Wife Smartie Pants

So Julie is quite smart....

She just started a graduate program at Texas (see post on April 3rd). She has taken 9 hrs, and it is going really well. She has gotten great feedback from both instructors that she has worked with, and has been doing some fascinating research on Dyslexia. Through that, one of her professors Nancy Roser asked her to be a graduate editor of some manuscripts send in by faculty members around the country. The papers are 15-20 pages, and fairly well written (duh, the people writing them are Dr.)...not exactly freshman comp papers. There are going to be 15 or so of them, and most of the work on the project will be able to be accomplished in between semesters. To be asked was a real honor, and Julie and I were ecstatic...oh yeah, and she gets paid....Whoop!

Congrats to Julie, send her and email or give her a call (she hates it when I brag about her :)

XBOX 360 - Warning GEEKY POST

I am really looking forward to the 360, better graphics, (hopefully) great titles, etc. I am getting a bit P.O.ed that there is such speculation as to who is going to have how many boxes at launch. I sold my box, so I am currently Haloless, with no hope for a box on launch (suposedly). No one trusts Microsoft is not creating this shortage to increase demand. No one seems to know if this "shortage" is fabricated, or reality (i.e. PSP shortage). I preordered at Gamestop, and I am second shipment, so I am fairly confident that I am out of luck for the 22nd. Oh well, there is not Halo 3 at launch, and that gives my parents plenty of time to figure out that they are buying me one for Christmas :)

Does this frighten anyone else...

Yeh, it's a grown man, and a good friend of mine, but wow! Dana is an old boss of mine, and a good friend, we play Halo 2 together, watch NASCAR (both on his massive HDTV), etc. Nice familia, wife 2 kiddos etc.

Love you Dana :)

Old

One of the DEEPies (JoJoD) and I were talking about reading each other's blogs. The she says..."I feel weird reading your blog."

"Why JoJoD?"

"It is like reading my mom's blog"

"Why"

"'Cause you're old..."
