YEEEEEHAW
I finally was able to toe-turn today while snowboarding. Yes! Did it multiple times and without falling (much). Well that's one accomplishment for the year... wonder what's next!?

Frankly, I am disappointed in Kid Rock.
Not because his music sucks, or that someone let his sex tape out for sale, or that he even has a sex tape. No. I am disappointed that he had to create one with SCOTT STAPP, a.k.a. The Other Scary Jesus Man from Creed. "It involved women from a strip club and was taken in a motor home." Seriously. Just for that, my respect for Chad Kroeger grows.

"Just what the world needs... another man." - Samantha Jones in Sex & The City
Welcome to the world, Ewan David Musson!
Jr. Musson arrived sometime this morning weighing 7 lbs 5 oz... the original Attention Whore called me around noon to tell me so. That's all the info I could get so far. Am trying to visit tonight. More news later.

more lame:
big white is NOT a go for the weekend of Mar 17-19. The dude that owns the cabin has e-mailed me to say that in the two days between learning of the availability of Mar 17-19 weekend or Mar 24-26 weekend and putting the question out to my peeps, the Mar 17-19 weekend has been booked by someone else.
the dates currently available are Mar 23-24-25 (F-S-S), Apr 1-2-3 (S-S-M), Apr 6-7-8-9 (Thu-Sun).
i am not going to pursue this cabin organizing until I get 100% backing from at least 6-8 people confirming they will go regardless of who else goes because basically i don't want to be out $300 if people start cancelling on me. so, i'll put it out there to whomever want to go, but it looks like a no go for now.

Son of a... d'oh! (2)
I need to break into the baby toy/clothing marketing racket. Somehow. Seriously. There's money to be made from pseudo-idealistic new parents and friends of new parents who have no clue.
I saw a onesie with Elvis on it. It was $20.00. It's like the size of a sheet of paper. Made of regular cotton t-shirt material. An adult size t-shirt costs that much. And why do I even know what a onesie is??
I've seen diaper bags for sale at $200 a pop. Diaper bags! It doesn't even say Coach or Kate Spade or Burberry on it! I don't care if it comes with a bottle warmer, change pad, and baby wipes box (that will probably get lost sooner than later) or is designed by a famous graphic artist who teaches at the New York School of Design... if it's not made of leather or some crazy anti-spill space age material, or was hand-stitched by elves... it's kind of not worth it.
Oh, and peepee teepees? HELLO!!!! Your child peeing at you is a right of passage. Don't deny yourself.
Why is 'different and unique' more expensive? Surely not playing into the hands of The Disney Corporation ought to cost less... but alas, that is not so. Winnie the Pooh wallpaper is cheaper (and more cheaply made/printed/mass-produced) from Home Depot than a well-made wallpaper with generic trucks and flowers on it from a local small business retailer. Handmade toys are more expensive than bulk toy cars from Toys R Us. Will taking a hit to the pocketbook for 'different and unique' make one morally superior? My guess is not likely. But at first it's more about ideals than number crunching.
As a friend, I would have thought nothing of spending $200 on a diaper bag (although I did raise my eyebrows at it, and thank God I did, because I ended up getting a more reasonably priced non-diaper bag that was much cooler), or $20 for a baby shirt with Elvis on it, just because it is different and the parents would have a sense of humour about the whole thing. They are the first friends of mine to have a kid, why not splurge? But more to the point, the parents are pretty much just grateful for the accumulation of loot pre-delivery, because for the next 20 years, their primary focus is going to be on Junior.
note to Mr. & Mrs. Musson: MILK IT!! (Inference to breast-feeding not intentional.)
