Friday June 5th

Rowan started clapping last night. It was pretty cool. We all got into it in the kitchen with Butsu and Muki not exactly sure what was going on! She and I went to Sam's Club after work this week. She was very helpful, that's her in the cart at checkout. We also celebrated Poppa Sheridan's 68th birthday on Wednesday. Rowan insisted we continue getting Poppa his Sirius radio coverage.

Big iPhone news coming next week. Rumor is they will unveil the new iPhone on Monday afternoon. Read stories that it's to be called iPhone Video, since there'll be some upgrades in video capability, among other things. Brooke and I are looking forward to the free software upgrade that will come next week for older iPhones. The new phone itself will be released sometime in July. If you're looking to move into an iPhone, which I highly recommend, they're supposed to introduce new pricing structures for the phones themselves.

No movie again this week! We were hitting them pretty consistently for a while and will again now that some good ones are coming out. I think we'll see The Hangover (IMDb) next week and sometime soon Up (IMDb). Both are getting great reviews with The Hangover at 78% and Up at 98% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The new Land of the Lost (IMDb)? Not so much. Brooke doesn't know it yet, but we'll see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (IMDb) on Thursday June 25th. Let me know if you're going to join us.
