Added a link to an RSS feed in the side bar. It's the first link at the top. If you don't know what to do with it, don't worry about it. If you do, no explanation is necessary.

I must say that I like the RSS feeds only when I know I am going to be away from the internet for a while and/or if I haven't read my favorite blogs in a while. For instance, I have a Pocket PC that I can sync my RSS feed Outlook folder to. That way I can catch up on several days of posts at once.

I love technology.

Today I turn 40.

Still seems weird. Not freaked out about being 40 so much. I don't feel that old. Feel more like I am 30 or 32, give or take...

What freaks me out is where did the last 20 years go?

I must say I am nowhere near where I thought I would be 20 years ago. Figured I would have made at least one fortune by now and be extremely wealthy and semi-retired. I did get the wife and family I thought I would have though. And pretty much when. Though I never thought the third one would come this late. :) Certainly never expected to be Catholic. Just wasn't on the radar screen.

Ah well. Time to start over with the dreams and goals. Just because I didn't ever get where I though I would, doesn't mean I can't shoot for something else. Who knows, maybe in another 20 years, I WILL be fabulously wealthy and semi-retired.

Actually found this out not long after the last post, but it's been busy, what with hand therapy, kids being out of school, etc. etc....

We are having a BOY!!!!!!

Woooooooo-Hoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that I wouldn't love another girl at all. Absolutely I would. But I am like every guy out there. We want a boy. A buddy. Someone who we can use to justify the purchase of war toys with. Luckily my girls are already into comic books so I was covered there. But now a whole different world is opened up. :)

So far the little guy is extremely active according to Mrs. Fric. He's constantly on the move. I could feel his movements through Mom's belly some time ago. Way earlier than the girls.

We are all excited about it too. The girls are happy to have a brother on the way.

Names are still an issue. At one time I wanted to name a boy after me... William Timothy. Since becoming Catholic, that doesn't seem so important anymore. Not sure why, but I think my ego doesn't need to be stroked that way anymore. Mrs. Fric still likes William though with Will for short. We are thinking William David to include her father. She also likes Patrick, Elijah and others. Not sure myself. She's way more into it than I am right now. We've got time, right? :)

Please pray for a healthy baby and a safe delivery. Thanks!

And many more to the greatest nation on God's green earth!
