Today is another day in Maryland. We went out exploring today and found our self at Joe's Crab Shack. I can't believe how many locations they have all over the world. The food was pretty good. We started off with the Crab Dip for an appy and I ordered the crab stuffed shrimp.
After that we walked around and ended up going into a Target for something. I noticed right away they had an escalator in the store. This was not just any normal escalator though. This would take you up to the second floor along with your CART!! Yeah that's right I said your cart. In the middle of the up/down sides was an up/down lane for carts as well. It is all open so you can watch your purse or whatever you have in there and you reach the top at the same time. It was the coolest thing I have seen in a while.
Again I will reiterate what I said yesterday.....I need a camera phone. I might even just drive back there before we leave so I can take a picture with my digital camera.

"Mary"land Part Two04/15/2008 21:47 #44021
"Mary"landToday my wife (Mary) and I drove down to Maryland for a college fair. She works for Buffalo State as an Admissions Counselor. We decided to make a week of it and go to DC and Philly to see some of our relatives. So far we got down here alright but I have realized two things. One I need a camera phone and the Verizon Curve can not come fast enough. Two I am not a big fan of MD so far. I have been her a few times but not to stay for 2 nights. Just seems to go go go for me. Maybe it's because we drove 7 hours down and I just wanted to get out of car. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better.

Guinness Book of what???Tonight I had a cup of coffee at 8PM which is a big mistake. I usually only have it in the morning but tonight I just felt like a cup so I had one. I ended up going to the Guinness Book of World Records site just to look up something. I used to be a big fan of this book as a kid and usually got it every year for Christmas. There is a little intro and then something caught my eye. That's right folks....Gamers Edition!!!
Most of them seem a little lame but I am sure there are more in the book then on the site. Why would you buy the book if that were not the case. Maybe we can come up with something for (e:jon) to win.

I feel old and devious. Thanks Fing. =P
Nevermind, those girls use the word "like" as punctuation when speaking. I hate that.

Hmm...
I might be a top runner in highest percentage time wasted in front of a computer. Or maybe person who attended most LAN Parties in his 30s. Also, I think I should get double points for frag'n anyone 1/2 my age. Or maybe I'd win the most times anyone has said "just 5 more minutes" to their spouce.

Ultrasound time...Last week my wife and I had our first ultrasound. It was so amazing to watch this little baby move all over on the screen. I could have sat there all day and watched it. I was almost hypnotized. Things are starting to feel more real and that is not a bad thing. It is great to think the someone will soon be depending on me to help them grow and shape their life.
The ultrasound tech was trying to get some measurements and the baby was being difficult (her genes) but after a short break it was more cooperative (my genes).
The facial features are still forming but you can make out the head and body.

There is a place in Williamsville that will do the 3d ultrasound but you need to have a reason for concern to have it covered by insurance. The doctor is Laurel White. I am like 99% positive she does these...

Ultrasounds are both exciting and confusing. It's great seeing the little one move, but trying to make out what's what's is a sorta difficult. And half the time, the thing either looks really evil or looks like an alien. Plus, if you want to know what you've got (boy or girl) the kid can be really obstinate and cross his/her little legs. Maybe some people like surprises, but for me not knowing the sex of the baby drove me nuts (we eventually found out he's a boy. We think).
I wish I could get a 3-d ultra-sound, but from what I understand the nearest place to do that is somewhere in Ohio; in another 3 weeks, it won't matter anyways because the little guy will be out and about.

How exciting! I remember when Chrissy was pregnant with Delaney I used to google "pregnancy X weeks" each week to see how the baby was supposed to be coming along.
Enjoy the ride!

Sick todayI am out sick today. I usually don't take a lot of sick days but today is the 4th day in a row I have had a sore throat and am starting to cough. I hate feeling like you are a walking zombie. Im also trying to not take anything because I don't like medicine.
That's all...
That's all...

Get better. Seems like everyone's been really getting hammered with some illness. I even feel myself getting a little choppy in the throat.

Yeah, the first place I ever saw cart-escalators was in a big Walmart-like store in Taiwan.
I feel like I live in a big city now, because we've got a grocery store here (downtown Ft. Lauderdale) that has one of 'em.
ikea has them too. cool.
When (e:terry) and I lived in Germany, the Walmart in our little German town had those escalators.
The Target in a Philadelphia suburb was two stories and had the same feature. I used to grab a cart even though I didn't need it just to go up and down the escalator with it... over...and over...and over...
Ha thanks for pointing that out. I have been thinking more about cutting down on carbs. Maybe it's trying to take of my mind.
bahahahaha
I think I like joes carb shack better than joe's crab shack.
Is that the same place that has "free crabs tomorrow"?
there was one in new orleans. yummy.
