An Addition to the Family!

I got this yesterday, but I was waiting for permission to post pictures. I think they might be a little bit busy for reading e-mails right now…

We are happy to announce the arrival of our new daughter, Rachael Ashley. Born January 23, 2003 at 3:05 am. She was 7 pounds 10 ounces and 20.5 inches long.

Congratulations Dean and Marianne!

I Surrender

I know it’s not rational. I know it’s not right.

The thinking side of my brain is still waiting for Bush (who I think is a puppet-like moron of the lowest order) to show us the specific evidence on Iraq that he’s been harping about for months but never quite gets around to detailing.

The thinking side of my brain is getting its ass kicked by this: Iraqis Call Shuttle Disaster God’s Vengeance.

Shuttle Updates

You can keep track of the developments at Spaceflight Now. Right now, they seem to have a radar image showing the debris.

No word on any injuries or property damage. I am praying that no one got hurt and that anyone finding this stuff will leave it alone.

Maybe Mike Rotch is hanging out (sorry) with the guys at The Funny Name Server. (Of course, I stole that one from Bart Simpson.)
