A collection of little updates. What fun.

Yard Sign Update: This morning on the way to work, I noticed that the previously mentioned 'Nuke Iraq' sign had been torn into several pieces and left on the ground. The little flag remained duct-taped to the post, presumably as a sign of 'respect'. I figure by now some well-meaning neighbor has fired up their leaf blower and blown the pieces into a neat little pile for later collection. Whirrrrrrrrrr!

Gig Update: GE it is. In 6 months I will probably know more about managing large fleets of vehicles than I really need to.

IMAX Star Wars Update: Big, loud, and awesome. Something like 20 minutes has been cut from the original version, but it didn't seem to change the flow of the story all that much. (Except for that one scene at the end of the movie where Jimmy Smits shows up out of nowhere. WTF? I loved that dude on NYPD Blue, but what's he doing on Geonosis?) The IMAX screen is like 8 stories high, but amazingly, Chaperone Bob said it "needed to be a little bigger" as we walked back to the car. Huh? Old people confuse me. Not that Chaperone Bob is really 'old', he's just more 'mature' and 'sophisticated' than I am. But he also buys my ticket, so I let it go.

Christmas Carol Update: Per Libby's scroogish rule, I'm not aloud to listen, sing, hum, imply, or beatbox any Christmas songs until Thanksgiving Day. With the late holiday this year, it's just killing me. That new 'jingle jingle' jingle for Marshal Fields is so damn catchy.

Dunn Babies Update: No babies.
