Just an update on whats going on over on this side. I know I haven't been as active as I used to be. Lol, I think giving up on posting on the RSPC forum was one of the smartest things I ever did. I cut that, watching hours of political commentary shows a day and reading political blogs/news sites. The withdrawal on it was bad, didnt realize how hooked on tv and the internet I was until I gave a lot of it up.
With the extra time, I found time to go back to the University and get my dual degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. Should complement my BS in Computer Science nicely. After that, I'll finish the last few credits I need to get my Master in Comp Sci, but might convert the credits for a MS in Comp Eng. Too early to decide what to do first. Grades? Pretty damn good, 3.95-ish. Taking 21 credits last semester was a killer and broke my 4.0 streak.
Well, now for the family update:
We are doing pretty good <knock on wood>. Ami is doing great and my daughter brings us great joy. She is 19 months old and amazes us with each discovery she makes about the world around her. Cant believe it took us so long to discover the joys of parenthood.
Oh... almost forgot to mention....
Now, I have to somehow lose like 65 lbs or my wife will kill me. (pretty random way to end the post, but hey its my thread. (I really just wanted to use the rolleyes emoticon.) <--- No, idea how this fits in, but who cares at this point.)

The new addition to the family.
Meet Shivam Kirit Patel and Aum Kirit Patel.
Aum was born on 5/20/09 at 1pm and his brother Shivam 2 minutes later.
Mother and boys are doing fantastic. A few scares here and there on the babies health, they came a bit earlier than they should have. However, our hospital and the doctors and especially the nurses have done a superb job in making sure they will come how with mom healthy in 2 days.
Here is a pic of the beaming mom and our daughter Shayuri. She seems to be more interested in the babies cap then in her new brothers.
Here I am nervously holding my sons:
