This weekend I decided to return to the past via my phone number. You see, right before Katrina Mandy and I decided to loan the brother in law, Adam, my cell phone. due to the storm I did not get back the phone until very recently. We decided to let him keep it indefinitely and added a third line to the plan for me with a Florida number. The plan was never to keep that number indefinitely, but only until we settled somewhere and then it would change area codes (I have been paying a florida and louisiana cell phone tax for over two years now). Well, since Adam got a new job with a work cell phone he didn’t need our extra line anymore. Since that was back in November and he passed out his new number to all who needed it and since its now March, I figured I could take back the line and return to my pre-Katrina number.Yes that’s right, my cell phone number is changing. If you need to call Mike, call his old cell phone number (the one from way back in the day) or Adam’s old number (the new orleans area code one). If you don’t know what that number is either email Mike at any of his addresses or use the contact form on this page to ping me for my new old number.Yay, new old numbers.

Kids on myspace announce a boycott of Clearview mall this weekend and I jump for joy. The mall has reached the point of crowded high school gym with screaming abandoned children who don’t spend money and get in the way and keep the public out of the mall on weekends.
I miss going to the movies with my wife, please stay out of the mall.
HanDBase is made by the company that Mandy’s brother David works for. If you’ve called their tech support hotline or developed for HanDBase, it’s likely you talked to David once or twice since he’s on that line all the time. If you have a palm os or windows mobile device be sure to check out HanDBase and read the full review along with CEO interview at TreoCentral.
Yesterday the Columbia Journalism Review announced that the LA Times and the Times Picayune are sharing the 2007 Oakes Award for Environmental Journalism. My father was one of the three reporters who wrote stories as part of the Last Chance coastal erosion series that won the award. Congrats to all involved. And congrats to dad on the award (now time for pulitzer number four!).
yesterday was Annabel’s baby naming. Her new hebrew name is Nessa which means miracle. Her name is a reference to the miracle of having a child and the holiday that was close to yesterday, Hanukkah.
Today she turned two months old. Everyday she does something new and amazing and yet it seems like she has always been with us. I can’t wait to what the future will bring.
Speaking of amazing, yesterday was also the sixth anniversary of my first date with Mandy. In six short years we have managed to fall in love become a family and bring a new life into the world…
Wow, can’t wait to seem what’s next.
Mandy and I added another to our family back on October 17, 2007. She’s beautiful and perfect (of course). If you’re on Flickr look for me (schleifnet) and make me a contact (if you know me)… If I know you I’ll make you a friend so you can see the pics… If you aren’t on Flickr, use the contact form to the right to email me to ask for a link to the private gallery (I can give them out to anyone, its just easier if you’re a flickr friend than not)…
