Three days later, and still people are talking about the Sopranos finale. I've read a bunch of theories and opinions, and have enjoyed hearing everyone's take on it. Personally, I liked the ending and found it very satisfying. The best theory I heard and the one that I choose to believe is that the audience got whacked. That's why the screen went to black and the music was silenced. If you choose to believe Tony was shot, you are correct. If you choose to believe he went to prison, you are correct. If you choose life goes on, you are also correct. Many are angry that David Chase, the writer, didn't make this decision himself. I like it better that way. He obviously had a lot of fun with the end and ratcheted up the tension to a very extreme level. Mrs. U and I were on the edge of our seats until the very last frame, and that's the most I can ask for from a television show, especially since we are both usually falling asleep on the couch by 930 each night.

We have lowered the crib to the bottom rung, so that the boy doesn't get any ideas about escaping. He's pulling up on small objects now, and we expect that he'll be cruising around the coffee table once he figures out that he can. He went to the pediatrician yesterday and is 17.5 pounds and 27 3/4 inches (or almost 2 foot four). Still no sign of teeth. I wish they'd come soon so he can enjoy a few more solid foods. Plus, it's always nice to have the option to flash a toothy grin.

I've edited a new video of the boy crawling and put in on my private youtube account for friends and family. If you'd like an invite and a link, please email me at theundaground@gmail.com and I'll send it to you.
