Stogies? Why not?
I am officially an uncle.
Exploding into this realm with Japanese action sound effects, Jacob Flanders made his presence known to world at 6:12pm PST.
I think somewhere in the background Tom Petty was playing.

Soles worn through to the heel on yet another pair of shoes. Next time you see me roamin' the streets it'll be in these bad boys.
Not Jerusalem Cruisers, but

Baseball & The Guy Sitting Next to Us
Three people in the office today, so my colleague Michael and I decided to pull a Ferris and bolt for the smell of stale beer and hot dogs at Coors Field for the 1:05 Rockies v. Cubs game. The relatively new park has definitely lost the new park smell, initiated with a shower of toppled beer and nachos.
A few brews, a lot of shelled peanuts, a BP ball, and a nice sunburn later a stronger bond was forged and the victors smiled. (Though, a little conflicted over the fact that the ballpark offers a footlong brat.)
It never ceases to amaze the amount of info that can sail under the radar in the work environment. During 9 innings of banter I discovered that my colleague worked with Oliver North as part of the task force created when the Iraqis invaded Kuwait in 1990, completed his Master's thesis on switching development indicators from economic to social and the impact of having a social scientist on assessment teams, he studied at AUC, and I received a ton of great advice and connections regarding MPH programs that I am currently looking at.
How much do you really know about the people you work with? The people in your organization? Your teachers?
As we try to expand our networks, I feel that we often look for the big name, "I have an in with Bill Gates" connections and fail to really develop and appreciate the potential of more intimate connections.

These hillbilly lads (and lady) from Fond du Lac are puttin' out some really solid bluegrass music, especially considering they are only 18. Big fan of "Came Like the Wind". Waiting for the Fondy Pride song.
