I just realized that it is VERY possible that my son could be born on 6/6/6!  How cool is that?

Being a huge Iron Maiden fan half of my life, I have grown up with the song “The Number of the Beast”.  My son could have such a number as his birthday.

Wow.

Every time he is asked his birthday, he can scream, “666!” and then throw his hand in the air with his pinky and index finger outstretched.

Wow.

More fun with 666 at Wikipedia.

We found out last week that we are having a boy. I always thought it would be better to have a girl first and boy second so that they are more evenly matched when they fight, but it turns out it matters to me more that I will AT LEAST have one boy. Too many of my friends have all girls.

Our favorite name right now is Phoenix. Seems like everyone likes it except for both sets of parents. We wanted something unique but easy to spell, and that actually meant somethng. But for me, I love “X”'s, and I love mythological and fantasy names.

No excuse, I know, for not posting in so long, but I went on vacation for a week, then got sick, and had work coming out of my ears.

Puerto Vallarta was great, stayed at a bitchen Villa up on a hill, and had a nice day golfing and losing 38 balls at the Jack Nicklaus course.

Still managed to get my geek on tho…

Some food…

Some shopping…

Some art…

Some architecture.
