How do you say 'deja vu' in Korean?

I find myself in Hartsfield-Atlanta waiting for a Delta flight that is suddenly a Korean Air flight too.
it made sense last time (flight to Seoul) but I'm more surprised this time (headed to Louisville)

There is no fanfare today, which is fine, but I'd like to get another gift bag...

I'm Amazed

Slept only 4 of the last 40 hours
Showered awhile ago
Last completely clean change of clothes came with the last shower
Splitting headache for the last 12 hours
Last meal that I truly tasted was 72 hours ago

And I couldn't be happier than I am holding (I now, more fully comprehend this term) this little bundle of joy

A New Era?!

School starts this morning. I know that because the calendar tells me so, because I'm up at 5:00 AM and because the radio told us to look out for school buses. This year has a definite difference: with Baby Boy due this week, I have barely noticed the dreaded "end of vacation" as I'm all wrapped up in "whoa, something big (or little) and new".

10 people in the shower?! It must be a party

Tonight, Lisa's book club threw us a baby shower. (IMPORTANT: Thanks to Jessica for all the planning and beautiful scene and to Jeremy for the location and the amazing food!).

I've been to one or two baby showers (I think two) and have certainly seen more on TV or in the movies and heard about the important as a rite of passage event - tonight was nearly unrecognizable to those familiar with the clichés - drinks, a gourmet meal, and a cake that could have come from a reality show.

Again, important thanks to Jessica and Jeremy for making it happen :) I hope someone sends me all the photos (my fancy new camera is great in every situation but low-light.

Transformation

Ahoy loyal readers!

So the typical summer travel log isn't gonna happen this year. For this summer only, let's call this a "nesting" blog.

Hopefully I can keep this rolling.

It's all over.

We returned home safely almost exactly a week ago and we've been vegging out as best as possible -neither of us has finished unpacking.

Today is the last day of my summer vacation - a tragic day understood by my fellow teachers and a completely unsympathetic whine to the rest of the world. I am currently posting the photos and a few videos (one with sound overdub) from our recent trip. They appear in the new Picasa gallery on the right side of the blog or you can click the link.

Budapest

We have been here for a few days now - what a bustling and beautiful place. This is likely the hottest tourist spot we've visited on this trip (rivaled only by Munich). There are lots of crowds and buses - and with good reason - the city is filled with beautiful buildings, rich history and great food!

Many of the great buildings are complemented by the great views one can get of them - views of Pest from the heights of Buda and views of Buda lit up at night from the riverbank in Pest.
