Went to check on the kids tonight, and this is what we see. Yep, he’s definitely ours. 🙂

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 😦

Date Night

23 Friday Jul 2010

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)

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…)

(pause)…. What’s “freakin’ out” mean?

Key to a Good Handshake

Okay, 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.

Betsie’s parents celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary March 15,
2007. We put this video together for their anniversary party, but this
week I found it again and thought it worth saving here.
