I'm a huge MAC fan - so you can imagine how stoked I was when I saw this new ad for the new mac.Of course, it's from a very reputable source of news on the web.Bob keeps mentioning my blog in church - I'm sure posts like this will put an end to that :)http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAO3T1daHheEeH3ZcEQIwEb-ufpX3RLqWvNx99FHUV7g5nzqSBuQUAVq5Bjz503jqT7JBMbcV94RZlq2c9OquxsZl7VPd7jCVi0wIdItaHR0QwD5SUzChsxrK_VBcRxnrilchialLG6Av85ofMRPi86lJrkBMTQRqaR84c_R9A5ETiFs9y4vffAsn4p7YzRj-jeSLyy7sdw2ALudDLMWJmhECofsOBa4_pwfivdvAJY9r%26sigh%3DaI0eg2Bw5NyHN8K7DNRNTxOuQ4w%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D25ae3b28e92f36fc%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3Dz6KxxFtXyeJ30h8tOTtYlXh08Eo&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den

Merry Christmas . . .

We had some "severe" weather in Birmingham around 7PM on Christmas Eve. I don't know if it was enough to get James going on ABC, but apparently there were tornado warnings and 60mph straight-line winds in Tuscaloosa - all heading to Birmingham.My 7-year-old had one comment on the weather:"Maybe God is mad because we keep celebrating Christmas in ways that we shouldn't . . .

My wife and I celebrated our 11th Anniversary this weekend (Dec 20th). We have stayed at the Peachtree Plaza almost every year for the last 11, including our wedding night. I'm a huge cheapskate, so I always book online, and attempt to get the lowest price. This year - the lowest price was accomplished by an advance pay, no refund reservation. $110.00/night. Not bad.

Mandy was putting the other boys down to bed. I was at church. This is what she discovered after she came down from bath and bedtime.The picture says this: "It [the reader's theatre]…
