Cry Myself to Sleep

I wrote this song shortly after watching the film, Notting Hill, with Julia Roberts. At the same time, I was seeing a woman in a relationship that I knew damn well would never work out. She was living with a different guy and I knew that she would never leave him. Then I watched Notting Hill. That’s the message behind this song. You want so much your life to be like the movies, but it never is.

Musically speaking, it is one of my more mature songs. The chord progression is unique, and not a knock off from a popular strong. Plus the words still hit home today. Then my friend, Tom Garber, put together the score in a very pleasant way.

3 Months of Teddy

After 3 months of staying at our house in Myrtle Beach, I am happy to report that Teddy has not yet worn out his welcome. Solange has taken tons of photos of Teddy, and I tried to sort out the best of the best. I’ve also tried to add some new effects using LyteBox to make a more entertaining slide show.

  1. Rob,

    Great pictures, this is really cool how you got this set-up. You are light years ahead of me on using the web world. I don’t even have a web page.

    Teddy looks great.

    Your buddy for now and beyond!!
    Steve

Theodore Chen Memorial

I’ve been working on a rather special place on my web site for a special person. I am using a feature called WordPress pages, which unlike a blog is not updated. If you look at the upper navigation bar, you will see a special place to memorialize the life of my grandfather.

The collection was made by scanning numerous photos that I found in a shoe box after my grandfather passed away. In addition, I also found a floppy disk which had some interesting facts about his life.
A truly remarkable man.

Rio de Janeiro Fly-by

When I made my video of our helicopter ride to the top of Corcovado, Solange took a bunch of photos. I combined these awesome photos with a new technology that I found on the web called Lytebox. It enables me to make a nice slide show with written comments on each picture. Making this slide show makes me remember all of the things that I love about Rio de Janeiro.

My Baby is a Giant

This is both Solange and my first child, so we have really no expectations for our kid. I think that is a good thing. Solange brought Teddy to the doctor for cradle cap, and the doctor also exclaimed that Teddy looked big for his age. This does not make sense since Solange is petite, and no one in my family is above average in size. I found a chart on the internet, and Teddy is OFF the charts!

Check out this chart, that plots his growth since birth versus the percentiles. He is over the 99th percentile. We have not been tracking height as much but Teddy is not fat, he is also in the 99th percentile in height. I have visions of the NBA in my mind. Or maybe an NFL lineman. I sure hope that he doesn’t become a Sumo wrestler.

My Dad says that maybe we should sell Solange’s milk!
