Gabe and I at the Flames Game
Gabe and I had a great time at the Flames game tonight against St. Lois. We didn't stay for the whole game because it was a late start and a school night, but the seats were killer -- right behind the bench.
Our kids are spoiled for games! When they're not in a box they're down by the ice.
Glad to have a boys night with my son.

Daemon/Freedom
Tron Legacy
Awesome movie and a faithful sequel to Tron. Saw this opening weekend with Gabe who loved it too. Amazing special effects in a completely different way than most movies -- it wasn't supposed to be realistic. Thoughtful storyline that doesn't get in the way. Lots of inside jokes and references to the original. Well worth seeing!

Sweet
Want to know what the definition of sweet is? Maya went to the dentist today, got a needle, and got a filling for 45 minutes. They gave her two toys for being so good: a big one and and a small one. The small one she picked for herself (a small bear) and the big one she picked not for herself, but for her little brother Zach. How sweet is that?

William Gibson's Zero History
Hull Zero Three
This is a very fun short novel from Greg Bear, the author of Eon and Forge of God -- two books that I love.
Hull Zero Three isn't without it's flaws. It's confusing, strange, the first third is very fast paced while the last two thirds aren't... but it's a lot of fun and very creative. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend for a quick read.
