breaking silence

Hello, folks! What a break! I was very very busy and felt like I was going from one thing to another. Isaac, his brother, and his brother’s girlfriend all came to visit us this weekend (leaving today). We had a great time! Paul took 4 days off work and hung out with them.

american consumerism in a nutshell

Recently I saw this commercial on TV for a cell phone company: [kml_flashembed movie=”http://www.youtube.com/v/PPM7L95oW3Y” height=”355″ width=”425″ /] I entitle this: “American consumerism in a nutshell”. If you can’t see the video, here is the scene: Two children are lounging in the living room, reading magazines. Their father comes in and informs them that he has taken advantage of a new cell plan and now they can do all sorts of stuff (text and pics) with their phones. The kids tell…
