LATE NIGHT LASIK
Holy Snikies. Watch new Late Night host Jimmy Fallon get lasik surgery. A bit quease-inducing, but pretty cool. I did it in ‘08 and Mandy in ‘07. Ten-second surgery changed our lives forever.

WILD AND CRAZY NIGHT
He was born a poor black child, but since has aguably become the most accomplished comedian of our lifetime. Actor, screenwriter, stand-up, novelist, painter, musician and composer, Steve Martin never ceases to expose new dimensions of his creative genius. In short, he’s an all-time favorite. So imagine the excitement we felt on Sunday night when we attended New Yorker cartoonist and...

JOSHUA RADIN
Thanks to iLike, we caught wind of a Joshua Radin show which happened to land on birthday weekend. i.e. great gift idea from Mandy. Check him on iTunes if you’re not familiar. Two vids are below. You’re welcome for the free concert. First time at Webster Hall. Won’t be last. Such a great NYC venue. General Admission, “standing room only” tix, but we managed to...

SAN FRAN
In SF for a quick business trip.  Love this city.  Thanks to tvs on every Delta Airlines seatback (five straight hours of inauguration coverage) the cross-country trip never felt shorter.  Can he get inaugurated again tomorrow for the return flight?

FINALLY
Our 8-year advent calendar only has one little door that’s yet to be opened. Tomorrow morning, we shall scurry down the staircase and rip that little door off of its hinges.  It’s a new day.

OMAMA
Could my mom (far left, black dress) be any happier to be in this picture?   She volunteered for the campaign in PA and OH (both key wins!) and single-handedly changed the future of the world.  It was all her.

BIKER DUDE
Looky who landed the cover of the current issue of Adventure Cyclist.  None other than Uncle Frank!  And he swore he’d never pose nude for a magazine.  Guess every man has his price.  The fold-out on page 49 scarred me for life.

CHRISTMAS AT THE FARM
Learning to stitch photos together was like discovering that the pancake syrup also tastes incredible on the sausages. Life was never the same again. Chad, Grandma, Laura, Randy, Andrea, Robin, Skyler, Felicia, Rick, Jon, Vivian, Kelsi, Julie, Haley, Jimmy, Cory, Dad, Donnor, Blixen.

HIGH SCHOOL HILLARY
My mom realized a few years ago that she and Hillary Clinton overlapped a year at a Chicago suburb high school. Over Christmas break, while rummaging through the attic in search of He-Man action figures, I stumbled upon the yearbook featuring our next Secretary of State. Even creepier, on page 96 she was named ‘most likely to lose to a black man’. As student council president, she...

LET HIM EAT CAKE
Mere minutes into the new year, Mark lost our homemade trivia game (shoulda gone with ‘Wimbledon’) and had to eat half of the densest chocolate cake you’ve ever tasted (or tried to hold). The thing weighed more than Dick Clark. Great way to start on those ‘09 fitness goals.
