Brin posted an amazing blog entry today summarizing our 2008!

Today I reflect on everything I am thankful for in 2008.

• God :: He’s blessed my life with so much. He truly is the giver of all good things!
• Family :: My wife Brin my two little guys Evan and Tanner and yea I’ll throw our dog Uno in there too.
• Extended Family :: I have awesome parents, three great brothers and their families who live nearby. Two of my grandparents passed away this year who lived amazing lives. I’m thankful for the example they’ve given me, they won’t be forgotten.
• Friends :: Surrounded by so many wonderful people here in upstate NY.
• Home :: Blessed with a nice home in a great location.
• Future :: Life is good when you live for God. Knowing that he has it all in control is a comforting thought.
• Job :: I work for an amazing company with an amazing group of people.

Yesterday we made our way up to Gore Mountain to their fall festival to take in some of the beautiful foliage here in upstate NY!

So last night we were all eating corn on the cob using the standard two pronged corn holders (or “handles” as my son calls them) when the unexpected happened. I must have inserted the holder incorrectly and was exerting too much pressure because it sprung from it’s position in the end of the cobb and into the flesh of my cheek! All I can say is i’m glad it wasn’t my eye! After-the-fact Brin and I couldn’t stop laughing… What are the chances?

Corn Handles Looking All Innocent

When Corn Handles Go Bad

Yea, so I decided to clean out my wallet this morning and had this much “trash” concealed within it’s dark murky caverns. The oldest piece dated back circa October 2006 (USPS registered mail reciept).

What’s in your wallet?

I’ve decided to update my domain name from dan.thebyronsplace.com to simply danbyron.com. I just wanted to simplify the domain and drop the subdomain. Those who have subscribed to this blog via rss shouldn’t have to change anything seeing as I’m using a feedburner url.
