Snow? In May? I guess we do live in Minnesota

We are not amused

We didn’t forget the blog, we just finally had a baby!

James Victor was welcomed into the world on Wednesday, February 24th, 2010.  He weighed in at 8 lbs 14.4 oz and was 20.7 inches in length.  Since then we’ve been visiting with friends and family, getting the hang of fun things like diapers and feeding, and taking advantage of all the helpful people at the hospital before the big adventure moves home.

Jay Leno: The Brett Favre of Late Night Television

In case you hadn’t heard, there have been rumors and now official reports that Jay Leno’s prime time talk show is going to be canceled.  This led to speculation of what NBC would do with their late night lineup.  Apparently NBC doesn’t want to part ways with any of their 3 late night hosts.  Here are a couple links to recent stories about this debacle:

CNN’s Story

People’s Story

The two stories have some conflicting information, which to me basically says that nothing is certain other than Leno is being cancelled from his 9pm CST slot.

On to point….
Why is it that stars who are past their prime won’t go out gracefully?  (we’ll consider that a rhetorical question)  Moreover, why do the organizations that hire them put up with their bullshit?  Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about what the Vikings have been able to do this season with Brett Favre lining up behind center, but I don’t agree with the road that got him here.  The Green Bay front office had the right idea in cutting him loose.  Is NBC foolish for allowing Leno to create this mess?  I think so.  The Vikings had a void to fill, and they went after an experienced veteran to fill it.  NBC created a spot for a “player” who had decided to retire and then changed his mind.  That experiment didn’t work out, and now that should be the end of it.  It doesn’t make sense to shake up your “play book” to try to fit another player in.  Too many men on the field.  Five yard penalty.  Repeat the down.

Happy New Year!

A few days late maybe, but better late than never.  We’re trying out a new theme for the new year.  Let us know what you think.  (For good or bad, it is one of the most popular themes on the WordPress site right now)

Crisis Averted

Well, maybe “problem fixed” would be more accurate.  All is well in Totally Serial blog land again.

In other news, what is the deal with the Twins’ pitching?  Having a 10-0 lead is no excuse for giving up 7 runs and having the tying run at bat.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the Twins, but if by some miracle they end up winning their division, how are they supposed to go up against the likes of the Yankees in the play-offs if they can’t help but give up 7 runs to the Royals?

Pictures are coolest evar

Another RNC question…

Why do the Republicans insist on using fear mongering as a campaign tactic?  It seems that they want us to be afraid of our shadows so they can try to convince us that they can protect us.

One question about the Republican National Convention…

Why does it remind me of a televangelist’s show?

The Big Day +2

Ryan & Becky at the Temperance River

Just saying Hi from the North Shore.  The wedding was wonderful and the weather was gorgeous.  We can’t wait to see all the pictures.

In case you were wondering…

I upgraded WordPress to the newest version.  I’m sure everyone was terribly concerned.  We’re good to go now ;)
