They had a spoof of the viral wedding dance video that I posted earlier
BTW – when I posted the original wedding video, it had 10,000 views. It’s now over 27 million.
Counting Marshmallows
I’ve been trying to digitize some home movies. Came across this. Charlotte’s 4, Lex 2. We laughed and laughed.
The Chicago Fall Clan may well be aware of this
but I suspect that this just might be new news for those of us outside the Windy City.
Last week, the Black Eyed Peas pulled off an incredible stunt for Oprah Winfrey’s block party kicking the fall season for her show. Ostensibly, Oprah was unaware that will.i.am of the Peas solicited the services of a flash mob to help create this 21,000 strong dance scene. It’s pretty neat.
While watching the girl dancing solo at the beginning of the song, I couldn’t help but think of another front row dancer in a video, specifically Courtney Cox performing in Bruce Springsteen’s Dancing in the Dark video twenty five years ago.
I know this is a little gimmicky…
but I sometimes wonder if some of our Congressional Senators/Representatives can even ID all of our 50 states much less draw a map of them. Smart of him to start out with his home state too.
A little behind the scenes research indicates that Franken had been doing this for years. I’ve found photos and videos of him doing it on at least two other occasions. I’ve also seen a claim that he first did this for an SNL skit back in the nineties when he was “lamenting” the poor budget that he had been given to do his political commentary stating that he was forced to draw his own political maps.
Keep your fingers crossed for me…
I dread the opening of the new school year. It’s the time that I am most vulnerable to coming down with something. All I can figure it that all the kids coming back from PSU from their summer vacation bring new bugs back with them. Classes started two weeks ago and sure enough I’m battling (hope it’s not swine flu).
Two of the last three years I managed to dodge a bullet by basically shutting down doing much of anything once I sense something coming on (usually it’s with a slight cough, throat tingle, or nasal congestion). Of course, last year, not only didn’t I dodge the bullet but I got hit with a cannonball.
I’m in shutdown mode now. I’m battling a tingly throat along with a slight cough. Knock on wood that it doesn’t explode into another asthma bout (or worse).
Labor Day Weekend…a Labor of Love!
At 8:03 AM Saturday morning, Sept 5th, our third grandson, Ethan Thaddeus arrived! Arriving two weeks early he still weighed 7lb. 5 oz. and measured 19 1/2 in. long.  Andrea went completely natural, enduring a painful “corkscrew” delivery (his shoulder was stuck). He is adorable…Brian particularly loves Ethan’s sideburns that match his.Â

It’s Getting Close…
Andrea’s due date is a little more than 3 weeks away. Here are a few pictures from their home and her shower held last week (that’s Rook, Shannon’s fiance carrying out some of the gifts). And of course, Blake & Reid.
My favorite iPhone commercial
As someone who’s gone overboard installing iPhone apps (I have over 100), I got a big kick out of this “commercial”.
My phone continues to amaze me
I am dumbfounded by how good some of the videos that I shoot turn out. It’s unbelievably dark in this bar and there should be no way that a video could be shot there, much less a one taken with a PHONE.
Seeing is not believing
One of the better optical illusions I have ever seen
