Parade Day 2007

The New Haven St. Patrick's Day Parade. If you've never been, you wouldn't understand...

Four Foot Nine

For those of you who haven't seen the billboards, Connecticut State law says that children must remain in their booster car seats until they surpass the height of 4'-9". Vehicle safety is no joke, folks. As a result, our model citizen, cute little Heather, now travels in a properly fitted car seat, enhancing her personal transit safety by 30%, compared to using just a seatbelt.

Americone Dream

If you haven't watched at least a clip of the The Colbert Report, you're missing out.

Went down to the studio on Monday to catch a live recording and it was a hundred times funnier than what you see on your screen.  The opening comedian (for the live audience only) was hilarious, and randomly blurted out in the middle of his routine that I looked just like Kelly Ripa. He declared this to be a flattering compliment, whereas his celebrity look-a-like of Mr. Berns from the Simpsons was not so flattering. They also showed some stuff around the studio that the folks at home always miss, like the microwave that Stephen stole from Bill O'Reilly's green room.

Anyhow, we sat next to Stephen's wife & kids and enjoyed the show. He came out and talked to the audience before the cameras turned on, and I got an opportunity to ask him a question and exchange a few words. Ben & Jerry, the ice cream guys, were guests and ended up giving out a pint of Stephen's own flavor, "Americone Dream" to everyone in the audience. Walking back to the car in 8 degree weather and high winds up west 56th, we devoured it, like the fools we are, and enjoyed the crunchy taste of freedom in every bite.

Tickets to his show are free, so definately check back to his website every so often to get on the list if you're interested!!
