Inside info

We had an appointment yesterday and found we are having a little girl. There is no doubt. This wasn't a case of not seeing one thing and assuming it's the other. This is a case where the sonogram saw it was a girl no doubt.

Yvonne is nervous in a funny way. She fears her mom's curse is coming true--to have a child just like Yvonne. As a kid (and to this day), Yvonne's a night owl that read a lot and I guess she dished some attitude? I'm not sure on the last one (treading lightly, lol). All I know is it got to the point where Yvonne's mom said, "I want you to have a child just like you someday so you see what it's like."

Hmmm, let's see, it's a girl, a Gemini (just like Yvonne) and in the sonogram, she was hiding her face and not cooperating. Yeah, Yvonne is nervous.

Name suggestions in the comments are welcome. I'm glad we know the sex because I think Yvonne and I would have wasted a lot of time and effort on boy names.

Silver Surfer

This looks pretty good, too.

Vacation

I'm enjoying the week off with family.

Here's the latest movie my bro in Austin worked. It's looks pretty awesome.

The music never stops

When I was in the Austin bike club, there was a music bike. I've written about it before, but needless to say, it was pretty bad assnit. In fact, after only one ride along with the Austin Boom Boom, Warlord decreed that loud music bike was exactly the kind of thing the Dallas Boneshakers needed. In Austin, one of the mottos was "The music never stops" and I think that same motto can now be adopted by the Boneshakers.

I say this not because we completed our music bike. We haven't even really started that project yet, but we have some great ideas not on paper.

I say this because the Dallas Boneshakers officially have a fourth member. Not just a rider, a member. We named him The Bard because he's had years and years of music school, and he has a keen knowledge of the current music scene with an emphasis on indie rock. \m/ rawk

So now we have the Bard to make sure the music never stops. The Warlord, The Ronan, The Shaman and The Bard. Officially, there is also the Assassin, but she doesn't ride much. She lies and waits for the right time to pounce.

One of the cool things about this is the Bard has two speakers with built-in battery operated amps--something that could be placed saddle bag style on the back of a bike, perhaps?

Last night we had a short ride, played bones and another game called Farkle involving 6 dice and a lot of chance.

And the Warlord dropped the gaunlet on me yesterday. He gave me a Marvel Comic Collector's Edition of Monopoly. You customize the board. So, for example, Boardwalk could be The Hulk. Or Marvin Gardens could be Magneto. Neato.

So, it's on. :)

Photos

After several requests for images, I finally got off my lazy butt and did something about it. Enjoy these photos of the wall and the new car.

I am trying a new tool with these, where folks can leave comments on the images and all that jazz.

I will most likely take down a few sections soon, including the old gallery.
