While I enjoy the features of WordPress, sometimes I think about coming back to Blogger. Does anyone out there have an opinion on that?
The End
Well, my friends, it's time to close up shop. Our time together here at Blogger is drawing to a close.
...but that's only because I'm moving to a brand-new, shiny, full-fledged website! Sorry if you thought last week's post was referring to anything personal like having another baby or moving or something like that. Rumors of anything interesting happening to me are greatly exaggerated.
Anyway, the new site is joelhiller.net. Here's a direct link to the blog. Right now I've just got basic functionality going, but it has imported all my posts and your insightful comments (and the rest; let's face it, the insight filter is curiously lacking). I'll be adding a lot more content in the near future, particularly related to my professional experience. Let me know of anything that doesn't work. Right now it might be a pain to leave comments; I'll probably change that in the near future.
See you there (or else)!
Thirty Thoughts
1. Is that more hair in the shower drain every morning?
2. What's the big deal? It's just a number with a zero at the end. Why should we consider that significant?
3. Am I still allowed to wear shorts?
4. I need to buy a house within the next five years or we won't have it paid off by retirement age. Then again, my generation won't be able to retire until age 80, so I shouldn't worry.
5. I really should be eating more green, leafy vegetables. If I leave potatoes in the fridge long enough, will that count?
6. Going back to school is getting less and less likely. Then again, sending kids to school will be enough trauma.
7. At least I no longer look like I'm 12, which I did until I was about 23.
8. I will never wear my cell phone on my belt.
9. For some reason, there's a big difference between having a kid and having kids.
10. You kids get off the lawn!
11. I wonder when my memory will start to go.
12. Inside of me beats the heart of an 18-year-old. At least, the doctors claim he was 18 when he had the skateboarding accident...
13. As the years go on, should I feel increasingly ashamed for watching cartoons?
14. I don't feel the urge to buy a Mazda Miata.
15. Cold cereal is still awesome for any meal.
16. At least I can still fit into the suit I bought in high school.
17. It's hard staying up past 11.
18. This actually is pretty much how I pictured my life would be... except we drove around in a van solving mysteries.
19. I'm becoming disturbingly comfortable in slacks and a button-up shirt, and wearing t-shirts less.
20. So far I have no intention of getting a minivan. Although they are an efficient way to get the kids around... No! I must resist!
21. I still put olives on my fingers.
22. Sadly, I have come to recognize the wisdom of my parents, and I even ask their advice on occasion.
23. Let's see, what historical events was I alive for? The fall of the Berlin Wall, September 11, and Al Gore being made first emperor of the moon.
24. Fauxhawks? Has it really come to this?
25. Back in my day, we didn't have fancy shoes with wheels that popped out of them.
26. Video games may be more complex now, but the NES ruled. Your girlfriend got kidnapped; what more storyline do you need? Go bust some heads!
27. Whatever happened to Square One? I loved that show.
28. I wonder when my memory will start to go.
29. What's this "information superhighway" I keep hearing about?
30. I'm still younger than most of the people who will read this.

I have already forgotten much of what Sam was like as a baby, but I really think Allison has a much louder digestive system. Seriously, I can hear when she does her thing several rooms away. It's actually rather impressive.
And if you're wondering about the title of the post, it's because I plan to show this to her friends and dates when she's a teenager.
Big Changes
Coming soon: Awesomely exciting happenings. Stay tuned.
Well, rather than sit staring at this page for days, I guess you could just check back periodically. Or get smart and subscribe to the feed. Whatever.

When we were in southern Utah last weekend, I took Sam down to Toquerville park. Quite unexpected for that part of the state, they have a nice little wetland area going on there. Sam and I spent a while chasing lizards and catching frogs and tadpoles.
I've almost lost my tail!
