Registered

With the wedding on the horizon, Erica and I made sure that our registrys were up to date and ready to rock and roll.  They have all the generic wedding items (smoker, meat slicer, belgian waffle maker) and those odd ball items (silverware, plates, etc) but I thanks to Amber, I think I found the ultimate gift.

Ladies and Gents, I present to you……

Wake ‘n Bacon

Why doesn’t Amazon.com or Bed, Bath and Beyond have this!!  And I thought waking up to Nelson and Digital Underground was as good as it gets…

en francais s’il vous plait

In preparation for our honeymoon (we’re going to Paris) it was decided that we should brush up on our French.  I am pretty sure that they won’t grade me on my use of accents so I think that we will be ok, but a little refresher is a good idea.  We were lucky enough to be set up with a foreign language program withouth shelling out a ton of money (cost of a beer) and launched right into the lessons.  They say a phrase in French and then you read it and pick the photo that is the accurate description.  Easy enough.  As we went though I realized that a lot of the photos are kind of old and well…bad.  I decided to jump ahead a few lessons but cut it short when I saw the photo above.  I know that is says the man throws the boy, but….I think it is a little awkward.  I’ll let YOU be the judge.
