I'm really excited. This coming week, my brother and his wife will be arriving for a visit. Jake and Elizabeth live in Denver and we haven't seen them since January. I miss Jake and think often on how good it would be for me to hear him laugh again. Jake is one who has always brought joy into the lives of people around him. Not only that, but when you do manage to get him mad, he is easy to reconcile with because he laughs at anything that contains a sliver of humor. What? Jake is mad? Tell him that you hit the chicken crossing the road. BOOOM! Jake's not mad anymore. Instead, he is laughing and shaking his head and saying..."I hate you Joel" which means, "I wish I could be mad at you, but you are just so freaking funny I can't help but laugh!" Anyway, I can't wait to see him again. I also look forward to seeing Elizabeth. She likes baseball, and that is cool.
In other news, Gabriel shares things. For example, he decided today that he was going to share his toast stick with Pam. How nice.
In still more news, Pam is super mom. She manages to run a business, mother a child, and clean the apartment. I couldn't survive without her.
In even more news, I got a new phone. It is the Palm Centro. It is so cool, I've renamed it the Palm Centro 43000X. I did this for two reasons. Cool things have super big numbers and the letter X involved in their names. The second reason is because there are at least 43000 cool things that the phone can do. For instance, since working at North Ridge Community Church I've been forced to get somewhat organized. I keep a Google calendar updated with various appointments and deadlines. This phone allows me to sync my calendar directly to my phone, complete with alarms to remind me of important things. Also, it has a touch screen, which is so now. It is an MP3 player, an electronic Sudoku game, an alarm clock, a Bible (yes I have palm software with the NIV, KJV, and NLT on it), a Microsoft Power Point, Excel, and Word program, camera, video recorder, voice memo recorder, navigator, address book, text messenger, and...oh, a phone. This phone does a whole slew of things too that I don't know anything about. I did learn that if someone with another palm wants something that is on my phone we can "beam" the info to each other by setting our phones next to each other and telling it what to beam. It is so treky. This is useful because when my boss, Doug, saw my phone he decided he was going to trade his and get and Palm Centro 543223049X (bigger number because he definitely wouldn't go for a 43000X if you knew Doug you'd understand). Anyway, I can't wait to "beam" things to him. It will be fun.
I feel the need to wrap this up with a typical wrapping up sentence. So here goes...
"That's all folks"

Your Palm Centro 43000X sounds amazing. I have a Motorola 12.3. It's not quite as nifty. BUT, we're probably going to get an iPod Touch 320016Z in a few weeks, so I'm excited to fiddle with it. I'm glad you get to beam stuff to Doug.
We're excited too. We really miss you guys. Your wife posts so many cute and funny things about your kid that we're really interested to see if he ever does NOT smile.
I like how you briefly touch on how great your wife is, then launch into a lengthy discourse on the admirable qualities of your phone. :)
Tough crowd, isn't it?
That is one more nice thing said about you in my blog than said about me in your blog. Thank you very much.
If people see this they are going to realize that we are talking back and forth on a blog rather than looking at each other across the vast expanse of 5 feet that seperate us. LOL!
Not true. Please refer to April 11.
1000 sorries from me. I got mentioned in one day. I am totally going to dedicate my entire next blog entry to you.
I mean, can't I at least be Pam 43000X?
I am going to bed. You could too, but it sounds like you have a post to write.
