My family came to visit yesterday for the day and we had a great time just hanging out together and eating Betsie’s fabulous Sour cream Chicken Enchiladas for lunch 🙂
Then we ate desert at a little local ice cream shop before they had to head back home.
I took several pictures on my phone, but for whatever reason, the pictures and video here are about all that survived 😦

Had a great date night tonight with Betsie. We went to the Genghis Grill and then to Barnes & Nobles – without any kids! It felt strange walking around the bookstore together – we’re so used to having to take turns with the kids! 🙂
Awesome stuff. (Big thanks to Natalie for watching the little ones)22 Thursday Jul 2010
Just discovered that Posterous supports the .3GP video format – which is what my phone uses. Lo and behold I found some old videos still on my phone – from who knows when – that I’d never done anything with, since I couldn’t manage the format.
Here’s a short clip of my two favorite girls dancing – to nothing in particular….(I think this was in Galveston a couple of years ago for Thanksgiving.)
I’ll definitely start taking some more video with my phone in the future…this could be fun! 🙂
(UPDATE: So I’m obviously not on Posterous anymore, but I uploaded the video to YouTube for posterity – no pun intended…)

Little Man: “If my hand was as big as this van, I’d be freakin’ out!
(pause)…. What’s “freakin’ out” mean?

inOkay, I’ve seen several examples of ridiculous “research” studies, and while this is by far not the dumbest – it is funny.
Scientists Reveal the Perfect Handshake
I particularly like the resulting formula:
PH = ??? (e2 + ve2)(d2) + (cg + dr)2 + ??{(42)(42)}2 + (vi + t + te)2 + {(42 )(42)}2
(e) is eye contact (1=none; 5=direct) 5; (ve) is verbal greeting (1=totally inappropriate; 5=totally appropriate) 5; (d) is Duchenne smile – smiling in eyes and mouth, plus symmetry on both sides of face, and slower offset (1=totally non-Duchenne smile (false smile); 5=totally Duchenne) 5; (cg) completeness of grip (1=very incomplete; 5=full) 5; (dr) is dryness of hand (1=damp; 5=dry) 4; (s) is strength (1= weak; 5=strong) 3; (p) is position of hand (1=back towards own body; 5=other person’s bodily zone) 3; (vi) is vigour (1=too low/too high; 5=mid) 3; (t) is temperature of hands (1=too cold/too hot; 5=mid) 3; (te) is texture of hands (5=mid; 1=too rough/too smooth) 3; © is control (1=low; 5=high) 3; (du) is duration (1= brief; 5=long) 3.
Really? That’s all there is to it? Awesome. Okay, I think I’ve got it now, thanks.
