Whale Sharks Ahoy

Not the best picture, but certainly the most impressive perspective

The Short Straw

Here we all are at the Georgia Aquarium. They have a promotion where your group gets in free if you are willing to wear the Deepo costume. Kris drew the short straw. She's such a good sport. (this was a joke)

It's official! Kiri will be Mulan for Halloween

Whether its just a case of a recent DVD viewing or inspired by the story, but Kiri has talked us into buying a Mulan costume for her to wear on Halloween. For those not familiar with the story, Mulan is a teenage girl in imperial China that disobeys her family to fight the powerful Huns and becomes a 'Hero of China' in a very male chauvinistic society.

Five years removed from a clear September day

"Since this nation was founded ... under God
More than 200 years ago
We have been the bastion of freedom
The light that keeps the free world aglow
We do not covet the possessions of others
We are blessed with the bounty we share.
We have rushed to help other nations... anything ... anytime ... anywhere.
War is just not our nature
We won't start ... but we will end the fight
If we are involved we shall be resolved
To protect what we know is right.
We have been challenged by a cowardly foe
Who strikes and then hides from our view.
With one voice we say, "There is no choice today,There is only one thing to do.
Everyone is saying -- the same thing -- and praying
That we end these senseless moments we are living.
As our fathers did before ... we shall win this unwanted war
And our children ... will enjoy the future ... we'll be giving."
-- Late Cardinals Broadcaster Jack Buck 9/17/01

Campbell is going strong. Sorry for the delayed follow up to the previous post.

It's 3am and Campbell is awake. I am catching up on any missed episodes of Paid Programming.
