The Saurus Cometh

So here it is, our first blog post. Being a total computer geek, I am ashamed of my late entry into the blogosphere, but I just didn't have the desire. Then my brother started up his blog with pictures of their cute little girl and whatnot, and well, here we are. Although I have no pictures of cute babies (of my own) to post, I think the above photo is very cute. So, about the picture. I am pretty sure that my family will understand it, but to those of you who are not privy to the 'saurus' thing, here is the explanation: Back when I was very young, my parents went on what was probably a much needed vacation from the kids. I don't remember much, so I could be wrong about a lot of this, but they went to California and visited Knott's Berry Farm. I've never been there, but it holds a special place in my heart. You see, upon their return, my parents presented me with a most splendid gift. It was a custom T-Shirt that had a drawing of a green dinosaur and the word "Zakasaurus" written boldly on the front. Needless to say, I was very pleased with my new found fame as the namesake of a dinosaur, and I wore the shirt frequently. Now, years later, the T-Shirt is gone; but "Zakasaurus" is one of the more popular nicknames my family calls me.
