Well, my exhaustive "coverage" of American Idol begins tomorrow, when the fifth season kicks-off with a two-hour audition show.  Before that however, I have a few photos to post from recent days.

We received a package from Japan today.  In the package, there was a cell-phone strap for me.  I put it on my phone.  The writing on the strap says "Buyuzan".  Buyuzan is a professional sumo wrestler who hails from my wife's home town.  My father-in-law is close to some of Buyuzan's boosters, so he has access to some cool memorabelia from time-to-time. 

My older son is quite proud of himself, posing with a car that he "made" himself.

Younger son crying...

And at a more lucid moment...
