Goo Goo Dolls and Elmo November 6, 2008

I used to watch the news or Morning Joe or Sportscenter in the morning, but those days are gone.   Now I watch Sesame Street with my daughter, and I must say, it totally rocks…literally.

Kara and I are now a month away from our due date for the birth of our firstchild, and we couldn’t be more excited.
