It’s a Kirsch!
My little older brother Jacobo and his wife Joana had a healthy baby boy this morning. Why does he look so pissed off? Is it because he hasn’t met his favorite uncle yet? No. He still doesn’t know what he’s been missing all his life. The reason he’s so angry is that people have been calling him names, except for his name, because he doesn’t have one.
So Jaco and Joana asked me to come up with something.
I’m all about delegating, so I delegate to you, dear extensive readership, to help them pick a name. If your help is worthy, I promise an All-extreme-closeup Photo Gallery Exclusive Extravaganza of next week’s bris. So, pick your favorite from the list below. As an experiment, you are even allowed to add new options to the poll (yeah… that just can’t go wrong). Happy naming!

Update: His name is Bernardo.
U2 360°
On Wednesday, a few friends and I went to see U2 at the Reliant Stadium in Houston. In order to be allowed to buy tickets early to what I thought would be a quick sellout, I became a member of the U2 Fan Club ($!). The concert didn’t sell out, but the General Admission tickets did, so the plan paid off.
More after the break…

What I did instead of going to ACL
In summary:
- Go out in Cancún.
- Take boat ride to Isla Mujeres.
- Visit one of seven World Wonders Chichen Itzá.
- Party non-stop for 13 hours wearing a guayabera at the wedding.
- Spend a nice afternoon in Puerto Progreso.
- Take a tour of downtown Mérida.

Guess who
Here’s a small challenge for our readers:
Look deep into the eyes of the little child in the photo and try to guess who it is. I will post the answer in a few days. Those of you that already know – not because they guessed, but because they saw the source of the photo – please refrain from ruining it for everyone.
The winner will receive an imaginary check for $99.
The Forty Days
Buddy and Sno Cone Club Vice President of Deliciousness David Becker is starting work in 40 (well, now 37) days. He decided to do something outlandish every day and blog about it.
The Rules: Every day for forty days, I must do something new, interesting, or unique, something completely absurd, or something I’ve always wanted to do but never had the time, motivation, or cojones to do.
You can follow it at http://thefortydays.com/. In the meantime I’ve added it to my Google Reader and to this blog’s blogroll (see the column to the right). Should be fun to watch. Maybe I’ll be in one of those posts one of these days.
