New England, USA. That used to be the location on my profile, before "virgo supercluster" and others. I liked the song. I watched it on youtube though. I could hardly believe that was true, but every source that I checked said it was all true. Larry was so awesome, I wish there had been a happier ending to his story. Well, at least he survived his flight. I think that there should be a Larry Walters memorial flying lawnchair balloon event. I guess flying in a hot air balloon would be a somewhat tamer version of this. I hear there is a kinda fun tradition of bringing a bottle of champagne along, and whoever's property you land on you share the champagne with them.
thanks everyone for the congratulations. the shock is still wearing off - we've known for 6 days. ...and now i have about 8 months of non-Dad-ness left in my life! exiting and scary and happy :2thumbsup: yeah that story about him is pretty unreal. Pinback is an awesome band. i think i've heard of other people attempting the lawnchair thing, but i can't recall specifics.
Congrats! Yay...that's awesome. Is it your first? How far along is she? I just had my first ultrasound on Monday 3/31 and ended up finding out... well, I'll make a thread about this in a min or two but I'm further along than I thought by almost 3 wks-I am 15 weeks along tomorrow and due Sept. 24.
