Recent Adventures

We recently went on a fun day trip to the coast. We hiked around Sand Lake (south of Tillamook) and played a little on the beach.

We stopped for dinner at Round Table Pizza. I had never had it--it was quite yummy. Mostly, it was fun to watch Edgar FREAK OUT when he got to "play" the video games. He was so excited. He drove a car in a virtual racer game and played some Pac Man and Asteroids.

A different week, Edgar and I joined some friends for a morning at OMSI. Here's Edgar with his FAVORITE person whom he affectionately calls "Beh-Poo" or more recently, "Bep-keyz"

Conclusion: Flowers are not good for eating.

8 Years

As of this last Monday, I have been married to my best friend for 8 YEARS! Wow.

A little more hair...

A little less tan.

A few more guitars...

A lot less time to play them.

Same tiny (but happy) apartment...

one more person living there.

In all, I think it has been a fantastic 8 years. Alex: I ADORE YOU! Thanks for being such a great husband, for being my best friend, for being a fun bandmate, for being a fantastic father to our son, and for still being my consort after this many years.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Mustachioed Traditions

This, my friends, is a moustache vending machine.

That's right, I said, "moustache vending machine."

It is located at the Skipper's Restaurant in Salem, OR.

This is where we go for lunch after every Edgar doctor appointment.

A new tradition was born: Trip To Doc = A New Moustache.
