Catching Up

I survived the MCAT yesterday. It was a hard test, to be sure. I expected as much, though, and am really glad it's over. The actual test-taking experience was not nearly as brutal as the studying and preparation. I should have my results in the next 30 days or so.

Have you heard of Leona Lewis? This girl is awesome. She won the UK's version of American Idol. Her debut album, Spirit, is incredible. Check it out and see what you think. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

These are the days I love New York and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. The last few days have seen temps in the mid-70s, bright blue cloudless skies, and tons of sunshine. I didn't wear my winter coat for the first time this week. New Yorkers are waking from our long winter nap, and we're hitting the streets in droves. Literally, people stop on the sidewalk and just stare into the sunlight. I was all over mid-town yesterday just walking and walking and loving being outside. I spent a couple of hours meandering through Central Park around dusk yesterday evening. NYC is truly a place unlike any other.

Wilber's show, Swing, opened last week in Beach Haven, NJ, but I haven't been down to see it yet on account of studying. So, Casey and I are headed down to the Jersey Shore this afternoon in our rented Volvo S40 to go see the show and lend some support to Wilber.

Holt Westbrook Jones

My younger brother, Matthew, and his wife, Sienna, had their first baby last night in Austin. Holt Westbrook Jones was born at 9:26p, weighing 7 lbs 1 oz. and measuring 20 in. Everybody is doing great. We Jones boys are now seven strong: Josh, Nate, Matthew, Campbell, Warner, Everett and Holt! We're pumped to add Holt to our ranks.
