Developmental Zydeco
Babies love zydeco music! In this photo, Mama dances with li'l Leighton to some Dwayne Dopsie & the Zydeco Hellraisers. (and man can she Cajun two-step!) And, as this article points out, zydeco music is good for babies! Naturally.... Did wonders for Uncle Chrissy's hangover at Jazz Fest. Now we know that zydeco has not only medicinal properties, but developmental ones as well!
The Men in Black
Johnny Cash tribute today - "A Call to Wear Black for Johnny Cash" His family & producer Rick Rubin asked that people wear black as today would have been his 78th birthday and they are releasing "America VI - Ain't No Grave" today. One for Johnny...

Colbert @ the Olympics
Stephen relaxes with an issue of "Cat Fancy" magazine during Speedskating. He also tried to call a time-out before they started. There are, of course, no timeouts in speedskating. He also used a speedskate to spread condiments on a sandwich & then slice it.

Will Wright Lecture
Why games are good for learning, from the Master. At NYU. A tremendous amount of information, ultimately validating our approach. I am enthused...
Yay Leighton!

Happy Mardi Gras!
Baby's First Mardi Gras! Given that we're stuck in the snowy north & can't get to New Orleans, we'll have to substitute a costumed family portrait with this one from recent giftwrap. Mommy's the monkey, Daddy's the lion & Leighton's the "Li'l Gator"

Congregation's Second Line
Further proof, as if needed, that New Orleans is just a little bit more magical than anywhere else...
Colbert & the Olympics
Genius. Perfectly captures the spirit of friendly international competition & the brotherhood of mankind.
Hell Has Frozen Over
As might be expected given the Saints winning the Super Bowl, Hell appears to have frozen over. Several Mardi Gras parades were canceled due to snow & sleet in New Orleans. Also, Gano (who eschews all sport) was seen not only watching televised sport, but actively cheering & wearing sports attire. Chilling.

The Li'l'est Saint
Baby's First Super Bowl. Li'l Leighton was incredible good luck for the Saints, which makes sense given how he came in to the world during the playoffs and his New Orleans namesake.
In fact, every time he was brought back in to the room something good happened for the team. And despite his Daddy jumping around, hootin' & hollerin' and generally carrying on, he slept through a lot of the festivities. But his mojo was there!
During the 2nd half, when The Wyfe brought him back out after a feeding, she sat down in our living room and asked me to bring her a beer. I dutifully did so and one of our guests yelled out, "Now get back in your seat!" I blurted out, "it's gonna be an interception to win the game."
and the Porter interception of Manning happened RIGHT THEN! Mojo, baby...
Vast congratulations to New Orleans, the Saints, and the Brees family. Wish we could be there, but we'll get our Li'l Saint there soon enough.
Saint Victory Parade
Please pay particular attention to the bus driver. Happy days in New Orleans!

An Open Letter to the Indianapolis Colts
To Whom It May Concern,
I am far too cute for you to win. Give up. I came in to this world during the playoffs & my parents met in New Orleans. If you fail to heed my warning... well.... I may just poop myself.
Strong letter to follow (once I can write).
Sincerely yours,
Handsome Young Prince in a Random Bear Suit
