A couple of weeks ago, Mindfly's resident Neighborhood-kids.com journalist Theresa Carpine discovered a really fun local (Bellingham, Wa) website faces of Bellingham© and since that time it has sort of been "the buzz" around our office. The website is proof that a great website idea does not have to be complicated.
Lea Kelley (the photographer and owner of faces of Bellingham©) came into the Mindfly Studio yesterday and took pictures of Theresa, John and I.

Great job Lea ... and thanks!
Having trouble sleeping is nothing new to me. While everyone else in the house is quitely sombering I often times get up and either mess around on a script, play some sort of game or watch the tube until I get tired enough to pass out. Last night, I decided to try to cut things short, took a Tylenol PM and set downstairs to watch Star Trek Voyager in my recliner (which I was never going to be allowed to own, finally bought and now never get to sit in as everyone else lays claim to it).
It worked. About half way through the show I must of dozed off to be awakened by a couple of arguing Klingons on DS9 (Deep Space 9 for those of you who are not in the know) and had obviously fell asleep in one show and woke up in the middle of another. Whatever, DS9 is a good show as well so I left the remote sitting idle, besides I have always enjoyed really listening to Klingon since I read that so language professor somewhere worked on its' actual phonetics to create a "realistic" made up language ... but I am drifting in and out of sleep to the point where the "I am a warrior, I fear not death" slowly transitions into a "been using it for weeks and it is longer, it really works ..." at some point I open my eyes to try to figure out what in the hell Worf, Son of Mog is talking about only to find out I had once again dozed off and woke up in the middle of an Extenze infomercial. LOL!
Oh, my title is a compilation of words from The Klingon Language Institute.
Lillian Hanna Raasch with her mother Katrin
Tuesday morning at 8:15 am, my business partner John Raasch became a proud papa for the first time. Weighing in at "9 pounds something" and with a quoted length of "2 hours" (lol - actuals are: 9lbs and 22 inches). Word has it Lillian has a full head of variously colored hair although they cannot figure out whom she looks more alike.
Everyone at Mindfly has been chomping at the bit for some pictures but John has been slacking ... John, hint ... flickr!
I received an e-card for Christmas/New Years from one of the Aramco ExPats community members with the following introduction text:
We are sending you this e-card in our efforts to support Nobel Prize Winner Al Gore, "Almost President of the United States", and attempting to keep our carbon footprint down. NOT, just an excuse for not standing in line at the post office to mail these out.
