Saturday Morning Lamentations

A bit of old news for those in the know, but I am super-bummed that both Young Justice and Green Lantern the Animated Series are NOT being renewed on Cartoon Network...

Young Justice featured the teenage sidekicks of some iconic super-heroes in the Justice League, that really saw the characters grow AND have an engaging (and often angsty) plot, while Green Lantern really pulled off what became an epic cosmic space adventure...

My consolation prize is a whole slew of great selections from Cartoon Network have been added to Netflix, including the entire Justice League series, and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Also making my way through the Ultimate Spider-man cartoon, which is classic Saturday morning fun, filled with fun sight gags such as...

April Update

Just a quick check-in as I relearn how to construct sentences:

• Welcomed my son Jacob into the world on April 1st at 11:15am! Many future blog posts to feature the little guy, who is healthy and doing the things a newborn should do...namely eat, sleep, and poop...sometimes all at once.
• Recovery for the wife has been more challenging, but we've been seeing improvement each week. Overwhelmed by the love, help, and support we've received from friends and family.
• Boston Marathon bombings: in short, it was shocking but just incredible to see the city (especially the police) rally together for a single purpose.
• My Mom is with us for two weeks and has been a huge blessing...and our place has never been so clean and well stocked with food.
• Survived my first week back to the office, which wouldn't have been possible without the bullet above.

Thank you and good night...

Sharing a song for Good Friday

It is Good Friday, and I was blessed earlier this week  to have Nichole Nordeman's rendition of How Deep the Father's Love For Us come up on my playlist. The powerful lyrics accompanied by her soft, almost wounded voice, do a great job in cutting right to the heart:

   

May this Easter weekend be a time of deep reflection, as well as a joyful time with friends and family!

Goats yelling like humans and babies eating wasabi
