5 Weeks and counting!

Well, we are only 5 weeks away until Lindsey delivers our baby.  We are very excited and can't wait to receive this baby into our home.  We haven't quite yet determined a name, although we do have a few we like.  We're thinking that we're going to wait until the baby arrives and decide then what name we want to give him.  I like the name Calvin and Lindsey does too, its just that we're not quite so set on it yet.  Lindsey also likes the name Sawyer.  I could work with that. 

So, that latest fad in the Jensen family is the television series Lost.  If you haven't seen the NBC series, I'd encourage you to.  For a while, we were big 24 fans but that got kind of old and to think that that much action could happen within 24 hrs.  Ya, right!  But Lost, we have found that to be far more amusing and action packed (moderate action - not so much as 24).  So far, we're nearly half way through the second season.  The fourth season starts on television this December.  Don't watch it on TV until you have finished the three previous seasons.   I am also a HUGE fan of The Office (Thursday nights at 8:00 pm, NBC).  That is a show that I hope never goes out of style.

So, Lindsey's family had their annual Halloween party.  Lindsey went as a pregnant nun and went as a priest.  Some of the other costumes at the party included Nacho Libre and Incarnacion, as well as the Ninja Turtles, Ketchup and Mustard, and the Tooth Fairy.  We had a good time.  Both Lindsey and I can't believe that Fall is nearly over.  This picture here on the right is from Cascade Springs in AF Canyon.  We took a family outing up there and found Autumn to be in full bloom.  Would Autumn be in full bloom or is that Spring?  Maybe I should say Autumn in full un-bloom.  Well, we're excited for the holiday season and the very special gift we get have for this Christmas season.

What Would Our World Do Without Them

What would our world do without people like Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Spe-han-ton (Spears, Lohan, & Hilton), and Sean Penn? I can't think of a more influential group of icons, along with a few others, that can captivate a global audience like they can. And to think that we're captivated!

I mean, think of all the wonderful things Al Gore has done for our world. He's actually done so much that he has a shot at the Nobel Peace Prize. Wow! If he does win it, then he has proven to the world that ANYBODY can do it. All you need is compelling story, inaccurate facts, and idiot supports and you'll win. If Al can do it, I can do it. Let me put it this way: if I had received the Nobel Peace Prize for any previous work to help mankind, I'd give mine back. It is insulting to think that by educating the world with inaccurate and falsely researched facts on global warming, it can deserve such a prestigious recognition. I'm not saying that global warming isn't true (research ocean currents), but I am saying that he is misinformed and has misled a lot of people. That's a disservice and probably deserves the Nobel Conflict Prize. Think about it. All he's created is world conflict on this matter!

What about Hillary Clinton? What a super example of getting what you want. If I can have her same attitude in life, I'll get whatever I want. All I have to do is be willing to go on rampages and have a hot temper. Or what about Spe-han-ton? I couldn't ask for a better group of young women to set an example of irresponsibility for our young women. They're drug addicts, alcoholics, and sexual icons. Just what I want for my future daughters.

And then there is Sean Penn. I've always thought he was a good actor but boy, I couldn't believe how well he performed in Venezuela. I mean, I was almost convinced that he was actually trying to befriend a communist. He sure had me going for a while.

Maybe the reason why we as a society are so captivated by such public figures is because of their absolute idiocy, ignorance, and self-idolization and we just can't believe our eyes. Thank goodness, though, that there are people out there who do portray positive and optimistic influences, character, and outright good morals.
