And so it begins. The teasers for the Super Bowl ads. This one already has close to 2 million hits today alone.

A belated post

My mom's birthday was yesterday. It's been a bit of a crazy week but we celebrated a few different times in between all the chaos and sad news.

Karla's mom passed away Tuesday evening. We went to the visitation at the funeral home yesterday afternoon in Albert County. Visiting a funeral home on your mother's birthday is not ideal but it sure makes you appreciate all that you have. I know Karla appreciated having us there.

One breath

She passed away this evening, a lot faster than expected. So sad. My best advice: don't live your life full of regrets. Forgive and forget. Life is too short and can be over in an instant.

I am reminded tonight of the ending of the movie "One Week". Something we should all think about.

Time passes too quickly

At this very moment a good friend is sitting by her mother's side watching, waiting, unable to communicate with her. There is not much time left for her. Nothing is certain. All we have is now. There is no guarantee of tomorrow.

Milestone

This is a week to be marked by a very special milestone.

Alcatraz

JJ Abrams has a new show called Alcatraz coming to Fox on Jan 16h. Super excited. Here's the trailer.

Join a Hangout!

Tell me this puts a smile on your face today. Turn it out loud! And if you haven't seen the Muppets yet check it out in theatres now. Fantastic.

Advice

I watched this video for the first time the other night. It is quite powerful. Ric Elias was on US Airways Flight 1549 now called "Miracle on the Hudson." I thought about this flight a lot when we visited NYC for the first time in the summer of 2010. Our hotel was situated right on the Hudson. As this year comes to an end I am asking that you take a few minutes and watch this. Everyone can learn something from this.
