell me anything!

I've got a ton of pictures from my trip for Brian's graduation, I'll try to get those organized and up soon.

Brian's graduation part 1

Hey everyone. Sorry I didn't post for a few days, it got very busy with Rob finishing up his classes and me getting ready to come down to Auburn for Brian's graduation, which is where I'm posting this from.

Lots of stories to tell involving the trip down and Grandma. Dan and I escorted her down. Also lots of dorky family stories to tell.

Right now we're in Brian's apartment in Auburn in between graduation activities. This morning there was a reception for the Architecture department and this afternoon at 2pm is the graduation ceremony at the school.

Yesterday there were crazy storms down here but today it's nice - not hot at all luckily, and sunny and breezy.

Last night we went to dinner and a private party for Brian and a bunch of kids from his program. It was nice. Dad was on super friendly introduction duty, running around saying hi to all the other kids and their families and introducint them to us. Brian was all embarrassed. Oh, Keyrock.

Anyway, I'm taking lots of photos so I'll get those up when I'm back in Boston. Saturday I get back late, then Sunday Rob and I are driving to Kansas to get Heather and move her back to her favorite city! Billy is coming too and so it'll be another fun car trip for Billy and Cleo.

Thanks for stopping by!

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
