Tonight, tonight...
I'll be on KAOS tonight doing Free Things Are Cool from nine to eleven. You can expect a whole lot more playlists online in the near future as my friend Jami is kindly doing the data entry for me. What a peach. I don't know If I'll be posting them on this blog or just making an archive somewhere online. But the point is that they'll be digitized and proliferated for posterity. It's a relief. It's somehow validating to be able to google your work and show that you've actually accomplished something --- even if it's only playing records. I'm just glad that I've succesfully held on to them for long enough to see it happen. There's a bit of a hole somewhere in the late 90s when the music directors at KAOS were being bad about getting the playlists back to the programmers but other than that, I have a complete record of all the records that I played on KAOS from August of '93 til the present. Now you can complain about I didn't play YOUR band enough. I look forward to hearing from you. Tonight's playlist later.
In other news: I'm going to Copper Harbor for vacation on Friday and plan to have a very nice time indeed. So, perhaps it will be much later that the playlist is posted, but I'll try to get it up (no crude pun intended) before I leave.
The picture is of me on our Rocky Ledge (otherwise known as the coctail rock) about 4 years ago. I plan to be swimming and consuming there soon.
Amen.

I'm well!
I was sick and now I'm well. And hyper. Being well is such a frickin' relief! I was a pukin' sickie and now I'm a bloggin' homie. I was just going through old bookmarks and found this one which must've been one of Min's but I did it and it's fun. It's a checklist where you check all the states where you've been and it shades them so that you can see.
create your own personalized map of the USA
I did a similar thing when I was a young lad, but I've been to a lot more states now. I don't know why it had to make them all Red States. Ewww... That's pretty annoying. I've been to 44! Some of them hardly count though... Driving through the panhandle of Texas when I was 12... Going to Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine when I was under a year old. But strictly speaking, my body has been in 43 states (and DC---I lived there, fer chrissake). And British Columbia. Nyuk, nyuk. Um, And Netherlands, Holland, Italy, Germany and France. All in 2 weeks. Other than that, I haven't been anywhere. I wish I could travel more. Who's got a good travelin' job for me? Not that I want to be away from my sweet baby right now anyway. She's a cutie.
So last entry I said I'd post more... You know... Number two and everything? Okay:
#2 - A week ago Sunday
HIKE!!!
The whole family got out of the house and went on our first hike. Gillian was a slave driver in her jogging stroller. We joked that she was like Cleopatra being pushed around on a little mountain expedition. I was WORKED. The thing is that the trail we went on is a little overgrown and for a good deal of the uphill portion (1000' of ascent in 2 miles) I was having to hold her up on just the front wheel of the three wheel stoller so I was getting a great chest workout in addition to the cardio and leg workout from the climbing. It was great. Lots of fun. This trail is the same one where we saw the Trillium (so kindly identified by Nathan) flower of which I previously posted a picture. There were even cooler flowers this time. Okay, Mr. Smartypants botonist Nathan, what kind of flower is this?
It's a weird one eh? I'm thinking maybe it's some kind of orchid? I dunno. I really know nothing about flowers. They look great when you get in with that Macro setting on your cam though, huh?
Anyway... I'm actually starting to feel sleepy, so I should get my beauty rest now. It's midnight and I'm gonna turn into a pumpkin. But first here's another picture from our hike. Goodnight.

Blogging a week behind.
It's been a busy week or two. Or three. Or a busy 7 months. Being a dad is really busy. I thought I was extra busy during the pregnancy when my wife was tired and unable to contribute to the housecleaning and stuff as much as usual. But that was nothing. Now I'm really busy. But you know, upon reflection, it's not so much that I'm busier than other times in my life, it's just that now I'm busy and I'm old. I was really busy when I was going to school full time and working 25 hours a week. Somehow I still had time to go to lots of rock shows and everything then. The difference is that I was 25 then and now I'm 35. It's really a big difference. The blogging is cool and I feel like it's a great way to get my thoughts in order, but I'm a slow writer and I'll always be somewhat of a slacker --- it's my generation, right? Anyway, all that aside, let's review some of the highlights of the past week.
#1 Last Friday:
Fun times! It had been a hard week and I was looking forward to a 3 day weekend. Mindy and Gillian picked me up from work and we went down to Capitol Lake to take a walk and get some dinner. The weather was great and the food was excellent. We went to El Guanaco on Water street. I've been there a couple of times before and always been really pleased. It's a Salvadoran menu and the people who run it are really nice. Gillian was being kind of grumpy and only let one of us eat at a time (pretty typical of late actually) and the owners actually offered to hold her so we could eat! And the place is smoke-free! I love it. I had the best fried plantains I've ever had. Sooo good. And the beef tacos were perfection. And the Dos XX was, well, just what I needed after a long week of toil.
Then for the main event. Jenny Jenkins was having a punk rock cake walk at Manium to benefit Ladyfest. Mindy made a cake for it and so we headed down there. Fun stuff. Unfortunately we only got to watch one band 'cause Gillie was getting tired and cranky. We needed to get her home and into bed.
That's all for now. #2 to follow...
