In case you couldn’t tell, that picture is of a miniature baby. Thats right, I’m going to be a dad. Hilarye and I are very excited. The baby is due in October. There is also a countdown I made that you can track the days here.

An inner thought.

Man I love the last corner bite of a microwave burrito.

One Great Week.

What could be better than attending two snowboard video premieres in a week? Flying halfway accross the country to attend one of the two with some best friends.

Last Friday my wife and I flew to Minneapolis for the weekend to see a few good friends and to check out a new HD snowboard video That’s It, That’s All. What a great freakin movie. It features pretty much all mountain riding and some huge kickers. Seriously probably the best snowboard movie I’ve ever seen.

After a few days of recovery from the busy weekend in MN, we checked out the Burton premiere of It’s Always Snowing Somewhere, which was pretty good, but not even close to That’s It, That’s All. I was actually a little bummed about the event too. Compared to last year’s Burton event, this one was prety lame. Last year they had awesome door prizes and gave away tons of free stuff. This year about 10 t-shirts were thrown into the crowd. I’m not one to expect free stuff at these events, but it sure does make it more fun. Did I mention that I won a jacket and pants from the Minnesota premiere?

Anyways these videos have had me dreaming of the upcoming snowboarding season. The mountains have a bit of snow and looking at them every day has been fueling the fire. Man I’m so ready for it to dump some major powder in the Wasatch Mountains and start shredding.

Before and After

The past few weeks have been pretty interesting. It all started with a Friday night hockey game. A supposedly safe game, a senior rec. league, a no checking league… yeah. Even though it was a low key game, it didn’t stop me from skating hard like a fool and breaking myself up. After picking myself up off the ice, I was pretty sure I had broken my collar bone. Running my finger along the bone was quite interesting, like a touch game of now you see it now you don’t. The E.R. visit and the x-ray’s confirmed my suspicions. The doctor recommended that I see an orthopedic surgeon and I did. A week later I was being prepped for surgery. The surgery went pretty well, until I was waking up and the pain meds they gave me almost put me back out. Apparently a pulse of 30 BPM isn’t something they like to see. After I insisted that I was starting to feel better they let me go home and I’ve been here ever since, at camp slouchy shoulder, a little fort I built on my couch with the help of my wonderful wife, who by the way has been amazing through this whole ordeal.

These are the before and after pictures of my surgery. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be setting off the airport alarms for sure now!

if i was wearing a hat right now it would go off to those who created tabbed browsing. i don’t even remember how i survived on the internet before tabs. it must have been a dark and dreary place (i’m picturing labyrinth like with less david bowie). come to think about it i don’t even remember when they came about. somehow in the mix of things i learned of them and my life has never been the same.

oh, how were you able to see the longing of my internet soul for something more?

without these amazing tabs my life would be a chaotic mess of endless windows. i will be forever grateful to the creaters of browser tabs.
