Renee's Slippy Car Accident



It was snowing today and the roads were slick. On the way home from work Renee did some slipping and sliding. The car has some front end damage, but she is fine. I was going to tell you the details about Renee's accident but she does such a great job telling it herself. Enjoy!

Real Baby II


I walked in the door last night and I was greeted by Jenn. Jenn promptly asked me if I wanted to hold her baby. Jenn's baby was birthed by Realityworks inc. and this computerized infant simulator tracks how well Jenn cares for it. It needs to be fed, changed, burped and rocked. If you fail to figure out what the baby needs it has a wail that can be heard from any location in the house.
One of the objectives of this lesson is to demonstrate the impact babies have on a person’s lifestyle, extended family and future. This is a lesson that engages students in a way that is genuine and applicable to real life. The baby will be a part of Jenn's life until Monday.
Though the Real Baby II is the most advanced simulator on the market, there are a few changes I'd make. In order to truly enjoy the joys of motherhood the baby should be designed to projectile vomit. The current model comes with an obvious sound when the baby is pooping. I'd add in the ability to have an actual diaper overflow and a realistic accompanying odor.
Jenn is actively engaged in the experience and I'm sure she'll get some extra attention from our friends at church tomorrow (just like a real Mom would). This should be an interesting weekend.

Dreamcatcher

I've done some rock climbing in my lifetime but Chris Sharma is by far the most incredible climber of our generation. He literally jumps from hold to hold. His unorthodox style makes him one of the best climbers alive. Incredible!

Heavy Snow

It's early in the morning and kind of dark but you get the idea. I took this video on December 31st. Lot's of snow. This will be my last post about snow for a while. That is unless it snows again.....

WTVH Blizzard of 1966 Ron Curtis Syracuse, NY

We have had quite a bit of snow this year but nothing compared to storm in this short video which tells about the Blizzard of 1966 here in Syracuse, NY.

Scraping Away the Snow


Wesley was caught in the act of scraping snow off the van this morning. We were heading out to get some lunch but before we could go we (Wes) needed to clear away some of the overnight snowfall. We got another 4 or 5 inches, that on top of about a foot we already had. Our winters have been relatively mild these past few years but this winter we have had several big storms. Although we have had over 2 - 3 feet of snow, it melts fairly quick. I'm not going to complain,it could be worse.
The snow was cleared and we ate too much food at Tully's.

Hulu.com


If you miss your favorite TV show there's a good chance that you can see it for free at Hulu.com. They even have some older shows in there line-up. I have Kitchen Nightmares, Crusoe, and The Land of the Giants (1968-69) in my queue. Jennifer checked out the site tonight and she was happy to find all the episodes of Roswell.
In most cases you would need to watch the shows on your PC. If you are a bit more tech savvy, there is a way to hack your Apple TV and upload Boxee. This will allow you to watch Hulu on your TV over the internet. Either way it's a great way to catch up on any shows you may have missed.
