Greetings from Seoul. Made it to the hotel a couple of hours ago after flying 17 hours today. Besides being stuck in an elevator for 25 minutes in San Francisco today the trip was unremarkable.
People ask me sometimes how it feels to spend 17 hours in an airplane. Here's the closest I can explain it. Go out into your garage and get into the backseat of your car (no larger than a mid-size). Close the door, buckle your seatbelt, and settle in with a couple of magazines, books, ipod, etc. Spend the next 17 hours in that position only getting up for an occasional quick bathroom break. Remember to note that at the 8 hour mark you aren't even half way there yet. Oh, and when you finish set all the clocks in your house 14 hours forward to take into account the time change. Enjoy your flight.
More tomorrow. My little friend Mr. Tylenol PM is calling my name.
Tomorrow's topic will be "Why do we spend so much energy thinking of a good middle name when after the first year or so no one even remembers it anymore". Ponder that until then.

We thought we would help you out. There are several reason to think of “proper” middle names. 1. Be careful that the initials don’t spell something that your child will blush over. 2. Don’t name your kids something that when their name is called out in school they want to crawl under their desk. EX: Robin Banks, Crystal Clear, April Showers, Forrest Green…and the winner of them all (I, Kim, went to school with this guy) Jason Harry Dick. Sorry to offend someone that might be reading this but it’s true. 3. I don’t care for this one but, some people actually go by their middle names. 4. Everybody wants a cool name. Calling a 60 year old lady Bambi or Muffin just don’t seem right!
We hate to argue the fact that the middle name will be forgotten within a year or so. The middle name is important because when the kids do something wrong or say something shocking you will be using the FULL NAME. If I only had a dime for every time I heard my mother say, “Kimberly Dawn” I would be a wealthy woman.
Hope this helps with your confusion. We are always here to help!
Love you guys,

Keep in mind too that no matter how hard you try, the kids still likely will hate the middle name and will refuse to ever tell anyone what it is when they're adults. - David
