I'm an uncle

Jeff and Jordana finally had a baby. Well, actually they had twins. A boy and a girl. Jonah Eli and Ariel Lily (at least that's the way I think they're spelled). We went down to see them December 13 and they are adorable. Mom and the babies are doing fine. This picture is when they are less than a week old.

World's Worst Banker?

Sandy Weill, Chuck Prince, and Vikram Pandit of Citigroup nominated for World's Worst Banker!

In a Newsweek article:

In an interview Monday, Nobel laureate Paul Krugman nominated the gang that ran Citigroup into the ground. But Citi was so big it took three CEOs—Sandy Weill, Chuck Prince, and Vikram Pandit—to bring it to the brink of disaster.

Don't worry, they were in very good company!

ShamWow!

ShamWow!
I decided to order the ShamWow because I use a lot of paper towels and hand towels in the kitchen wiping up water spills around the sink. I ordered from the website after seeing it on a TV infomercial. I read a few reviews online before ordering and most had good things to say. It seems the main "bad" issue is that it doesn't fully dry surfaces.

One issue I have is that shipping and handling is $7.95. I think this is a bit of a rip-off, but at least I don't have to pay sales tax. "Handling" should be built into the price, and shipping shouldn't be more than a couple bucks.
