The Ripstik Boy

We gave this to Jacob for Christmas. When we bought it we thought it was a regular skateboard with 4 wheels on the bottom. Well to our surprise, when he opened Christmas morning, it only had two wheels and those rotated and turned in every directions. Needless to say he tried it once and it was tossed to a corner in the garage for weeks. Well this past Saturday he got it out, put on his elbow/knee pads and helmet and went at it. He didn't get very far at first and by the end of the day he was riding it down the driveway. Now he can ride it all the way down the sidewalk.

    Those things are impossible.
    Of course it took the boys just a short time to learn it (just like Jacob) but if an adult steps onto it... instant bodily injury ;)

Pesky little things.

So this is a yellow jacket. Last night Ralph was stung multiple times by them. Not really sure how many but enough that he was carried away in an ambulance and taken to the hospital. After he was stung he started to complain that he couldn't see, couldn't breath and was dizzy. We were walking to the car to take him the the ER and before he could get to the car he collapsed. And let me tell you, I do not respond well to these situations. I panic and don't know what to do. Basically act like a blubbering idiot. Thank God for some fast acting neighbors! But all is well after being pumped with benadryl and steroids. We left a few hours later with a prescription for an epipen.

Funny Friday and CS4

I've been laughing my ass off all morning. I came across this comic strip this morning and literally spewed my coffee everywhere. For the last few weeks I've been waking Ralph up with foot rubs and back rubs trying to butter him up. When I saw this comic strip I felt totally busted! I don't think I realized what I was doing but it's pretty obvious after reading this. My friend Kelly linked me up to this site a few weeks ago. Very funny stuff. Check him out at What the Duck In other news....yesterday I downloaded the upgrade for CS4 and I am impressed! I've barely scratched the surface but so far the tab view is my new best friend. Yesterday I played around with the "content aware cropping" and that thing just blows my mind. If you haven't seen the video on that check it out here . Oh and the new adjustments window in pretty cool too. You can read more about the software review here. So if you've been on the fence about upgrading to CS4 I...
