Excited about the new season of tv

I'm excited about the new season of television because of 2 shows that I have become attached to: Battlestar Galactica and Arrested Development. These shows represent new ways of filming in televsion, and are ground breaking in their committment to remain true to their original vision.
Battlestar is, as you can imagine, set in space. The story is about the last remaining numbers of the human race trying to find the mythical promised land called "earth" while trying to avoid contact with their robot hunters: the cylons. The show's special effects are really authentic. When a ship is flying thru space, and needs to make turns etc, you hear the sounds of jet nozzles shooting gas out to effect a change of direction. It's very true to real life like when you see footage of the space shuttle or space station making positional adjustments. Also, they use bullets instead of "laser" guns. Even in the space ships, you hear the sound of rounds going off instead of some dreamed up weapons. It makes for some riveting televsion.
Arrested Development is just plain funny. The characters are outrageous, and keep Kendra and I laughing constantly. We have the dvd set for the first season. Soon we'll get the second season's dvd set. We're anxiously awaiting the upcoming season.

Anyhow, I thought I'd share some of these moments leading up to your birth. I'm expecting that you will arrive before the due date of 8/22. Kendra is continuing to get bigger and bigger. One thing is certain, you won't be under weight.

I love you bud. See you soon! ~Dad
