We ventured over to national harbor tonight to eat at national pasttime. Dylan loves wearing his blazer every chance he gets and combined it with shorts this time. Btw, this restaurant has the worst host staff I've experienced in a long time. The restaurant was fine but not worth the attitude at host stand. Please people, it's a sports bar, not studio 54.

New Golden Gopher Stadium
My sister and a couple partners just launched a web site for the new University of Minnesota football stadium in Minneapolis. The site uses a lot of flash and includes really cool internal fly byes of different parts of the structure. This is a pretty jiggy stadium and borrows a lot from the original brick house I remember the Gophers playing in before it was torn down. They have played in the Metrodome for the last 25 plus years which is not conducive to football. Rach did a great job with this site. I feel like I've been there already. www.carpcake.com
On another note, I took some more pictures of the Carlyle House visit yesterday and put them up on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/homerclees/sets/72157606909764436/ Enjoy.

Another Broken Leg
Yep, Dylan was hopping around on a broken leg for the last couple weeks and although he did have three doctor visits, it took an orthopedic guy to spot the fracture and cast him up. It's a walking cast, so better than the one Sam had back in December but it's still a cast. Oh well, boys will break bones I guess.
I got back from Philadelphia at around noon today and have been around the house recovering since. It was great to see the boys again and do a lot of nothing for a little while. Back to work late tomorrow and then a weekend at home. I'm looking forward to that.

Hershey and Strasburg
Here are the photos from earlier this week. It's been a weird couple weeks with the trip to Minnesota, back to work for a day then off the Hershey then back to work a couple days and then a weekend. Kumie and Grandma are coming to town this week as is Uncle Adam on Saturday at Nissan Pavilion. I'm headed to Philly and won't see much of Kumie or Grandma but will be back for the show.
Played golf today, poorly and have a bunch of work to do before the board meeting and National Event in Philly. Off to bed.

Basement of Rock
Nicole and I un-packed the gifts Uncle Adam sent the kids and set them up in the basement last night. The drums being as loud as they are I believe that's where they will stay. I gave the boys the whole story that a Counting Crows truck backed up in the driveway last night and the roadies brought the equipment in, etc. They were pretty excited to see it and immediately started making a lot of noise.
We will bring them to Hershey with us this week but I don't know how the drums are going to work on stage with the band during Hangin Around. I'm sure they will be inaudible to the crowd but they may be a little distracting to the band on stage. It's surprisingly quiet on stage in a big arena with all the sound being projected out to the audience and the band all having individual monitors. We might have to find quiet drumsticks. Maybe Jim has some.
I posted a 160 pictures from the recent trip to Grandview Lodge in flickr this morning. Some pretty good shots of the kids in this batch. I actually used all three lenses I have for my D70 and a couple different filters. I case you missed the link above, here it is again.
