Welcome to fatherhood, if I can give any consolation, in a few months she will be on to something else and it will be as if she never heard of the movie.

I am uncertain how someone can be a "natural" in Federal Tax Considerations for Life and Disability Insurance, but somehow I keep 100%ing  my pre-cert exams. Big one w/state is slotted for July 3rd.

That's great, man!  I'm sure the new bosses will be pleased.

I can sympathize with you. When my son was younger he went through a finding nemo phase that was only curbed by a Mickey Mouse club house addiction. Just when I thought I was going to have to check myself into a straight jacket he finally lost interest. Nowadays it's superheroes which is much more tolerable he's much more diverse in his program selection.

Don't get me wrong, I love the book, but the movie About A Boy is honestly fantastic.

Oh and thanks tat and jdl; I know the mermaid obsession will pass.  We've been through a few phases already.  I'm just a little tired of watching a movie where the focus is getting a 16 year old married off to a guy she just met.

It's Friday!..

I was a bit reluctant to say anything after what happened with Japan, but I'm ACTUALLY moving to San Diego! The movers are packing up my house as we speak.

The wife and I are leaving Monday morning for our cross-country trip. West coast here we come!

San Diego!.. Great beer!..

Nice!

In honor of the upcoming US-Belgium match, we decided to go to a Belgian restaurant for lunch.  Then we realized that there's no such thing as a Belgian restaurant, because no one would ever pay to eat Belgian food.

There is no such thing as Belgian food either… We just have a healthy mix of int'l foods mixed with beer...

Not as good as you'd hope.  The Broken Spoke was pretty good, but I didn't go often.  Apparently, too many other people didn't either.

The problem with Belgium in regards to food is that it's too close to the Netherlands to escape the influence of its horrid cuisine.

Congrats, seawolf.

For my money, San Diego is the best city in the country; at least in terms of places I would enjoy living in.

And, as Seul mentioned, it probably has the highest concentration of world-class breweries in the US.

Enjoy SeaWolfy! Spent some time in SD a while ago, ate burritos 3x a day for 2 days. Really enjoyed the pace of the city.

Just bought Paula a swim specific wetsuit.  Now she no longer has a PICC line, she can come join me…...

Good idea, G!
