Personal

I feel strange tonight, so I thought I would share some video of myself.

I have been very fortunate to have had many good days lately.

The economy sucks, but I am still employed (thank goodness).  The world feels like it is crashing down, but my home is safe and full of love (thank goodness again).

Yesterday little Miles laughed a very clear laugh– he is growing up quickly — almost two and a half months old.

Obama is President, and he appears to be trying very bold things.  The budget that he proposes is targeted directly at the middle class and poor individuals.  Imagine a government that is subserviant to the special interest of the majority — Obama just might bring this.  Let’s pray.

I have been playing with twitter: http://twitter.com/ximz.  It took me a while to figure out how it was useful (I must be getting old at age 25), but I think I can use it.  The more I use it the more I find that it gives me a real time sense of what people are thinking, something that blogs just are too slow to do.  It is amazing that today things that are one day old are very stale.

As ususal I am too connected, and I would love some time on a train away from high speed internet, work, or home.  Mandy: Let’s take a train ride.

Miles is feeling a lot better. Today he began bottle feeding at the ICU. I will be dropping by this evening for his second bottle feeding.

Mandy got sick this morning. We are both now at her doctor’s office where she is getting the IV treatment along with some heavy duty antibiotics.

If all goes well on both fronts we may be a whole family at home by the end of the week 🙂 .

I am posting another video from the Paul Dayton Video Vault.  This was a “book report” that a couple friends and I did for an 8th grade project.  It is missing the final scene (I may find it later).
