First Bike Ride of 2008

When the temperature in February is in the 60's, you've gotta take advantage of it. We took a little pre-Super Bowl ride/walk to the park.

Practice, Practice, Practice...

... that's how I'll get to Carnegie Hall.

When I'm not marching around the house playing various instruments and leading parades, I can often be found at my desk composing new music - this one happens to be for the xylophone. If you leave me a comment, I'll make sure you get tickets to my first concert ;-)

Cozy Quarters

Here's a sneak peak at where I'll be sleeping when we go on vacation to Mexico...

Some might be tempted to call it a Man Cave, but I think I prefer Toddler Tent. In either case, I've had a lot of fun sleeping in it lately and I'm really looking forward to sleeping in it for a whole week in Mexico.

Pizza Guy

Last weekend, we were back in Florence to see Uncle Steve, Aunt Dawn, Max, Autumn, Grandma Jean and Uncle Kevin (they drove up from Atlanta). We had a great time after we got past a small hiccup with the car on the drive down - note: once you've replaced one spark plug that was explosively ejected from the engine, don't stand in front of the vehicle when you try to re-start it - we now know why the spark plug covers in the Tribute are bolted to the engine block... ;-)

As I mentioned, we had a great time in South Carolina. In addition to jumping on the trampoline and generally running like a wildman through the house, I also got to make a pizza with Uncle Stephen and Max - and boy did it taste good!

Addition Update

Now the landscaping is beginning to take shape. The retaining wall and steps are done. Next up is the flagstone patio and, with any luck, grass.

Workin' For The Weekend

After a long week of banging on stuff, tightening stuff, loosening stuff and banging on some more stuff...

... all a guy wants to do is snuggle up with one of his best friends (Sabre, the hockey bear).

End of A Great Season

With the Packers' loss to the Giants in the NFC Championship game, our season of green and gold has come to an end. It was fun while it lasted and hopefully we'll make it to the Super Bowl next year.

How 'bout one more year, Brett?
