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...

Oscar Night 2006
What Finding Nemo wasnt nominated?
Baby Einstein didnt get the oscar for best special effects? Baby Einstein... what a racket... some lady films her kids toys and adds budget classical music in the background and now she is a millionaire... What is next, that guy who used to be on the Facts of Life will win an oscar?
My tux is sweet!

Patterson Park
Maddux enjoying the park with grandma and grandpa right around the corner from our house. There is a pond where Maddux likes to chase the ducks around. Have you ever seen a happier kid?

Finding Nemo
There are 2 great things in Baltimore.. Camden Yards and the Baltimore Aquarium (my hospital isnt too bad either, but my boss doesnt read this website). Check out their web page:
http://www.aqua.org/
Hey, on Friday night, kids get in free and parents are 1/2 price!
Maddux with his girlfriend Hallie (isnt she a cutie!) Maddux was wearing his new shirt from Cheryl that Maddux got for my birthday (isnt having kids great)!
We are saving right now for Hallie's dowry... both of her parents are doctors, so it shouldnt be too much!
Maddux searched hi and low for Nemo... He finally found nemo... Then daddy found Chipotle and a 6 pack of beer. What a great night!

Jay-z, The Blue Grotto and Capri, Italy
Mommy and Daddy on their Honeymoon in Capri... Ask us for the story about Jay-Z one day!
Ok, fine we will tell you...
Jay-Z {sansa Beyonce as the Italians would say} was docked on a yacht in the Mediterannean just off the rock beach from our hotel. In fact, he played loud music and fireworks were routinely shot off the deck of the yacht during all hours of the night. One day, his friends were hanging out in a piazza on the Island. Seeing a fellow American, I decided to approach him and say, "Whats up"... After approaching the table and saying "Hi", everyone at the table stared at me like I was from Mars...
I was really angry and said, "If you dont want people coming up to you, then perhaps you should not sit at the corner table adjacent to a busy piazza!"
I went back up to my wife and said the Ja-Rule wouldnt talk to me and Michele said, "That isnt Ja-Rule you loser, that is Jay-Z"
Jay-Z forgot soon enough b/c when we went down to the Blue Grotto for a late evening swim, his yacht pulled up and his crew jumped off and swam with us in the blue grotto!
(For those who havent been, you do not need to take a boat in to the grotto! Walk to the grotta about 15 minutes after the last boat is scheduled to go and then you can swim right in to the blue grotto. A much better experience then paying 20$ to ride in the boat!)
The Chronicles of NARNIA
My favorite line is "You can call us Aaron Burr from the way we are dropping Hamiltons"
Hilarious short from SNL...
Maddux and The Train
Man, I havent seen a kid this happy on a train since Ricky Stratton from Silver Spoons (come on, you know you watched it right after Punky Brewster on Sunday nights!)
Maddux, Alfonso Ribero was on Silver Spoons too; My school had a rumor that Alfonso broke his neck breakdancing (it was probably that Jared kid)... As a result, my mom banned me from breakdancing and cut short what could have been a prolific career... Your dad could have starred in Electric Boogaloo 2...
Darn you urban legends...
