Put a monkey and a ram on a remote island, combined with 3+ years of marriage bliss, and nine months later you get an ox.
So the newest addition to the V-Team in slated to be an Ox, according to the 2008 Chinese zodiac calendar. "People born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little, and inspire confidence in others. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster, and Rat people." If anyone has any experience reining in an ox, please pass it on. This baby obviously has some strong-willed German genes.
So what else have I been up to now that the Olympics are over...
1. Not watching one of the greatest soccer games of all time (USA v. Brasil, Women's Gold Medal match) after my bedtime.
2. Actually opening up the P.E. preparation manual to formulate a study plan to take the exam in April 2009.
3. Playing "uno" with some other gentlemen from around the island. Reminded me of playing poker, I mean uno, with the Fab Five at Damon's Mom's house when we were all at least or almost 21. Except now we don't have a pool to jump into, and we played at a friend's house that is only 10 minutes from us. As you can see, my luck changed from the first time I played (I started out with the two rolls on the left).
4. Getting ready to spend Uncle Sam's money that comes our way at the end of the fiscal year to build, replace, and repair facitlities. Ask any government contracting officer, the end of the FY is crazy all the way up until 11:59pm on 31 September.
Please check back as we continue to pray for our Twins and Cubbies to make the playoffs. I think being at the top of the AL Central makes the Twins feel awkward, which is fine with me. As long as they don't wait for the last day of the season to get back on top like they did in 2006. Looks as though the AL wildcard will not be in the AL Central this year, so I kindly request that the Twins go ahead and get comfortable leading the division for the rest of the year.

That's gonna be one interesting baby. Let's hope it's all wrong and (s)he ends up like you guys :) Wait....do we want more of you guys :) OF COURSE!
And I'm putting in my prediction now - boy! Why, because Michelle's pregnancy thus far rivals mine with Tyler.
Congrats on the new monkey news!
Google says that Matt is an Ox. He tends to be pretty laid back. On the flip side though, he's a republican... figure that one out.
I could handle a baby with Matt's personality.
Hmmm....how accurate is this system. I will go and check mine out. Regardless, I am pretty sure Vbaby will be totally a rockin' dude or dudette.
