For the very few (if any) who visit this site...step on over to the new location.
http://thebestthing.wordpress.com/
All the old content is there and there's a new gimmick. Thoughts on the best thing(s) about a variety of topics. Also, I've been feeling the heat from some of my friends and family to get off my ass and post more frequently. To that end, I'm kicking off a year-end post-a-thon. 31 posts in 31 days. (Maybe more.) Of course my motivation is to rise to the challenge raised by my wife.
Still building the other site so I'll get it cleaned up and have it running smoothly soon. For now...at least I'm going to post again.
One more thing...you can find me on twitter here: http://twitter.com/kenmyers.
Enjoy.

What? A post?
Right...so, here I am.
Fresh Beckett-ish photos.
Our friend Joy sent us this great painting of Beckett's name. Love it!

KC, Devil Bunnies, Egg Hunts, and Easter Fun
Let's see...
Visited KC last weekend. Popped in on Grandnan and the Great-Grandfather. Bex had never met him. It was a good time. Hooked up with one of Jess' blog buddies. A very successful meeting. We'll see them again in June. Photos: http://picasaweb.google.com/jjmvietnam/PlayDateKansasCityStyle
We had lunch at Rainforest Cafe. Despite expectations that the kids might not be down with the theme, they seemed reasonable nonplussed by the whole affair.
Took the Bex to the Plaza...see they have these mildly frightening seasonal bunnies all over the Plaza and my mom really wanted photos of him and the bunnies...see the horror here: http://picasaweb.google.com/jjmvietnam/HoppyEaster03
Seriously though, it was cute and fun. Really good getting to see family.
Weekend bonus...our friends the Condrays were in KC as well so we met them at Cheesecake Factory. Oh so corporate...but oh so good.
As for the more current weekend....nice. Egg hunts and easter fun.

And...lawn mowing. Yep...it's that time again. While the grass was generally okay...the weeds and dandelions were sprouting embarrassingly in the front yard and had to be contained.

I'm all a twitter...
Seems that Barack Obama uses Twitter.
http://twitter.com/BarackObama
He's not tweeting too often...and he's not really saying anything but it's kinda neat nonetheless. I can't imagine HC or JM using Twitter (or even knowing what it is).

You're not supposed to make fun of big tentacled evil monsters...

Miscellaney
So, the MacBook is a wonderful piece of hardware. I'm very happy and don't miss Windows at all. Of course, it does ease the transition having my work laptop in case I run into something that requires a Windows-specific application.
The holidays came and went (clearly). Great fun all around. Mother came for a nice visit and even watched Bex on New Years Eve so that Jess and I could visit with some friends. Mr. Bex scored a lot of fun swag and thoroughly enjoys ripping the wrapping off of gifts; whether they're his or not. In his world, wrapped items must belong to him.
Te little guy is adding more words to his comprehension...if we could just get him to say them. But...he looked right at Vagabond tonight and said, "Doggie." Jess and I looked at each other in disbelief. Did he really say that? We agree that he did but no amount of coaxing could get him to utter it again.
He's now 18 -months old and is a severe daredevil. The dude knows no fear. Thrills seem to bring a smile to his face. I fear the future and the broken bones.
Soccer season begins in 3 days and I am sorely out of shape. I've been a large slug over the past month. I'm sure I will get my ass handed to me. Oh well, it will be fun nonetheless.
I was visiting the site of a very old (and dear) friend, Carolyn. She mentioned in a post on her site about some sledding with her family and reminisced about an evening of sledding over Christmas break our freshman year of college. For me it was the last time I saw her. We've managed to keep in sporadic touch (largely due to her diligence) and almost met in Chicago a couple years ago but she was very pregnant and something social really wasn't feasible. Still, I keep hoping my work will send me back to Chicago and we can try again. I would love to meet her husband and children. Anyway back to the sledding...
I recall Sarah, Ajay, Carolyn, for certain but I also think Paul, Brian P. and Anne S were also there. Good friends and good times. I know that it was the last time I was sledding and I treasure the memory. Arkansas winters generally aren't agreeable for sledding and when we've had snow...I've been without a sled. Luckily, with Bex here, I bet we'll keep a sled on hand. I want to thank Carolyn for mentioning the sledding and also for lurking around my site and Jess' site. You inspired me to get out of my no-posting funk. Maybe it can become a trend.
