You Have Dysentary

I hope I’m not too old for you all to remember Oregon Trail, because this shirt is awesome. Its sad to think that the game was about 14 years old when I started playing it in middle school computer class.

Finally, I’m an uncle! Congratulations to Lindsey and Andrew! Parker Adams was born yesterday evening (not sure of the exact time) but he weighs in at almost 10 lbs!
Lindsey went into labor yesterday around 12:20pm yesterday and after nearly 8 hours of labor they decided to go cesarean. They both did just fine and the baby is adorable. I only have one camera-phone photo as I couldn’t go up to caribou for the birth, but I’ll take tons of photos this weekend if I go up.
I’ve put this off until we got the show rolling again, and I think since this week marked the 3rd consecutive show since its resurrection, I’ve decided now is the perfect time to post.
If you’ll humor me, I’d like to give you a little glimps into the hectic and wild childhood I had. Back when Jalbey, Doody, Matty B. and I spent a ton of time hanging out at Jalb’s house, I believe circa 1998-99, Jalbey and Doody brought up the idea of doing a weekly internet radio show to us. As Doody says, “It started when Jalb and I actually got the idea from a bored night when we just spoke into a mic on his old stereo and played music and recorded it onto a tape, and we loved doing it.”
Just a quick note to add a minor edit and stuff:
The Maniacs name was actually first chosen because we were all from the true heart of Maine (by heart I mean not just the coast which is what everyone thinks Maine is). In other words Maniacs is sometimes what Maine people are called.
Also, part of the reason it is released primarily as a podcast is we have not figured out a way to do it live just yet, but even if we ever are able to we would still release it as a podcast as well anyway because as Euicho said, it’s just cool that way.
We do enjoy doing it, and we really miss doing it together because being able to interact that way produces better chit-chat, but we really do enjoy doing it any way we can. And we are always happy to have new listeners.
Edit to my comment above, I did actually read the article Euicho just added the Maine thing afterwards hehehe…
Isn’t it odd what you find when you type your name into Google? Glad to hear that you enjoyed the years of VANF Weekly Show broadcasts that George and I did together. We both greatly enjoyed our time on the air.
Now, I find myself working as a manager with a large Real Estate Investment Trust over in DC. How times change…
Best wishes with your new show in the future!

Wow, thanks for stopping by Gary. We enjoyed you and George’s show. Its really good to hear you’re doing well!
Yeah thanks again Gary. We definitely liked your show and it made us want to do our own, its great to hear that you are doing well!
My little sister is giving birth to her first child this weekend, if all goes well. Lindsey is due on the 9th of this month (this Saturday) and Amme and I are going up to Caribou to be with her. My Mother should also be up as soon as we get the word Lin has gone into labor. I’ll soon be an uncle! Thats so weird.
Updates and photos after the weekend!
