Memories October 2009 - Road Trip!

So about 3 months into Avery's existence, she's settled in pretty good to her new life, as has Kubie. We are still doing 1 week visitations with Jordan (which would continue up until he started Kindergarten. It was a lot of travelling to and from Cache Creek 2 days a month but you do what you gotta do... Jaime is on maternity leave from Axis Family Resources (where we met) and I'm working at a group home for teen boys 72 hours a week (3 days/nights). We are also living on Sanderson Road in PG.

The problem with becoming parents is that we were no longer able to just pack up and leave whenever a decent concert came to Vancouver - however, we were able to arrange to go see U2, which was a first for Jaime, 2nd time for me. It was held in BC Place and we were able to have friends of mine babysit Avery for the evening as we went and basically joined a giant sing-a-long of U2's greatest hits.

I remember Bill Gates was also supposedly in attendance as Bono sang happy birthday to him - I can't imagine how much that would have cost - and thought it also ironic as the concert was sponsored by Blackberry (remember them?) and he's serenading the creator of Apple. Joke! Just seeing how many are paying attention...

Anyways, the next day Jaime and Avery took the ferry over to Vancouver Island to visit her dad and Kathy. I drove back to PG to go to work and picked them up a couple days later - Avery's first ferry and airplane ride!

2009 Getting old facts; Pittsburgh won both the Superbowl and the Stanley Cup, Chris Brown beat up Rihanna, Avatar and the Hangover were must-sees at the movies, Tiger Woods peaked career and morally-wise as he was busted for stepping out on his woman. Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett also stepped out for good which reminds me of this joke:

(spoiler, don't read if you are an MJ fan)

Farrah Fawcett dies one morning and is met by God at the Gates of Heaven. He says to her - "Farrah you are an amazing woman and I would love to grant you one wish."
She thinks about it and says "I'd like the world to be safe for children everywhere."
God says "Will do."
and then Michael Jackson died later that afternoon.
