A Few Things

> Today is my Dad's birthday. He made me the man i am today, so you all owe him a huge debt of gratitude. In all seriousness, if i turn out to be half the father my Dad is, Bryce will be a lucky kid.

>One of my favorite things in the world is when someone i haven't talked to in years contacts me and we get a chance to catch up. Recently, i got an email from a guy i haven't talked to in 10-ish years. His name is Matt and he has a couple of blogs. One is about his adventures on a submarine in the navy and the other one is kind of like this blog. a blog about nothing. Anyway, i suggest you check them out when you get a chance. Considering i can't stand to sleep in a sleeping bag, i'm in constant amazement that people serve on submarines for months at a time.

>I got a Facebook page set up. I'm not sure why, but i did. My initial reaction is that it is only slightly less ghey than MySpace. Only slightly.

>In family news, we are gearing up for Thanksgiving. My Dad gave the go-ahead to try out a Thanksgiving feast in costumes. Kind of like Halloween and Thanksgiving combined. I am strongly considering dressing Bryce as an Indian and making him a t-shirt with one of the following un-PC and controversial sayings:

- Why did you steal my land?
- I'll trade you Manhattan for those shiny buttons!
- How much for the white women?

Since we will be going to my parent's house first, there is a good chance ii will arrive at my in-laws blisteringly drunk and dressed as Batman. I feel that this will give them something to be thankful for.

> My buddy TA is going to be cooking a pig at the State/ECU game on Saturday. It is my opinion that a fully cooked pig could coach NC State to a win over the Pirates. Unfortunetly, all we have is Chuck Amato, so we'll probably lose.

> Casie needed some clarification on last weeks parenting tips. Today she asked, in regards to this article, if 22 months was too old to be breastfeeding. The answer is a resounding "yes." 22 months is parent code for almost 2. Don't let the use of months rather than actual years throw you off. A 2 year old kid can say "may i put your tit in my mouth please?" That is creepy. Case closed.
