It was unseasonably warm on Saturday, so we trekked off to the Chattahoochee Nature Center to see what there was to explore. Sam enjoyed the wandering Canadian Geese most of all, followed by the owls. Check out the photo gallery here.

GNN: Grouch News Network
Yes, that’s our very own Anderson Cooper reporting live from Oscar’s trashcan, sporting a mike with a ‘GNN’ moniker on it as he taped a segment for an upcoming episode of Sesame Street. I hope Sam doesn’t get confused and mistake our gray-haired reporter/anchor with his old buddy Oscar. TVNewser reports this episode was taped this week but doesn’t air until next September. But the photo above is pretty priceless.
Dada Nene
Sam has been calling Joey “Da da” for quite some time now, but would just smile when asked my name. He is quite capable of saying ma ma ma, but has never put two and two together. But why follow the crowd when you can create your own language. As of this past week, I am officially “Ne Ne” (pronounced nay nay). Perhaps a derivation of Amy? We all had a big smile when he saw us hugging, pointed and said Da da Ne ne. Precious.
The MacBookPro Has Landed
That’s the good news. And, I might add, the little wonder arrived at 10:09am today, despite Fedex estimating delivery by Monday at 10:30am. So total turnaround time was 10 business days since I ordered on the day the new Core 2 Duo versions came out, including custom build options. Now on to the bad news…
The machine has an obvious screen defect (as seen at left). I went with the glossy version, and approximately 100 pixels from the right side of the screen is a band roughly 100 pixels wide which is significantly washed out compared to the rest of the screen. It runs from above the top menu bar to the bottom of the display.
Guess I’ll be visiting my friends at the Apple store at Lenox tomorrow. Click here for a gallery of the ritualistic unpacking of the new machine.
