Things I've been thinking about

1. When positioned just right, Alex looks exactly like Matt Damon in the rear view mirror in my car.



2. I don't know if it's just because I'm used to Alex Skinny-Bones, but whenever I'm out and about I see these gigantic chubby babys.  Their ankle fat flowing over their socks, hands almost hidden under rolls of arm fat.  Is this normal?  Have babies always been this chubby?  Some of them look like they're about to explode.



3. Every morning for several weeks there has been a songbird outside our bedroom window waking us up at 6AM with it's horrible awful screeching.  I've never heard a bird sound like that before.  It was terrible.  Well, the other night, we were woken up at 3:00 am by that same bird making an even more annoying noise.  Almost like a squawking.  We haven't heard it since.  We're thinking either it finally got laid and flew away, or a cat ate it.
