U2 3D Premiere

Go to U2.com and refresh the main page until you see a photo of a bunch of people with 3D glasses on. Then look in the middle of that photo. That handsome guy is my brother. He was in Dublin last week for the premiere of the new U2 3D movie. The band is several rows behind him. You can see Edge, Larry and Adam. Bono is in between Edge and Larry. You can only see part of his face. Woody Harrleson is in the green scarf at the bottom right of the photo and Al Gore is further to the left down the same row as the band.

Pretty cool huh?

Then watch this video on You Tube.

You can skip ahead to about 6 minutes into the video because the beginning is a bit boring. The video was taken by my brother at the same premiere. It’s the band in front of the movie screen with the director of the film, Catherine Owens. At about 6 minutes into this video Catherine thanks Jason personally. It’s awesome. Jason said he was really thrilled that she thanked him in public like that.

I’ve been telling you all for years that my brother leads the exciting life.

Mr. Sensitive

Clark has been so sweet today. First, he accompanied Charlotte and me to the pediatrician's office. On the way, he leaned over from his car seat to Charlotte's seat to say, "Awww...I'm sorry Charlotte. I'm sorry your ear hurts. I'm sorry Dr. Stephens is going to have to give you a shot. It'll be okay."

Just as Ryan came home, I had to head out the door to pick up Charlotte's antibiotic. When I returned, Clark was just finishing the movie "Charlotte's Web" in the living room. Dad was in the nursery rocking Our Charlotte to sleep. I greeted Clark, who looked a little forlorn. I said, "Hi, Buddy. How are you?" He answered, "I'm good. I just needed some company." I explained where I had gone and why Dad was in the other room, then I asked, "How was the movie?" As he began to tell me, his little bottom lip curled, his eyes squinted shut and the tears began to flow. "It was good, but...(sniffle, sniffle)...Charlotte the spider died. It was...It was... dreadful!" Needless to say, that last word was not exactly the kind of adjective you expect from your 3 year-old. It was everything I could do to contain my laughter. But, as I picked him up and consoled him, I began to tear up, too. Me and Mr. Sensitive were making memories!

Funny Story

The other night Marian and I were playing hide and go seek with Clark. Marian and Clark were counting and I went and hid. I nestled into a hall closet and held my breath. I could hear them walking around the house. As they got closer I couldn't hide my excitement. I was in the closet giggling while trying to hold my breath. Finally, they showed up outside the closet. I was so excited I burst out of the closet door screaming like a wild banshee. Clark, who loves to be startled, started screaming and in slow motion fell over backwards. I had scared him right off his feet! He sat on the ground laughing boisterously at me. "Let's play again! Let's play again!"

Finally eating real food

Charlotte is moving to real food. Here she is with some prunes. How cute is she?

HUGE PROMOTION!!!

I've been working my you know what off for the past 6 months and asked my boss every day, when are you leaving? And she finally did after I planted mice in her office, BUT I GOT THE JOB!!!!

New comment

Well, here we are. I have been so busy lately. I recently got a promotion at work. I was named the Sponsorship and Events Manager at OPBUCO Communications Group. My boss, Kelly, quit the paper after 18 years to stay home and work on a new business opportunity. Bad news for me because I will miss her. Good news for me because I now have her job. She has been training me for about four weeks. I hope I have learned a lot. But, I think I still have a lot to know. Anyway, I'm excited about the opportunity and can't wait to see where it will lead me. Thanks, Kelly.
