Not such a big deal after all; happy thoughts

Sunday was supposed to be Armageddon: Big showdown between the elites of the NFL, the "Game of the Century": my Colts vs. the bully Patriots.

Big effin' deal.

Nothing like watching a drama about the 1994 genocide in Rwanda ("Beyond the Gates") to put into true perspective the trivial disappointment of a football game. If only half as many people would have paid attention to the slaughtering that was happening in Rwanda then as they did to a frickin' football game today, history might have been different.

I've blogged about this similar topic before, so I'll spare you guys the preaching. But it sure has been a while since I've cried so much during a movie.

OK, I have to tell myself to have happy thoughts ... so here are happy pictures with happy kids. For the first time in my 29 years of existence, I cut someone else's hair. Actually, I just trimmed Norah's bangs because they were getting super long. So she looks like an Egyptian hieroglyphic now.

Cute pictures, as always! When did Ian get so big? Holy cow! He's 6 months old already? Where did that time go? (nearly 6 months, anyway. I just peeked.)
