- Glass does break when banged against other glass
- T-shirt policy is more of a rule than it is a suggestion (who knew?)
- Biker Week is for bikers, not bicyclists (and there is a difference)
- Pirates are terrorists with boats and parrots - but they're fun!
- Further, you can sell ugly crap for good money when you call it a "Pirate ..." whatever, or if you put a pirate picture on it
- "Red tide" is not the same as "crimson tide," an neither one of them is what you think it would be (at least not what I think it would be)
- Tennis racket loses to rock. Scissors and paper not tested
- Acquire is a fun game
- Jellyfish kinda tickle when they're small.
- Breakin' out da rhymes on the beach by yourself at 10am is not cool. No, it is sad, and it's getting worse. Please see a doctor.
- Swimming pools cannot be too big, nor too empty
- Habit finds it's way into your life no matter how relaxed you're trying to be.
- If someone offers you a paper pirate hat with a kid's menu on the inside, you take it. Don't talk about it, just take it.
- Beer is good.
- Fred Munzenmaier can make a touchdown in a UGA game

Back to the beach! And...back to work...
Back from the beach trip, what a great time we had...very relaxing. However, first things first - a few lessons learned in the last week:

Enough is never enough
I should have put out my "UGA is going to win the SEC this year!" post a few weeks ago when it was still relevant. I guess I'm glad I didn't, now that the odds are lower.
It's still early though. I won't be going to another UGA game until GA/FL at the end of next month. The trip and the tailgate are always more fun than the game - at least for UGA fans - and this year doesn't look much better. Florida appears unstoppable, even though they haven't really played anyone yet (Tennessee doesn't count for much in my book since they hardly showed up for that game). But that's a month away and a lot can happen in between.
Speaking of in between, there's a lot going on for me personally in the next month. For starters, Hilary and I are taking a beach trip with Andy and Abby next week!! WOOOOOO!!! Been planning this one since earlier this year. We originally planned to go with them to Hawaii last year, but getting off of work for me didn't happen...too much going on at that point.
Of course, that hasn't really changed around here, but we're going this time anyway.
Gonna be a great time...no big plans or expectations, just hanging out at the beach, eating a lot of good food, hanging out with good friends and hopefully a whole bunch of sleeping, too. REEEEAALLY looking forward to it.
As of October 1st (roughly), TradeWind Productions will be re-organized as TradeWind Productions, LLC. Why? Liability. Operating as a sole proprietor for these last few years has kept me rather exposed. When you operate as yourself (instead of a corporation, LLC or LLP) then all of you personal assets and business assets are intertwined. The primary problem arising from something like that has to do with litigation. If someone sues me because they tripped over a video cable at an event, damages will be limited to the company. As a sole proprietor, my damages would have been limited to everything Hilary and I own...house, cars, savings....everything. So that's the main reasoning there. Also, I'll be able to organize and manage other areas of the business operations more easily, but that's too much detail for one blog post.
The company website overhaul project will also be completed soon as well. I'll post here when that happens so everyone can go check it out and let me know how awesome it is.
Next on the agenda is Oktoberfest! I think the camping trip to Helen is out for this year, what with members of the group being Full-O-Baby and such. However, that does allow for a couple more options on designated driver. Sorry Abby, that's just how it's going to be. Maybe they'll be serving O'Douls.
After that, I've got the aforementioned trip to Sea Island and the GA/FL game in Jacksonville. This might be the last year for this trip, which is too bad since it has been a nice get-together.
Baby Jolly is still growing. I forget what size it's supposed to be right now...we get another ultrasound one of these days, and I'll post the details here. Just like I posted the last one...oops. Maybe next post.
I need a vacation. Here it comes!

Groups, Friends, Applications - BRING IT ON!
This one goes out to the Facebook crowd (because I'm still too retarded to get real with my MySpace profile)...for the rest of the month, I'm accepting all friend requests, all group requests, applications, gifts, whatever.
I don't even know what half of this stuff is all about or who comes up with it all.
So if you sent me an invitation to join/add something in the past and I declined it, try again. There's no saying "no" this time. I'm going all in.

WHOA!!! A baby on the way!! (also see "Oh Baby!")
Well, big news folks. A few of you are already aware, the rest of you are probably shocked out of your minds...we're having a baby! Hilary is about 9 1/2 weeks along now (still not sure on the math, we'll find out for sure once we have the first ultrasound in a few more weeks).
The baby is due the last week of February. So there's a chance we'll have ourselves a leap baby (February 29th is within the range of possible dates for now...depending on the math).
I'm pretty psyched, though really not sure what's all in store just yet. Lots of doctor appointments, fixing up the house and baby room and all that jazz. There's a little bit of hesitance for the two of us right now, thinking about all the stuff to do. For now, though, the main thing is going to be just staying positive and keeping healthy. We're in the last part of that window where the likelihood of a miscarriage or other complication is still high(er), so we're just going day-to-day and hoping for a healthy kiddo.
I just hope the kid likes ska, 'cause otherwise he/she is gonna be quite disappointed.
So yeah...WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Restless Leg Syndrome
Heard this on the news this morning and laughed so loud the dog left the room:
"A new study now shows that restless leg syndrome is found in your genes." - Good Morning America
Okay, I know it's hard to get the joke when it's typed out like that instead of audibly received, but just say it out loud and you'll know what I mean.
Yep, that's where I usually keep my restless legs, right there in my jeans.
I'm a dork.
