      Congrats! I for one am happy that you are a blogger. We need more great blogs (ok, I would never have time to read more great blogs but still).

      Here's to the next year and counting -- minus that break you'll likely be taking when junior arrives.

      That was awesome. And now I'll have that song with me all day too.

      Thanks!

      that was awesome (very creative)!! LOVE the pooches (it made me think that that kid of yours is gonna have you wrapped around his little finger! lol) My dogs play in much the same way... only each weighs about 10 lbs! lol

      Happy Anniversary!

      That was so creative! Made me wish I had video capabilities.

      Happy anniversary - I'm just a little older than you ...;-)

      That was so neat! What is that song?

      Comment by People in the Sun on 2:25 AM

      Dan, go ahead. I'm glad you liked it. (By the way, if you want to steal stuff, maybe you should make less noise. That's kind of the point of being a criminal mastermind).

      SJ, thanks. It went by very quickly. I think next year's video will look very different.

      Kev, thanks (and welcome).

      Tsedek, I hope I'll have time. Let's see if I manage the new work schedule I start on Thursday. My days are too short. It's probably a good thing that I feel life is too short, right?

      Mel, thank you. They are pretty goddamn cute.

      Catherine, did you check under your pillow? In fact, I've left a piece of chocolate cake under the pillow of each person that commented here. If you can't find it then the ants must have eaten it.

      Jennifer, aww, thank you. And I hope I won't have to take a break. After all, how will people know what it feels like to change diapers for the first time?

      Jeff, I heard that song a while ago and moved on with my life. Then I heard it again and did some air drumming. By the third time it was stuck in my brain. I love the way it randomly fits the video.

      Kate, no no no. Tough love. He's expected to read the Bible (in Latin) by the time he's three and start a new religion by the time he's five. Or it's military school.

      Shelli, thanks and thanks and thanks and thanks and thanks. I'm glad you like the video (it's my first one). That's the benefit of not having internet for a week--you find time to fool around with Windows Movie Maker.

      Ms. Q, seriously it took me two hours of cut-and-paste. And it was really fun. And I don't really have video capabilities (I couldn't even get my feet to move with the music in the video), but it still came out as a fun little thing, and I'm really glad you liked it.

      Woozie, in fact, I had to rearrange it a bit because originally I had the ultrasound picture randomly just after the red rocket video and it looked pervy. So yes, I noticed that (but was hoping other people wouldn't)...

      Jill, hey, I should have at least put it in the labels, right? I'll correct it now. And it's "Collection of Stamps" by I'm from Barcelona.

      Deb, thanks. And thanks. The second year is when it all happens. Can anyone even imagine Lost without the second season's "Tailies"? or without the third season's "Others"? Wait, does it mean I'm going to jump the shark soon?

      Jill, mission accomplished. I think. I don't know the MySpace lingo.

      Let's, thank you.

      Judith, I had no idea what I was doing at first, and a year later I think your new site is already more focused than mine. So just keep doing it. Maybe join Blog Explosion and Blog Catalog (the buttons are on the right sidebar) to see more blogs and discussions. And don't be discouraged if people take their time coming over. Good luck.

      Tricia, welcome, and thanks. I hope next year is even longer because I'm having a good time, relatively.

      Dave, hey, thanks. Here's to many more dings to come.

      Bunk, this parade was just a small part of the world-wide celebrations. I'm just grateful and feel blessed there were less than a hundred serious injuries in total.

      so beautiful, so moving, thank you for sharing your thoughts, dreams, fears, pleasures, and stories, thank you for being so gentle and witty and sweat and mensch. thank you for letting me know about your blog and blogs as such.
      may you long live to blog along with your grand grand sons and your beautiful wife and doggies.
      be happy.
      with love.

      Comment by People in the Sun on 7:31 PM

      Suzi, thanks. But it's more like my previous boss chose a good year to fire me. I knew it was all for the best, though (even if at times I may have doubted, I admit).

      Tsedek, I want to outlive everyone I know, like Highlander. I'm lying. But 120 is still... so soon...

      Simon, it took me years to train them to fight in time with the music. (and thanks).

      Jeronimo, awwww. I hope you especially liked the end of the video, with the two banners. Your banner really made all the difference.
