Easter Sunday






Easter Sunday was very peaceful.

Viva Las Vegas



Caesar says go to vegas!

Cubs vs Cardinals






GAME #3 of the Cubs Cardinals series at the new Busch stadium.

The game was on WGN, so we sat down to watch, but MOMMY had a surprise for daddy.

She dressed maddux up in his Greg Maddux jersey and his cardinals hat! Then she got out the BROOM, b/c the cardinals were going for a sweep!!!!

Maddux had the last laugh(as you can see in picture #4 where he is throwing the broom into the basement!) as the cubbies won 7-3 and Greg Maddux pitched 7 innings of shutout baseball.

Can you say 5th Cy Young?

National Zoo





Our afternoon at the Zoo was great! We went to Washington DC to see the National Zoo. We even got in to see the Panda, Tai Shan. Maddux favorite was the giraffe. Seeing all those animals caged up made me feel great to be a human being. Working all day in my cubicle... Hey, wait a minute!

Maddux had a couple of interesting questions, like, "How does a giraffe overcome all that dead space during respiration?". I said, "Great question maddux!" Please refer to this landmark paper in Nature. "Dad, how does a giraffe get blood to its brain, it must have a long carotid artery?" That maddux, he is something special...
