Encore Performance

Okay, so here I am thinking of one more thing I'd like to share. If you are at all a U2 fan, you need to visit the website of Irish DJ John Daly who has posted mp3s of U2's homecoming performance at Slane Castle in Ireland. These performances are amazing -- U2 at their most triumphant. If you can only download one song, get "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and prepare to be blown away. This concert is supposedly being broadcast on CBS Friday night (day after Thanksgiving) at 10pm Eastern (9pm Central). Mark it on your calendar as must see tv.

Happy Thanksgiving

We're heading to the hometown for the weekend, so there won't be any more posting (surprise, surprise!) but I'm sure early next week I'll sit down and post tons of new pictures to the site and hopefully an entertaining link or story. In the meantime, feast on this list of things I'm thankful for.

[+] The great saving grace of our God
[+] The sacrifice of his son Jesus
[+] My beautiful and supportive wife Genia
[+] Each and every one of our family and friends
[+] A second chance at college
[+] Music, "the language of the spirit" (-Bono)
[+] Coca-Cola Classic
[+] Mellow Mushroom

New Toy

We finally bought a digital camera. Okay, I'd only seriously talked about it with Genia for a week or so, but it's still exciting! We started taking a few pictures to get the hang of it, and we were fortunate enought to capture a great shot of us using the self-timer. Here it is for your enjoyment:

Is That Justice Hewson or Justice Bono?

Ha! This is great. Seriously, if Hilary Clinton can buy a place in New York and become their Senator, can't Bono use his Manhattan address to get a place on the Supreme Court?

Boring? Lazy? Both?

What excuse can I give for a lack of posting? None, really. A few interesting things have happened, worthy of being mentioned here. I've found some funny stuff on the web, worthy of being mentioned here. And yet I have mentioned nothing... Sorry, Craig and Melanie, my only readers. Stuff coming soon.
