Alamogordo , NM

Hey I have been super lazy about keeping up on this so I am gonna try to do better. I went to New Mexico last week, and it was so lame. Not only did I have to fly into El Paso ( Jake is under the impression that everyone who lives in Texas rides horses all the time, to work, to school, to Wal-Mart, he thinks they have no cars), then I had to drive 2 hours into the depths of New Mexico desert to a town named Alamogordo, ( it means fat cottonwood) and there was not a whole lot there, I went to see a "Space Museum" and I use the word Museum very loosly, since it was more like NASA's junk yard than anything else, it was really sad. That is about it, I am off to Miami so it will be nice to go to a big city for a change.

PS. Go Cardinals, they are in first place and I couldn't be happier

Movies: "Get Smart" - was a huge dissapointment, I loved the TV show as a kid, ( Sara didn't even know that it was a classic TV show, I know seriously) but it was just so bad, not worth the rental. * 1 star

"The Visitor"- really good, worth renting. **** 4 Stars

Music: "Oasis" ( Dig Out Your Soul) has a new album that really is pretty good, I am a huge fan so take this at face value, but I really like a bunch of tracks on it( Falling Down, The Shock of Lightning) . Check it out, also we are going to see them in December, so I can't wait for that.
**** 4 stars

Also if you have'nt heard the "Flobots" go check them out asap, they are sooo good. ***** 5 Star

Halloween Pics of the Kids

Here are the kids on Halloween. Jake was Jango Fett, and Lily was a Pink Leopard. It was great times, we decorated the house super scary and Jake got all kinds of great candy.

Mike Rowe

Well just as I turned off my laptop in Klmamath Falls, thinking of what to do next since my plane was delayed, I hear a voice that I could recognize anywhere. That's right, Mike Rowe, from such shows as Dirty Jobs, Narrator for countless Discovery channel programs, was walking into the little airport. Now remember I am stuck in the middle of Oregon in a tiny airport about to board a prop plane with 12 other people and 1 of those people is Mr. Rowe. Now I have to admit I have a little man crush on him, I always used to tell Sara that it would be so cool to meet him and hang out with him.

Well he was as nice as could be. I went over told him that my wife loves him, ( which is true) and that my mom really liked him too. He said that he gets that alot. Then we talked for a bit, about Oregon, he was there goose hunting, on his way home to San Fransisco, and it just so happened that we sat next to each other on the plane, is was really cool, he was so nice I think that my crush got a little bigger.
