Anna is about 20 weeks into pregnancy (which is just at half way) and we had an ultrasound session earlier this month.
Here are the latest pics...
You knew that Baby Harrelson has big feet. Here is confirmation:
And here, Baby Harrelson is sucking on his/her thumb (yay, it's not a mutant and has 10 fingers and toes!):
Here's a nice profile of Baby Harrelson (I think it has my nose ...

On Tuesday, I decided to try a nifty trick and use our exercise ball (basically a large blow up ball about 3 feet in diameter) for my desk chair. The benefits are that you are constantly forced to sit upright and it's good exercise for your abs, etc.
So, it was a little flat and I decided to blow it up.

Working and studying in a college environment everyday, I can't tell you how profoundly shocked and sad I am at today's shootings at Virginia Tech.
Colleges and universities, of all places, should be places where young and old people alike can study, learn, walk, live and inquire without feeling the least bit threatened.

I've got a new universal phone number for my mobile, office and Skype numbers:
828.414.3578
If you ring that number, you'll get a hold of me. So, please change my number in your address book.
BTW, this is through a great new service called GrandCentral which allows you to aggregate all of your numbers so that they all connect through a common number. It really is stupid to have a ...
