Did anyone watch the Latin Grammys today? I was napping through most of it, but I really enjoyed the parts that I was lucid for. It seems so much more lively than the actual Grammys. The crowd was having a good time. Everyone was dancing, clapping, unified. It was pretty cool.

And Jose Feliciano was there.

And I came to a realization.

In my line of work, I'm constantly giving my last name to people to contact me. And when I would tell people my last name, Feliciano, about 20% of people would say, 'Feliciano? As in, Jose Feliciano?' And I would say yes. Then about 10% of those people would say, 'Are you guys related?' or 'Is he your dad?' or 'Feliz Navidad!'

Alas, it will happen no more.

Well, I haven't officially changed my name yet...but still. I'll miss people asking me that.

Now, it's going to be, 'Estacio, as in pistacio, but with an 'E''

Any good Mexican singers with hit Christmas songs with the last name of Estacio?

And for my picture of the day, I think you're all pretty sick of me showing pics of the wedding, so here's a pic from the voyage here. It was a pretty boring view from Chicago til about Denver, but once we hit Denver, the view was pretty spectacular. Being from Chicago, we don't have mountains to drive through, so it was a bit intimidating to drive through all the mountain passes. Unfortunately, my dad doesn't like heights much, so I was stuck with most of the mountain driving, so I wasn't able to take too many pictures, but here's one of my favorites that I was able to take, right outside of Las Vegas:
