Every now and again, I stop in to check out the new Take Away Shows.
This one is Fleet Foxes shot in Paris.
I forgot about these videos! This one is particularly good.

Hockey Game Recap
Beth & I had a great time at the game last night with my coworker and an employee of Dolphini, the owner of the seats. We were given a parking pass for the lot right across from the “Premium Seating Entrance” which was better than paying $10, fighting traffic, and squeezing into a parking spot that two motorcycles would have a problem fitting in.
The All Inclusive Area looked like...

Am I Cynical, Smart, or Both?
travelin-dad:
This after/evening as I was leaving my local Kroger with dinner fixin’s, cat food, and kitty litter, I was approached by a young man asking for food.
[…]
He then asked if I could give him some food. He specifically said, not money, just food. It had been four days since he and his dad had eaten.

What a scam. I fought the urge to tell the woman it was a scam - as...
I Like the View
My coworkers like to close the blinds before the sun is in our faces. I prefer to open them all and have a wide display of the western half of Nashville. Hopefully the sun doesn’t peek between the clouds too much for me to regret my act of defiance.

Hilary & Shae are home.
I went to the barber during lunch and got the best barber of the five there. He trimmed my ears and eyebrows. Women in my life (wife, mother, sister) will be happy.
John Rich's House
Outside my window at work I see a hill that is behind our old office. This is the same hill I took this photo from. I noticed the construction of a building each time I was up there and have been asking around for weeks to determine what was being built. I assumed it was a project of Vanderbilt University because I believe they own the top of the hill.
Last week I finally got my answer.

IE Party
I’m convinced that Internet Explorer has to suck because if Microsoft were to magically make it unsuck, there would be geeky riots across the world to celebrate. Can you imagine how geeky a geeky riot would be?

Baby Thoughts
I won the baby pool.
I tagged Shae’s first blog post because I anticipate many posts in the future. I wonder when she will understand how important that makes her.
I have scoffed at discussions of guessing a baby’s sex or who he/she looks like. That was until I was told that my niece looks like me. Aww!

Shae Hilayna
Shae Hilayna, 8lbs 11oz & 21”, was born at 7:50. Hilary and her are doing well.
16:34 CST Baby Update
The baby has dropped and Hilary is feeling much better than she did earlier. She is feeling so good from the drugs that she told Justin, “Go out and get me a pizza and a beer and lets have a party!” Birth is expected to be around 6-7pm.

$1,500,000
I dreamt Saturday night of my mother informing me that her and Dad were cashing in an 1.5 million dollar insurance policy in my name giving it all to me. If this is true, Mom & Dad, can I have just a little bit now?

Critique
I have never thought about what I really want when I share photos online. It originated in 2002/2003 as a way to share my life and get praise. I enjoy knowing people find my photos pleasing but I realized tonight that the compliments aren’t helping me.
Tonight Roxy took the time to look through my Flickr set from this afternoon and critique a handful of photos. I was surprised to read the...
Around Nashville →
I set aside a couple hours this afternevening for photography. I stayed downtown and finally captured some familiar sights. There is an abandoned building on 11th that I have run by often that always captures my eye. I would love to explore it but a fence and the fear of homeless men keep me out.
It would have been a great day outside if it wasn’t < 40º out. I whined but didn’t...

Chattanooga Saturday
Friday night Beth & I discussed our weekend plans and couldn’t come up with much besides the regular round of cleaning, grocery shopping, etc. So we decided to drive to Chattanooga Saturday after putting the day trip on hold weeks ago. The main goal of the day was to visit the aquarium.
We arrived around 1PM, bought tickets to the aquarium and 3D IMAX movie. Lunch was at this very...
Accepted!

D.C. for the summer? Heck yes!
I’m very happy for my sister-in-law but possibly more happy to visit her there this summer. When should I bring up Six Flags America?
