Some exciting things

*Have you all seen the preview for "where the wild things are"? That looks great, especially with the arcade fire jamming on the soundtrack.

*U2 is going on a stadium tour. Bigger audiences meaning that prices are cheaper. Maybe they'll come some place close and we could actually afford to see them live?

*For you omahanians: Homer's on saddle-creek closed, Homer's downtown is moving a block down the street and is closed at the moment. And thus in wanting to pick up the Monsters-of-folk record, my journey was fruitless. No Homer's. Then, Drastic Plastic has depleted their stock and were not carrying the album. And who would actually buy monsters-of-folk at the antiquarium? You would be publicly scorned. Ever seen "high fidelity"? Yea, I couldn't make myself go and see if they had the record. How many lashes would I have received. Probably says more about me than the record shop that I love. At any rate, I am eager to hear the record. Heard a cut or two on myspace and liked what I heard.

*We had our teeth cleaned the other day and the dentist said I did not have any cavities. For any of you who know our california dental stories, this came as a shock. I have been told I have anywhere from 2 to 9 cavities, and now zero. amazing.

till next time.

HA! Love that story of Jay's proposal. Becky and I have both wanted to hear your guys' story of how you met again, and how you Caron came to go to a PCA church. At any rate...maybe someday...maybe video chat.

And yes, two empty blocks of retail now. It is depressing. I read in the paper that the whole section is owned by a larger real estate firm and thus that land is sold in a "bundle" of land that includes other properties. Thus small businesses in the area can't move in because if they buy that block, they are also buying land elsewhere that they don't want and can't afford. Its like wanting six hot dogs but being forced to buy a pack of 100. grief...
