  • 12/11

    Well, I give it my best shot. I’m 12 hours away from the trip, and 11 lbs from my goal. But I did lose a full 15 lbs. Maybe I’ll be the first person to ever lose weight on the cruise and come back even closer.

    I did however come at just the proper weight to show off my new bathing suit on the cruise. So at least I’ve got that going for me.

  • Exported from Dearborn

    One of the best Super Bowl commercials from 2011 was the “Imported from Detroit” commercial with Eminem. The music was cool, the VO was cool and the overall look of the commercial made you want to run out and buy a new car from Detroit. This is the original spot.

    Not long after that we took one our our usual trips to Detroit and we decided to make our own modified version of that, but based on the fact that I was “Exported from Dearborn” to Chicago. So, on a whim we shot a bunch of footage with our iPhones while driving, and then a lot more footage with the GoPro camera that we just happened to have on that trip with us. I have all the footage to Brenda and the audio track, and she created our own version. This is what that one looks like (if you have not seen the original, watch that one first).

  • Two turn Four – Happy Birthday Boys!

    Happy New Year, and happy Birthday to our little boys Andrew and Max who turned 4 years old today at 8:02 and 8:04 am.

    We had a great family day complete with a field trip to see holiday trains and cake and gifts. I wonder what this day will be like for them when they turn 21 in 2028.

    A few more photos are on SmugMug.

    Some had mixed feelings about the birthday celebration.

  • Christmas 2011 Photos

    It’s hard taking pictures with kids, especially when you’re also watching those same kids. But, I did the best that I could. Here are a few highlights, the rest are on SmugMug.
