So after much debate (not really) I succumbed to the will of the wife and we went to get the ultra-sound (I wanted to be surprised). It was cool. The little bugger sure does move a lot. Kept shifting around. Oh and as Patty says, "KIDS GOT A BIG HEAD". I guess you'd have to be a mother to notice that. I thought the coolest part was watching the heart beat and seeing the spine. It's not everyday I get to watch a heart beating and get to see a living skeleton moving. Patty says it has my big nose (poor kid) and likes the God given pacifier known as a thumb.
Anyway, thanks to the wonders of modern technology I can with relative surety declare what few parents (relatively) in the history of humanity have been able to declare; We are having a.............
BABY
oh yeah, you already knew that....
ok, without further adoo...
It's a BOY
Which Darrien is very excited about. I believe his word were "WE WON!".. out of the mouths of babes...

Brian Rohrbough-who's son was slain at Columbine
October 2nd, on the freespeech portion of a CBS news program, Brian Rohrbough, the father of a boy slain at Columbine, offered an opinion.
"I am saddened and shaken by the shooting at an Amish school today, and last week's school murders. When my son Dan was murdered on the sidewalk at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, I hoped that would be the last school shooting. Since that day, I've tried to answer the question, 'Why did this happen?'
This country is in a moral free-fall. For over two generations, the public school system has taught in a moral vacuum, expelling God from the school and from the government, replacing him with evolution, where the strong kill the weak, without moral consequences and life has no inherent value.
We teach there are no absolutes, no right or wrong. And I assure you the murder of innocent children is always wrong, inclucing by abortion. Abortion has diminished the value of children.
Suicide has become an acceptable action and has further emboldened these criminals. And we are seeing an epiemic increase in murder-suicide attacks on our children.
Sadly, our schools are not safe. In fact, we now witness that within our shcools. Our children have become a target of terrorists from within the United States."
Now this seems like a pretty accurate depiction of the current state of our education system to me. But viewers thought differently. Here are some of thier responses......
"Brian Rohrbough lost a son.. apparently he also lost his grip on reality."
"It's amazing over the last 24 hours all the Christian fanatic fundies who normally don't watch CBS News have flooded this site with praise for Brian Rohrbough. News sure travels fast in the fascist-wing blogosphere."
"CBS is pandering to right-wing-nuts.."
I guess I just find it disturbing when people can be so biased as to refuse to see the truth which stares them in the face.
On a different note, I finished reading Job today.
"Who then is able to stand against Me?
Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him?
Everything under heaven is MINE!"
Just a reminder in case you had forgotten.

Toy Soldiers brave away those tears
toy soldiers hope for better years
today I strike out on my own
the dog is dead, the kids have grown
ay didly oh, didn't you know
you fade once you glow
didn't you know child
after the rhyme high time
didly oh didn't you know
you fade once you glow
didn't you know child
after the rhyme high time.
CARBON LEAF on the brain. Just spent a few days down in San Diego. I was in school while the fam got to play at Old Town San Diego. I think I got the short end of the stick in that deal. They had a good time though and I learned alot. Now all I have to do is take it back to work and apply it.
Patty is starting to feel the baby. It's cool. She's big for four months. I keep telling her it's twins. we'll find out on Wednsday.
My Dad came to town with my Mustang. Now I have to figure out what to do with her. Poor girl needs a home which I don't have right now. I certainly can't afford to fix her yet. HMMM. I'll worry about that tomorrow.
off to bed. goodnight.

Quotes from Albert Einstein
The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest
What does a fish know about the water in which it swims all its life?
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe
The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.
The physicists say that I am a mathematician, and the mathematicians say that I am a physicist. I am a completely isolated man and though everybody knows me, there are very few people who really know me.
The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax
Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing
Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.
I don't believe in mathematics
Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Before God we are all equally wise — and equally foolish.
The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality
To punish me for my contempt of authority, Fate has made me an authority myself.
