Restless.

Spring is beginning.  Around this time of year, I am confronted with the same wanderlust.  I know instinctively that this is the time of year when everything is born anew.  Everything is reset to zero. And I wanna go see it.  I wanna go do it. I saw shows on the Travel Channel today about Alaska; I wanted to go there, see the whales breaching, hear the glaciers calving, see the local wildlife, then eat them for lunch. I've been dreaming Japan again.  I dreamed that Kelly and I were living in Japan and we went to Chanpon for lunch, followed by hanami at Genkyu-en (the garden outside of Hikone Castle). I updated my Flickr account recently, and now I want to start photoblogging, knowing full well that it won't last. The only thing that I know I will be keeping up is going to the gym, since we pay $90 a month for a membership.  Kelly is overworked and exhausted, and I don't know what to do for her other than help her.  However, I am increasingly apathetic when it comes to vaccuming and dishes.  I know I have to do them, but the motivation is lacking.  I would much rather go outside and play, even if it isn't as warm as the beautiful skies tell me it should be. Argh.  Stupid spring, when young men's thought turn to travel...

A New Gibb!

It's a picture of me and my little nephew!

I am the proud uncle of Alexander George Gibb, born yesterday (March 27, 2007) at 1:22pm.  He is 20 inches long and weighs 7lbs 4oz.

Kelly and I went to visit him (as well as Susie and Jason) in the hospital, and he is absolutely adorable. He only cried a little bit, and he is so tiny... Literally four or five hours old, I got to see him.

Took the kid long enough to arrive!

I have my pics from the day uploaded in a set on Flickr: Newborn Baby Gibb

A Beautiful Day

Today, the temperature has broken records.  It is March 26th, and it reached 80 degrees.  I was very pleased with this.  I never really realized how much the good weather affects my attitude.  I worked this morning, training a girl at Famous Dave's.  I opened the restaurant at 10, and was there until 3.  Upon walking out the doors, the sun washed over me, I was filled with the warmth of the day and the promise of the season, and I was happy.  In that one instant, I was happy with the universe. I always get this way at the beginning of spring; it really is the rebirth of the year. Now, if Susie would only have the baby, it would get even better!  She's ready to pop!
