Thank goodness
We’re Number One!

Happy Anniversary!
Today is Leslie and my third anniversary.
The leather anniversary.
Happy anniversary, Leslie. I love you.
I’m not sure I get it
Saints releasing veteran free safety Dwight Smith
The New Orleans Saints apprised agent Drew Rosenhaus on Thursday that they have abandoned their efforts to trade starting free safety Dwight Smith, one of their steadiest defenders during a dismal 2005 season, and instead will release the veteran defensive back after just one year with the franchise.
Dwight Smith was one of the few bright spots we had on defense last year. Is this to free up more salary for St. Reggie?
This just doesn’t seem like a smart move to me. It seems wasteful.
What they pulled out of my nose today.
These plastic things are what the doctor pulled out of my nose today. He affectionately refered to them as “hardware.” Doctors are funny.
The matchbook is there to give you an idea of their size. They are about two and a half inches long and an inch tall. They felt like they were 3 feet long and a foot tall when they were coming out. They were stictched into my nose with a single stitch that went through both pieces and the middle of my nose. I should put a post in there before the hole heals up and save myself the trouble of a nose piercing later on.
Hooray for science!
New Photos
I spent the morning adding some new pictures to our photo gallery.
We have pets. We take pictures of them. You don’t have to look at them, but there are new pet pictures.
A few new pictures from our (sexy) Memorial Day party.
July 4th Fireworks Blowout Bash.
And, last but not least, Colleen and Tom’s Wedding in Minneapolis.
I almost forgot
Happy Bastille Day!
Right now I’m wishing someone would guillotine my nose for me.
Hooray for music
Now I am the proud owner of tickets to see Tom Waits on August 1 and Sufjan Stevens on Sept 20.
Once I get around to getting those Sept 25 Saints-Falcons tickets, I will be a happy camper.
St. Paul Rules
We arrived in Minneapolis/St. Paul last night and hit the town with Thomas. Well, we didn’t make it to Minneapolis yet, just kicking it in St. Paul, where apparently all the cool people live.
St. Paul reminds me of Chicago with three quarters of the buildings removed. Their state capital and cathedral are sites to behold, though.
BJ, Sara, and Paul have just landed and should be here in 15 minutes. I’m going to slap Paul in the face when he walks in.
Tom Waits Tour
What a great summer for concerts in Atlanta. First The Flaming Lips and Sufjan Stevens announce they will be here in September, and now Tom Waits on August 1 at the Tabernacle.
I can’t find tickets on sale yet. I would sell a pinky to see a Tom Waits show. He hasn’t toured since 2000, when John and I drove from Philly to Boston to see him.
Happy Independence Day, Amerika!
Despite the fact that I was born in a foreign country, I still love to celebrate the 4th of July, mainly because I love barbeque, blowing things up, and the Constitution.
Since this year I celebrate the 4th as a naturalized, rather than native-born citizen, I’ll be honoring my country by drinking the beer of my homeland, rather than some other watered-down American beer.
Happy birthday, America! I’m sure that Thomas Jefferson would be very proud of the way you’ve turned out.
