This from the comments:

Here's a comment left by David Crumm (2 m's) under the previous post. Thanks David and we wish you and your's a Merry Christmas too:

"Wow! What a discovery!
I am David Crumm (2-ms) and my late brother (lost to cancer unfortunately) was Dr. Stephen Crumm. My other brother is John Crumm -- and my son, now studying international relations -- is Benjamin Crumm. My brother John got his masters of planning at University of Maryland and my daughter Megan Crumm is studying at a seminary in Washington D.C. -- so although we're based in Michigan we have lots of ties to D.C. and Maryland...

Merry Christmas from your (apparently) long-lost Crumm clan relatives. (My Dad the genealogist says the 1-m Crums are related to us -- but one particular Crum(m) after the Civil War claimed some land in Michigan and headed West from the eastern branch.)

Glad to discover you cousins!

...

Happy New Year!
-- David Crumm"

Control Yourselves!

Typically, as a rule, I don't use exclamation points, ever. But this is one of those rare situations that deserves a sense of urgency... If you recieve a DVD (two DVDs to be exact), do not watch them yet! If you recieve a package and you do not live in Maryland, you may open it, but do not watch the DVDs yet! If you are in Maryland, do not open the package, even though there are DVDs in there, you can't watch them anyway! The reason others can open their packages is that some (Matt and Emily) are responsible for dispersing said DVDs to others (but still don't anyone watch them yet!) On Christmas Day, Maryland people may open their package, but do not yet watch the DVDs! It is very important that the DVDs are not viewed until the evening of Christmas Day! I recommend putting them someplace safe, like on a high shelf out of the reach of anyone who might try to sneak a view. Be sure to put a Post-it on the television, and another on the gallon of milk, and just to be safe a bright pink Post-it duct taped to your wrist. Then whenever evening on Christmas Day arrives (officially that would be 5:23 PM or 17:23 hours). Then and only then should you place the first DVD (either one will do) into the nearest DVD player. Make sure your televison is properly connected (and turned on) and sit down quietly, preparing yourselves for something really special...
Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Burn

If you have not already gotten one, you can look for a CD in the mail soon. The 'Merry Burned Christmas 2008' is a mix that has nothing to do with Christmas (mostly because I don't like Christmas music). Here's a track to wet-your-whistle, though you will not actually find this artist or this track on the CD. Enjoy!



And now this completly different version:

Anyone considering what gift to buy for Jon this year may consider the following item (thanks to Mom for finding this one):



I especially like the explanation below the picture.

Christmas Greetings

Daniel, Michal, Zion and I go over to the Hogue's for dinner most Tuesday nights. Daniel loves playing with all the new toys and reading new books. His favorite book at their house is "Bum Pum Pum" (or, the Little Drummer Boy). This has now become his favorite song to sing. In fact, he often sings it over me when I try to sing any other song.

The Good, The Bad, and The Mustache

Here's a movie Nathan Alberson and I made over Thanksgiving Break. Hope you enjoy my mustache.

Christmas Gift Exchange

Up until a few years ago, when (almost) everyone would be home for Christmas, we had a gift exchange plan that worked well for our family. Names were exchanged the day after Thanksgiving, and each person bought a gift for one other brother or sister. But, the "exchange" did not work well when family members were excluded by distance or other Christmas plans. We (meaning I) decided that only those who would be present for Christmas should participate primarily so that the younger ones, especially, would have the joy of giving and receiving their gifts in person. Now that new families are sprouting and the youngest children at home are growing up, I think we need a new Christmas gift exchange plan.

A friend told me that in her family there is a rotation plan. Each individual (or family) buys for one other individual (or family) each year--that remains the same as our plan. But the schedule is set in advance; there is no secrecy. Peter and Jess, for example, would buy a gift for Matt and Emily the first year, Ben and Michal the second year, Jon the third year, and on around the family until they had bought a gift for each other brother and sister (or family). This plan would allow everyone to participate without a burden on anyone. It also opens up a greater possibility of hand-made gifts that might take longer than a month to complete. Every family member could add creative touches to the gift.

Since we have already exchanged names for this Christmas, I am proposing that we begin the new plan with Christmas 2009. The list would be published at the beginning of January. So....please consider this proposal and respond with any queries, addenda, suggested modifications, or a simple thumbs up or down. Thanks.

Do you ever get the feeling that you are being watched, and then you turn around and you are being watched by some creepy seven foot tall homeless guy with no teeth? He then looks away and you go on picking garbage out of the dumpster behind the supermarket.

Well, as Matt has pointed out before... Google is watching you! Quick, run to the window and wave!

Jude's Monkey Blog

Just a couple months ago Jude and I decided to set up his own blog so that he can post stuff he's interested in. So far he has come up with two movies. He wrote down the ideas, talked with his sisters Ashley and Aravis, and had them star in his short films. You can follow this link to see what he's posted... http://judesmonkeyblog.blogspot.com/ I reccomend watching the film "Soccer" first, and then "Frisbee" considering that you should almost always watch movies in the order they were filmed.

Do You Gmail?

I know some of you are on the Gmail, some are not. When I started up my gmail today I noticed it looked a little different. The colors were a little bolder, it looked cleaner. So I snooped around and found that the Google team had added 'Themes' to their mail program allowing users to 're skin' their email account. It's these simple little things that I love about the Inter-web-net-tubes. Now I just spend 10 minutes looking through all the themes to find the one that's right for me... which one is right for you (gmailers)?

If you're not already on gmail and still use something else (Yahoo? Come on Dave!) you should switch... it'll be like giving yourself an early Christmas present.

Enjoy.

In The Next Four Years

I am not one to make predictions or talk at length about politics. Here, however, are some things that I am looking forward to over the next four years:

1. Finally getting a gun --- Not knowing how long we will have this right (or even the right to talk about it) I will get a gun to protect my family and my rights.

2. Move to Texas --- I am really hoping that in the next week or so Texas announces it's succession from The Union. I really don't want a war here, but it would be nice to have an oil-rich country to move to.



3. Purchase a hybrid, hover-car --- this really has nothing to do with the election or moving to Texas, I just think we're well overdue for hover-cars and I think it would be really sweet.

So what are you looking forward to (if anything)?

Here Comes The Sun, Doot Doo Doo Doo...

And now for something...

...completely different.

This from the deep tomes of the inter-tube-web:

A Vote for Capitalism

Driving Elisabeth to the Benners' this morning, we passed the Catonsville Middle School. Cars lined the street for several blocks, and the line of people stretched far down the sidewalk. I decided to wait until mid-morning before going to the polls, thinking the lines would have diminished. At 10:00 am, cars were stretched up and down the street in front of Westowne Elementary, and the line of people there looked just as long as the line I had seen earlier. It moved quickly, however, and it was only about a half-hour from the time I got on line until I had voted.
One entreprenurial fifth grade class had stategically placed a large table of sweets for sale as a fund raiser for their Philadelphia field trip and even had students pacing up and down the waiting line selling drinks and snacks. Does anyone else think it's odd that Capri Sun sells for $0.50 while water sells for $1.00?
I don't remember the voter turn-out being so high in any other presidential election in which I participated. Are the others finding the same results where you're voting?

Jumping Jon

Consistently (and this has nothing to do with the Guest post below) Japanese culture baffles me. Don't ask how, but I stumbled upon a Japanese McDonald's site today that allows you to upload a picture of yourself (or your brother Jon) and turn it into a Fast Food themed avatar --- in this case, a hash brown. Mmmm, could anything make you want to eat at a Big Mac more than seeing Jon's face with a red-dot-nose dancing around to Japanese children singing a Zelda song? I submit it could not!

You can sign up here, they'll email you your password.

Clarification

I kind of hope that it's obvious who you all are going to vote for here in a few days. Maybe I'm wrong, and I don't really know any of you, but as a Crum I'm pretty confident... Anyways, I've been seeing Obama's campaign posters on television, and I realized I could maybe help clear up what he really meant to say:

Remember to vote early and vote often.

Anonymous

Recently I (an anonymous user here on the Crum Family's Blog) saw a list of currently acceptable 'politically correct' terms for everyday use. I say 'currently' accepted because this list seems to change every week or so adding a new term to the list of 'non-correct' terms or rendering one of the previously accepted modified terms now unacceptable.

Here's how it works. Christopher Columbus landed on a continent he believed to be Asia, thus he referred to the native people as 'Indians' (persons from India), though, he would have been better off calling them Chinese since there are more Chinamen on the Asian continent than Indians. Since then we (white people) have called the natives to this land 'Indians'. This is wrong. We should only call people what they want to be called.

So, wanting to know the truth behind this, I searched for 'Politically Correct Terms' and came up with this list:

Mentally Challenged instead of Retarded / Retard
Little person instead of Midget
Jewish Person instead of Jew
Native American instead of Indian
Inuit instead of Eskimo
Homeless Person instead of Bum

There is also the word niggardly" which means stingy or cheap. Although it is not considered offensive by definition, it sounds way to close to the racial slur for blacks. You should probably avoid using it.

Chink is another word th[a]t means a crack or chip. It is also a slur for a Chinese person. I'd avoid using it.

What? Jewish person instead of Jew? I didn't know Jew was derogatory! And we can't use words because they sound like a word that is offensive? What in the world! What about words and gestures that sound like/look like offensive gestures in other cultures? Aren't we supposed to be culturally sensitive? This is just ridiculous... we're going to politically-correct ourselves into slavery.

Well, I hope this video helps stem the tide: Enjoy!

victoria, continued

The General Council convened this morning. Since I am not a delegate or an alternate I have no obligation to attend any of the meetings. So, this morning I window shopped my way up to Roberta's Hats, the shop I was interested in visiting. I tried on a myriad of hats of all sorts, mostly to find one to purchase, but some for fun. Unfortunately, there was a store policy against photography, otherwise you would be seeing me in a rather elegant tri-cornered captain's hat--which really was stunning and quite becoming. I bought a more sedate blue wool winter hat which may appear later in the blog. I made reservations in a nearby town, Oak Bay, for tea this afternoon at the White Heather Tea Room. It was lovely, even though I was by myself. I went prepared with a book, so I wasn't really alone after all. One of the hotel staff drove me to Oak Bay, but I walked home (3-4 miles) by a scenic route through a residential area. The pictures here are of the gardens in the Government House, the residence of the Governor General, which was on my way. I was told this is where members of the royal family stay when they are in Victoria.

416 Walnut Ave.

I have a tendency to be nostalgic on here and want to take a few seconds of your time to inform you of a new (to me) feature on Google Maps… Street View. I did not research the technology behind this feature, but basically my guess is that a vehicle of some kind drives around cities, primarily in the U.S., with a panoramic camera attached, and records still images as it goes. This has led to the following discovery, our old house on Mare Island. It has the address wrong, but it has been almost 20 years since we lived there. As I took a virtual tour of the island I stopped by several memorable locales - St. Peter’s, the park with the gazebo and bunkers, the field where we played soccer, and the golf course. I found other houses, in Creve Coeur and Valrico, but this feature has its limits and houses in Landisville, Camp Pendleton, and Catonsville did not make the cut. I Hope this opens a new realm of searches and brings back many good memories.

victoria, part 3

Our walking tour today began in the Beacon Hill Park which is a center of controversy regarding the rights of the the homeless to use public space for camping. The park is large and beautiful, with many small lakes. We didn't see the tent city; I believe for now the tents may not go up until 9 pm and must be down by 6 or 7 am. At the far side of the park is a wide bay with mountains to be seen in the distance. The shore is pebbled with large round stones and littered with driftwood and seaweed. Coming back into Victoria we pass the government building. I don't think the pictures are in order, but I'm sure you can match them with their descriptions.

Victoria, part 2

These are pictures from Victoria, BC, including a view of the Reformed Episcopal Church of Our Lord, which we can see from our hotel room window. We are close to the Inner Harbour, but that view is blocked by other hotels. The other two pictures were taken in Victoria's Chinatown.

Victoria, part 1

Unaware that our (apparently mistaken--see Peter's post) scientific philosophy could land us in Victoria, BC, with just a few well-directed hops, Pop and I slapped down some cold cash for airplane tickets to get us here yesterday. We boarded planes in Baltimore, Chicago, Portland, and Seattle and spent time in each of those airports, too. Now we are on a beautiful island off the western coast of Canada.
I have done very little world traveling, so it still surprises me to find my romanicized views of other cities shattered by traffic, shopping malls, McDonald's golden arches, and all of the other mundane symbols of my usual suburban economic life. I expected Victoria to look Elizabethan (not even Victorian), with quaint shops and thatched roofs. I didn't expect 20-story hotels that block the views of the harbor and mountains.
One thing I especially enjoyed yesterday was flying over the Rockies. You get one view of the grandeur from the ground, another from high in the air. The mountains appear almost as wide from that bird's-eye perspective as they seem when traveling by car. The land seems smooth and desert-like as you fly across the plains. Then, suddenly, it folds up in front of your eyes, like crumpled suede, dusted with evergreens and snow. Although there was some cloud cover, for the most part the view was clear and awesome. I was amazed at how few roads there are, and conseqently, how much unvisited land there must be.
We are enjoying a leisurely Sunday morning. We got up before 6 after a good night's rest. We had breakfast Pop bought last night--bread, cheese, and pears plus tea. Now he's at the "gym" and a little later we'll walk to church. This afternoon we'll explore the Inner Harbor area which is just a short walk downhill. I've got Sayers and Woodhouse and Tey to read, so I'm set for a relaxing week.

Efficiency

Jess, the kids and I went to a car dealership this morning. We were looking around at different SUVs, sort of thinking that one with third row seating might be nice. Of course when you go from two rows to three it makes the vehicle itself longer. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

On the way home, my mind got to working, and I thought I'd share my epiphany with you all... Obviously we should choose the longest car possible. Let's say that the Expedition is 1.5 feet longer than the Explorer. That means that for every mile the Explorer travels, the Expedition has gone an extra 792 feet. That might not seem like much at first, but believe me it'll add up. If it takes someone in a Jeep Liberty 14 hours and 21 minutes to get to Bloomington from here, it would only take us 12 hours and 49 minutes. This is one of those ideas that I'm suprised I haven't seen exploited in televison commercials before!

Then, while my mind was on the subject of efficiency of travel, I had another brilliant flash of genius... We've been living a lie. The scientists, schoolteachers and mothers of the world have all pulled the wool over our eyes. The Earth is standing completely still. The Sun, Moon and stars are obviously rotating around us at a constant speed. How do I know this? How am i so sure that I'm willing to state on this blog that this is absolutely a fact? Let me tell you. If you jump up in the air, what happens? Nothing right? You just come right back down to where you started. If the Earth was really spinning at the rate suggested by so-caled experts, a one second hang-time in Colorado would land me somewhere in Utah (of course I'd do my jumping on the Western Slope so as to avoid smacking into the mountains). Sure you'd always have to travel in a westward direction, but you'd get everywhere so fast. A few years back my friend Rob saw a pickup truck drive past our apartment complex. In the back of the truck was a medium sized dog. As the truck flew by it hit a dip in the road, and consequently the dog bounced up into the air. The dog stayed put, the truck continued on down the road. The dog landed on all fours in the middle of the road. Case closed! If the Earth was really moving then that dog would have stayed with the truck and landed down exactly where it had taken off from, but no it landed in the street. Think of it this way; if the Earth were really spinning around at 1000+ mph, then no standard commercial airliner could keep up, and all Eastbound flights would be cancelled. I'm actually pretty tired of coming up with all this evidence, especially since I know that I have alrady proved my case well beyond your average scientific theory. Therefore, until I see one of you Easterners or Midwesterners hopping by my house at 1000 mph I'll stick to this newfound belief.

Tuesday Tunes

Hibernaculum

It's getting cold here in Colorado. The weather started changing last night, with clouds and cold air blowing in over the mountains. The first weeks of Fall were beautiful, with crisp bright mornings and golden sunny afternoons. Temperatures have been reaching 70s and not dropping below the 50s. But todoay the mountains can not be seen, which means there's snow accumulating up high. The first freeze could happen tonight and for sure tomorrow night. This all concerns me after almost stepping on a Rattlesnake the other day...

it concerns me because I've always wondered (with a slight bit of apprehension) how these cold blooded creatures survive in these cold climates durring Winter. Now if I were Mom at this point I might reconsider reading any further. I did post that picture, which may have been enough to get a shriek and a quick shutting of the laptop, but just in case, this is a verbal warning.

When I almost stepped on the Rattlesnake I was working up in Cedar Heights, a gated community up on the mountain side above Colorado Springs. I hadn't seen a Rattlesnake in the wild here in Colorado the whole time I've lived here. I had heard that they couldn't survive over a certain altitude and thought the 6,500ft + location I was working at would be safe. Of course this turned out not to be the case. This led me to a information search, and here's a little condensed version of what I found: Rattlesnakes have been found at altitudes above 9,000ft. They can survive the winter by hiberbenating below the frostline (10ft deep at those higher altitudes). A snake Hibernaculum can consist of a single or a few snakes, but it has also been documented (Mom would love this) that up to 1,000 snakes will hibernate together. Rattlesnakes and Garter snakes will even sometimes hibernate together.

People who know me know that I like snakes and have always been fascinated by then. But, the idea of Rattlesnake(s), especially a lot of them seriously scares me. At the same time I would much rather there be Rattlesnakes slithering all around than having a world overrun by rodents, so I guess I'll just have to watch my step when Spring comes back around. I'm thankful that God kept me safe the other day, and I am thankful for His creation, even when it's a little creepy.

YearBookYourself.com

The latest craze to sweep across the Facebook landscape is the trend for people (myself included) to alter their profile pic as if it were found in a yearbook from yesteryear. I stumbled upon the website where many a fine pic can be created... www.yearbookyourself.com. Having spent minutes on the site I was able to produce several creepy yearbook pics, and hopefully a few laughs. I have taken this thinking a step further, utilizing the sites resource to determine what a baby will look like when it is older (and if it were to grow a mullet)... I give you Zion Bjorn Crum, lead singer of the Journey coverband "Bjorn-nee."

Sorry there are so few pictures. We will take more and we will post more, but this is what we have now. Also, I promise that Michal and I do hold Zion, even though this is the only picture to prove it and you can't actually see the baby. Like I said, more to come...

The Waiting...

So, on Thursday I get this call, from my brother Ben.

He gives me all the info except for what I really want to know.

He asks me how work's going, what the weather's like, have I seen the new Brad Pitt movie...

I'm like; "Get to the point Ben!"

Finally after what seems like an eternity Ben tells me that Zion Bjorn Crum has been born.

Now here's the kicker; (thank's to the older post on this blog where I go on and on about a certain name that Mom suggests) I ask Ben "So what's his real name?"

The picture above is a recreation of actual events, due to the graphic nature of the real picture (considering I was at work at the time and it was a muddy day) I went to the trouble of posting this one instead.

Now my real reason for posting this is twofold: One, to apologize to Ben for the possibly offensive mistake. Two, hopefully this picture will encourage a more speedy posting of the picture(s) we're all really wanting to see.

And this... this is the strangest (yet coolest) video ever evah...

Have a great Wednesday:

Luke Buda - Special Surprise

Soccer Stars!

Jesse's team is the Strikers in the Under 10 Boys league for CAA. They won today, 4-0, with Jesse scoring the second goal. Their record is 2 wins, 1 loss. Caithlin Lynch is his coach.

William's team is the Stallions, in the Under 13 Boys league. They are undefeated. William plays fullback. Mike Nee is his coach.

Matt's Blog...

In case any family members who seem to have fallen off the face of the blog-sphere happen to land here, you should redirect your attention to Matt's latest post [here]. It's one heck of a nostalgic joy-ride.

Baby Names

Ben and Michal are expecting a boy this month (although Elisabeth insists that only Crum girls may arrive in September). I would like to go on record with my guesses as to his name--and the reasons for my guesses. I invite others to post their guesses, too. I will personally award a prize to anyone whose guess is right-on (barring Ben and Michal, of course).

Mom's 1st Guess: Noah or Job
This guess comes from my reading in Ezekiel 14. Three righteous men are mentioned by name--Noah, Daniel, and Job. Since Daniel has already arrived, I'm guessing Noah is next in line.

Mom's 2nd Guess: Bjorn
I had a dream about the new baby, and his name was Bjorn in my dream. No, he wasn't a skin-changing bear. I will be content if this is his middle name, but I may call him Bjorn, no matter what his given name is.

The Full Toast

Best Tee-Shirt

The best tee-shirt slogan I've ever seen was worn by my cousin Richard at our recent reunion.
It said--
"It takes a viking to raze a village."

Genius!

The other day I complained on my blog about the new iTunes (version 8) crashing on my computer every time it tried to start up. Well, now that's all taken care of and I am loving it. Most of the new features that Apple releases with iTunes go by the wayside: the mini-store, folders for playlists [though, this is a great idea... I just don't want to have that many playlists], and now the new genius bar that tries to sell you more music. But there is one 'Genius' feature that is awesome. The Genius generated playlist. Here's how it works. You select a song you feel like listening to (eg. "No One's Gonna Love You" by Band of Horses), click the 'Genius' button (the little orbiting atom at the bottom-right), and Apple generates a playlist of similar music from your existing library. This is a great, simple way to listen to a random assortment of your own music without having Brian Regan, Bill Cosby, Mozart and The Arc Choir pop-up unannounced and unwanted.

From the cutting room floor

I thought I'd post a couple clips that I didn't include on the DVD. If you didn't get a DVD, find a Crum and ask nicely to watch. This first clip is Stephen, Jill and a pillow. Soon I release Matt's uncut toast...

Honor Du-elle

Ms. Alaska

Mom, I am very interested in hearing what you have to say about John McCain's running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin. When I first heard his pick I thought it was an awesome move, now I am not so sure, but can she be groomed to be a viable political force? I like that she is mold-able (she doesn't have a history, legacy, or reputation to live up to).



So what do you think?

Another Movie

Jess finally got to see it tonight, just ten short years to the day; our wedding video. I put together some video that Uncle Bob and Aunt Sandy shot, along with some pictures and a little new footage, and we now have our own official wedding video. All your DVDs are burned, and I'll be sending them out shortly. I hope you enjoy.

WARNING: Do not watch the new Eagle Eye trailer if you have any desire to watch this film! That's right, if you watch the new trailer you will ruin all surprise within the film.

The original trailer left you wondering what was going to happen and how this worked into a story, the new trailer shows how the story will unfold, tells you what the plot-twist is, and hints at the resolution.

Don't watch, wait a month and see it in the theater.

New Crum Member

I know most of you were expecting a new member to the Crum family to come from Michal and me and to come in September. Jon, however, notified me that, to my surprise and great delight, Gerald Crum is even now celebrating the birth of his son, David Devin (sorry, I got his name wrong).

Now, I know what some of you are thinking: who the heck is Gerald? But I will remind you, his last name is Crum, that's right, Crum...

Adult male, perhaps Gerald, with alleged new born son, David (or maybe some other child). Also, an unknown hand from a third-party, perhaps the mother or a grandparent or something.

Thanks for the heads-up Jon.

TR2N

Sometimes I know I'm a Jonny-come-lately. We don't watch television and so I stumble upon news after most people think it's common knowledge. However, I would be surprised if any of you have heard of this yet:

TRON 2

A teaser trailer was released at Comic-con in California a couple days ago. It shows an older Jeff Bridges watching an updated light-bike race. Pretty cool.
