A Flock of Moosen

I'm at work right now and was just answering an email to one of the people I interned with under a professor this year. Our internship is coming to an end; it's been great, but not sad to see it wrapping up. Someone made a joke about writing a Festschrift for the professor as a gift at the end of the year (Festschrift is a German word for a collection of essays written in honor of a scholar). Anyway, I wanted to reply, and was looking the word up to make sure that I had spelled it right when I noticed that the plural for Festschrift is FestschriftEN, and I got a big kick out of it. But I knew that just like the joke about writing a Festschrift is too nerdy to be funny for anyone reading this, any joking about Boxen or Moosen would not be nerdy enough for everyone getting the email.

I promise, no more nerd jokes beyond this point.

That's P...Like in Pneumonia

Well, I'm pleased to announce that I finally found some more Brian Regan. My sister, Noelle, has been in town for her Spring Break, and we've really had a good time catching up with her. She and I went to lunch on Tuesday and had a great conversation about churches and the importance of doctrine and community. She came over last night, to hang out with Kara, Walker, and me, and we all enjoyed having her (especially Walker). Of much less importance, she found more Brian Regan bits and burned them to a CD for us...I'm sending some with the Walker Grandparents for their trip, so most readers is this web of blogs should have access to it if they want. I also found a link to recent stand-up from Brian when I was looking for this picture. I haven't watched any yet, but feel confident in recommending any Brian Regan comedy.

The Birds

Often a post entitled "The Birds" would conjure many Hitchcock-hued images as seen here, or perhaps the foul fears of avian flew. But this week will be filled with more pleasant fowel. Wonderful, magical birds that have been chosen and prepared in a variety of ways. Some will be basted and baked, while others are injected and fried.










But some of the most delectable birds will be wearing other birds this season. I give you...a meat among meats. Many have attempted such collabortion (Theta Barnes, and others), but none have succeeded in topping the Turducken-Stuffing wearing a Chicken wrapped in Duck inside a Turkey:

Walker's home

I'm sorry; Kara and I haven't taken the time to post anything new on our blogs--we're busy being enammered with Walker! He's a precious little wad of a baby who squeaks more than he cries. I'm sure that will change later, and his sounds will be sweet even with stronger lungs, but until then, we're enjoying his soft "squeakings." Here are a few pictures of him after we brought him home--Kara and I will post more this afternoon on the blog we don't share with our first son.
