I Would Attempt To Win A Gold Medal If This Was The National Anthem I Heard

I adore Marvin. I am not a basketball fan and I by no means support Nike but when this commercial comes on I have to stop the DVR, rewind and take a listen. It is the most impressive version of the national anthem I have ever heard and I've watched a lot of Olympics, Super Bowls and Stanley Cups in my day. This is the original footage. It's also pretty cool that this was a Nuggets game or is it an All Star game???.


Okay, if that doesn't give you goose bumps you had better be Canadian.

Another commercial I was completely infatuated with was this one. It reminds me of childhood when we would pick our heroes to play in our pick up games. If you asked Lucy she would pick Diego, Totoro, Woody, Remy, Ariel, Willy Wonka, Peter Pan, Po and the Iron Giant for her "run around the yard and completely irritate the poor dog" competition.

Say, what's cooking?

I had signed up for blogger a month after Lucy was born with the intention to keep family and friends updated on how the babe was doing. But after a month of sleeping, peeing, and pooping and not much else; well, who really cares about that? Our upcoming roadtrip and extended stay in Cali rejuvenated the idea of keeping a blog as well as saving face with family members who do not get regular updates on how Lucy is doing.
Initially, Bell eschewed joining the trendy blogging craze, but he has since had 4 posts to my 1. I guess once he realized that he could make this a vehicle for his esoteric atmospheric ramblings, he was on board. Since this is my first official post, I thought I would welcome you with the best children's show intro ever. You never knew Morgan Freeman was so groovy.
