11 Year-Old-Boy Donates Wii to Help Needy
Most dugg comment to this story was in response to another’s “I feel bad now”:
I feel bad as well. Here I am killing people for a Wii, when all I had to do was beat up a few 10 year olds in Wii bowling.

Patriots set NFL records en route to win over Dolphins
The New England Patriots are unstoppable. The only teams that I think have a shot at defeating them in the playoffs are the Indianapolis Colts and the Dallas Cowboys, who both have already lost to the Pats this season.
If the Patriots beat the Giants [next Saturday night], then go unbeaten in the postseason to finish 19-0, they’ll join the Dolphins as the only teams to post a perfect record from opening day until the clock in the championship game runs out.
Do I think they can go 19-0? Yes. Do I want them to? Yes. The unbeaten record of the 1972 Miami Dolphins, as precious as it is, is meant to be broken. And Tom Brady and the Patriots are showing everyone how it’s done.
Here’s comedian Bob Marley’s take on the Patriots run (as heard on The Tony Kornheiser Show on 3WT Radio):

boy or girl?
Do we want a boy or a girl? I wouldn’t mind a boy. Being a male myself, it’s only natural. Christine would like a girl, since she already had Daniel. Her parents would like a girl. A boy would carry on the Jose name one generation further. But a girl could play sports and do all the boy stuff as well. Besides, they do make pink Cardinal baseball caps. And I really love the phrase “daddy’s little girl”. (more…)
update 120807
Christine’s parents were in town for the past week for her mom’s annual cookie bake in St Louis. While they were here, an offer was made on their house back in Charlotte. After several counteroffers back and forth over the weekend, the buyers accepted the final offer on Monday. My in-laws have to be out of the house by the 2nd week of January. So they extended their stay and spent the entire week making arrangements for movers and storage while also customizing every aspect of the house they’re building here in town. Christine and I are working on cleaning out Daniel’s old playroom so her parents can stay with us while their new home is being built (the guest room is being converted into the nursery).
Her parents bought us a new bed for Christmas; the previous mattress was so old it literally was a pain to sleep on it. And with Christine pregnant, it’s not good for her to have sleepless nights and back pain. The new bed is a welcome change; king-size and firm. We still wake up several times at night – she because of the pregnancy, me because of Salem (I’ve been told that the dog is prepping me for the baby).
¿Dónde Está Ché Pelotas?
My cousin Ren and his band of fellow traveling movie makers have finally put out the trailer for the biggest movie of the year…
Easily the most talked about movie of the year, decade, and perhaps century. A compelling tale of a silky smooth criminal, whose trail of destruction leads people to ask, Where is CHE PELOTAS? He’s loved by the people, but despised by the two Interpol Officers on the case. Will these two officers be the ones to finally answer the question, ¿DÓNDE ESTà CHE PELOTAS?

unseasonably warm
Windy, rainy, and warm. A stark contrast from what we experienced a year ago.
