BA thanks, we kept the news pretty close to the cuff for no real strong reason. The past 38 weeks was really rough on B, real rough; she was a real champ.

Good almost afternoon men

on vacation starting today until August 5th. prepping for my trip to Lake Champlain tomorrow for 3 days of fishing. Hoping to catch some of the big smallies I hear about from everyone that fishes there. We leave at 4:30am so I'll be up real early in the morning. Yesterday my father spent the morning in the hospital with severe stomach pain. turns out he passed a kidney stone and had some small traces still in his bladder. Not exactly the news I wanted to hear right before I take off for the weekend. talked to him last night and he said he was feeling better already which was good and I'll go check on him this afternoon.



Have a great day everyone!

Hello all! July 23rd, we welcomed two new little people into our family. Everyone is doing great and healthy! It was a long pregnancy and really pushed B to the limit.

See a photo of them with their adoring big sister below along with details of our nearly 15lbs of arrivals!

Vera Vasiliki: (on right in photo)

Height/weight-- 19½”, 7lbs, 8oz

Meaning truth or faith, she’s named for B’s great grandma Vera Gilmore Gibson, the only other twin in the family; and G’s Yia-yia, Vasiliki Calfas; her Greek name day is October 4th (Bridget’s birthday!)

Gabriel Aristotle:

Height/weight-- 20½”, 6lbs, 13oz

Meaning “God is my strength” and Aristotle is of course G’s “real” name; there are many Orthodox name days including the Synaxis of the Archangel Gabriel on July 13th (George’s birthday).

Congrats to you and the fam, George !!!

Good afternoon guys.

George- Congrats to you and the family! Incredible!

I have a moral dilemma and I would like your input.

I was one of twenty who won a contest from Klipsch Audio to do a Google + hangout with Roy Hibbert. Due to technical difficulties, it was not able to happen. Klipsch had Roy sign 20 pairs of headphones to send to the 20 of us who did not get to have the hangout.

Since Friday, I have been seeing people tweet pictures of their signed headphones arriving. They were receiving $350 M40 headphones. Those are the top of line Klipsch headphones. Today, I received mine. It's $50 earbuds. I know it's free and I am grateful, but I feel really let down.

The dilemma and question is this, am I wrong to say something? That is a pretty big disparity there. We all missed out on the same opportunity, why were we not all sent the same thing?

I talked to Crystal and she agrees with me. I really feel that I am right, but I feel bad about myself for being disappointed and a little upset about this.

If it were a contest that required some sort of entry fee - I'd say something. Being completely free, I'd take it. There's an old saying about a gift horse.
