Random Fact from Adam: "Our prison system is something else. According to Sen. Jim Webb (D -- Va.):
- The U.S. has 5% of the world's population and nearly 25% of the world's reported prisoners
Another 5 million people who recently left jail remain under "correctional supervision," which includes parole, probation and other community sanctions.
- 1 in every 31 adults in the U.S. is in prison, in jail or on supervised release
- Local, state and federal spending on prison adds up to about $68 billion a year.
- 16% of adult inmates in American prisons and jails -- more than 350,000 people -- suffer from mental illness
- Drug offenders rose from 10% of the inmate population in 1984 to 33% in 2002
- African-Americans make up 12% of the U.S. population, and they accounted for 37% of those arrested on drug charges, 59% of those convicted and 74% of all drug offenders sentenced to prison

Happy Easter!

We had a nice sunny Easter weekend here in North Carolina. On Friday, Adam and I enjoyed spending time with our friends Katy and Branon and playing games. On Saturday, Adam and I got to go to the ballet! First, we ate dinner at The Mint (yes, this is the same place we had Kristen's birthday dinner). We love their $23 three-course menu and the atmosphere is awesome. The Carolina Ballet was quite enjoyable and we enjoyed our second row seats from Adam's company! And today, we celebrated Easter with spending time in worship and fellowship at church. Can't believe the weekend is over and it is off to bed before another week starts!

The UNC Tarheels won the NCAA Championship and Krispy Kreme made their glazed donuts with the infamous Carolina Blue....Adam couldn't help but to try one....


Saturday night dinner at The Mint


We love having a date night in downtown Raleigh!

Random Fact from Adam: "Remember this line in "You've Got Mail"? "The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are, can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall! Decaf!" Well, Joe Fox has a point, as the Los Angeles Times reported that Starbucks offers more than 87,000 possible drink combinations."
