Someone at the park is playing music, so I'm dancing. Yes, really.

Yummy.

Cool....toys falling from heaven

Huh....what happens if I pull?

Look what I found

I'm Not Sure I Can Ever Take Congress Seriously Again

I'm excited to play at the park on a beautiful evening.

What's This Sound?

Hahahahahaha...thud...hahahaha.

That was the sound of me falling on the ground from laughing so hard after reading the article, "Carter Declares His Superiority to Other Presidents."

I'm kissing my doll. Really, I am.

A toy in each hand...life is good

Steve Jobs and Apple Don't Care about Education

So, to be clear, the goals of Apple and Steve Jobs do NOT involve helping students earn goods grades. Read Steve Jobs explain it HERE.

A couple interesting tidbits that I gleaned from what Steve Jobs said (that will make sense after you read the article):

• Apple has 300 million customers, so they don't really care about 1.
• Surprising that Apple's PR department ONLY have time to help people with problems. I'm just sayin'.
• The young woman has a much more interesting article to write now.
• The young woman sent the email from a Blackberry. She probably should have used an iPad.
• The young woman's attitude leaves a lot to be desired.
  

It has been a long day

I'll share my toy

Now this is a closeup.

Hmmm...diapers and wipes. Imagine what a mess I could make with these.

Growing Up In New York

One of Katie's friends is a little boy who is a bit older than she is - he's a little over two years old. The little boy has, much to his mother's dismay, learned a rather unique trick. The kid hails taxis by himself. When the little boy and his mother are out walking and he gets tired, the little boy walks over to the edge of the sidewalk, looks into oncoming traffic, and throws his left hand in the air. This kid's mother says taxis are constantly stopping for her son, and she needs to explain to drivers that, no, her kid didn't just hire them.

Last weekend, Katie played in Riverside Park by Grant's Tomb. There were lots of leaves to pick up, but Mommy and Daddy didn't let her eat them.

This past weekend, Katie visited Columbia University. She wasn't impressed.

Not All Calories Count!

1. If no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.

2. If you drink a diet soda with candy, they cancel each other out.

3. When eating with someone else, calories don’t count if you both eat the same amount.

4. Foods used for medicinal purposes have no calories. This includes any chocolate used for energy, Sara Lee cheesecake (eaten whole), and Haagen-Dazs ice cream.

5. Movie-related foods are much lower in calories simply because they are a part of the entertainment experience and not part of one’s personal fuel. This includes (but is not limited to) Milk Duds, popcorn with butter, Junior Mints, Snickers, and Gummi Bears.

6. Cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breakage causes calorie leakage.

7. If you eat the food off someone else’s plate, it doesn’t count.

8. If you eat standing up the calories all go to your feet and get walked off.

9. Food eaten at Christmas parties has 0 calories, courtesy of Santa.

10. Dessert you didn't order doesn't have any calories (so, have your companion order dessert and then go ahead and eat half of it).

11. Food you eat while cooking has no calories (e.g., cookie dough)

This past weekend, Katie had a picnic with her parents in Bryant Park.

This past weekend, Katie thought she should start drinking coffee young. Mommy and Daddy said no.

This past weekend, Katie ran around at Central Park.

I'm Snuggling Noses with Daddy at Central Park

This weekend we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. Katie got bored.

Really, I'm big enough to play on this stuff by myself.

Another First for Katie - Bison

Continuing our attempts to present Katie with a wide range of foods, this morning for breakfast, Katie had a bison omelette, made with grass-fed bison, organic eggs and organic vegetables.

Of course, that's not all she ate today. Katie also had a bowl of oatmeal, a bowl of apple sauce, a piece of cheese, a piece of bread, a piece of turkey, some chopped up tomato, a few olives, a handful of chopped up grapes and a few of the "cookies" that Mommy blogged about earlier. Of course, she's had lots of milk as well. I'm not sure where she puts all this food.

Katie Loves Marmaduke

This evening, Wife rented the movie Marmaduke.

For those unfamiliar with the movie, according to Wikipedia, Marmaduke is a 2010 American live-action film adaptation of Brad Anderson's comic strip of the same name. The film centers on the Winslow family and their pets - a Great Dane named Marmaduke and a Balinese named Carlos - as the family move from Kansas to California.

Katie loves this movie. She's watching the dogs run around and talk and she can't stop laughing. Wife says Katie is a fan of dogs. That's too bad, because we're not getting one.

The Buck Double

I just saw a Burger King commercial for their burger the "Buck Double." In the commercial, the question is asked, "How much does the Buck Double cost?" The narrator condescendingly responds, "Take a wild guess, buddy." Well, the answer at our local B&K is $1.39. That wasn't quite my initial guess.

I'm not feeling much sympathy

A teenager learns that clamping an electrical cord to his nipple is not a good idea. Who knew? I'm thinking this incident didn't cause the brain damage he alleges in his lawsuit against his school. I'm thinking it was a preexisting condition. Click HERE for the story.

I'm not happy that I had to leave the park

A Curious Finding

From a blog on The Economist (click HERE to read the full post):

Here is a curious finding: doctors who hold religious beliefs are far less likely to allow a patient to die than those who have no faith. That, at least, is the contention of Clive Seale, a medic at Barts and the London hospitals and an academic at Queen Mary, who yesterday published a paper on the subject in the Journal of Medical Ethics. Interviewed by the BBC this morning, Dr Seale said that, when questioned about the most recent patient to die in their care, non-religious doctors were twice as likely as religious ones to report that they took a decision either partly intended to end life or one in which they expected death would result.

That seems odd, because you might expect believers to accept death as God’s will and, while not attempting to force his hand by hastening a patient towards it, they might avoid delaying his intention by intensive medical techniques. Atheists, by contrast, believe their patients have no afterlife, so they might be expected to extend their presence on the planet by as much as possible....

NYC Man Plunges 40 Stories and Lives

A man who plunged 40 stories from the rooftop of a local West Side high-rise miraculously survived after crashing through the windshield of a parked car.
