going thru a bit of change lately…new year, new car, new dog, new part-time job, new schedule/routines, no more Scrooge/facial hair, new term for the college students in my house…looking for some fresh, new ideas for blogs, songs, studies

i’m really looking forward to a little getaway this weekend with Brook to plan, dream, re-align, pray, laugh, assess, prioritize. i love that i’m truly married to my best friend!

i’m also well into The Jungle - easy but gruesome, sad read. i see why it’s a classic but wow is it just plain nasty. i think i heard about it in high school, but don’t remember reading it. i think i go with something a bit lighter when i finish this one.

What are you reading? any big changes going on in your world?

Further proof that i married up. Yeah, i think we were about 12 when this was taken.

They know what a music geek i am & have given above & beyond.

for my birthday, they started a fund for in-ear headphones. i’ve added to the pot as i sold goodies on Craigslist. for my anniversary, my lovely wife arranged an audiologist appt to have ear-molds done. the cherry on top was this past week for Father’s day. they all chipped in a bit more to complete the process. i should be the proud owner of in-ear headphones in a couple of weeks.

i’ll be a real musician before you know it!

21 yrs ago today this lovely young lady joined the mulleted man on an amazing journey that continues on to this very day
