For the past week or so Cullen has been trying to rollover. He starts out on his back, rocks up on one side, wiggles a little bit and falls back to his backside. This maneuver reapeats a few dozen times until he gets frustrated.
He never could get over the last hurdle, his shoulder.
But all that changed yesterday…

There is a Tailgate Party scheduled for Saturday, September 30, 2006. The Troy University Alumni Association’s Birmingham Chapter is throwing the bash on the east side of Legion Field. You can park in Lots D & F, inside the gates of Legion Field, for easy access to the party. Look for the tent flying Troy banners and flags. We’re told some snacks and beverages will be provided.
The party kicks off at 4 p.m.
The Troy vs. UAB game kicks off at 6 p.m.
I’m not sure this is covered in The Art of War, but imagine if all $20 million business deals were decided this way!
Lessons learned: scissors beats paper and always lead with scissors.
The State of Alabama has declared 2007 as the “Year of Alabama Art”.
Birmingham-based print artist Buchanan’s blog points to the State’s site posting artist listings, upcoming events and announcing plans for a new site.
As of this morning… no sock is safe…
Dolmathes, Souvlakia and Pasticho… oh my! It’s about that time of year, to start standing in line again.
The always popular (and spectacularly crowded) Birmingham Greek Festival is next week Sept. 21-23 at the Holy Trinity - Holy Cross Cathedral on the corner of 19th Street and 4th Avenue South. It’s a beautiful building that will be full of good food, colorful dancing/music and art.
Here’s a link to this year’s menu (it’s a pdf download).
The three of us hiked downtown this past weekend looking for art treasures during the biggest Artwalk to date. We didn’t find any art we needed (but I did buy two books from the Literacy Council booksale). We did see lots of art while touring loft apartment buildings. But the last tour was a bit much, as one member of team Bryant didn’t make it…
which was a shame, because if he had stayed awake, he would have seen…
Artwalk is this weekend! If it lives up to all the anticipation, it’s going to be great! It’s normally hosted only on the Northside, but this year they have come over to the other side of the tracks. About a dozen artists will display art inside businesses on our little corner of Southside. It’s always fun to see local art, but when you get to tour some of the city’s oldest buildings and see how they’ve been renovated, it’s even better. Here’s a link to this year’s map.

The sale of Parisian (here’s the Parisian wiki) to North Carolina-based Belk hit the Bryant household (and Birmingham) hard. Some folks may be out of a job, but Bayer Properties is making sure the sale doesn’t affect their investments.
Bayer is suing both Belk and Parisian over the sale.
this is what the face of a 15 pound, 25.5 inch long baby boy looks like.
