I found a rare slice of time this evening, and I filled it with some photo editing. Take a peek at my Flickr page for some new and not so new pictures of the twins.
Fading fast, and feeling like I am about to come down with a "daycare cold". Hopefully I will find to write something interesting soon.

Happy Birthday Darth!
Wow! It has really been 30 years since the debut of my favorite movie of all time, Star Wars! Happy birthday to Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Lea, Chewbacca, C-3P0, R2-D2, the stormtroopers, etc.
To think of the hours I spent as a child playing with my SW action figures (which I STILL HAVE), the countless times I have seen the movies, and the dream to one day own a full stormtrooper costume...

38 Special
The title of this post has nothing to do with the revolver, nor does it refer in in any way to the Southern Rock band of the same name. The number 38 is my new age, and today is my special day.
Thirty eight years ago today, I entered the world having no idea what lay ahead. Nothing has changed, as I still have no idea what my future will hold. Well, I do know a few things about it, and who will be a part of it, but generally the future is a special mystery to me, to all of us really.
The future is special, today is special (for me anyway), and today I am 38.

Taylor
I received my birthday present early today (thanks, Shell!).
Ever since we brought the girls home, I have found it difficult to find time to get behind my drum set, so I needed a solution to keep my musical cravings satisfied. Drums are loud, pianos take up a lot of space (though I *really* want one soon), and I just don't have any current desire to learn any of the woodwinds or brass instruments. So...I asked for a guitar. I have a ukulele, and it's cool but sort of limited.
I bought a guitar a few years ago, but it was very *inexpensive*, and me being a drummer and naive about guitar quality, I hadn't realized it was going to be a piece of crap. Now I have a better idea of what a decent guitar should cost, thanks to my friend John who commutes to Fremont on the same van with me. Thanks, John.
Anyway, I had a nice day off playing my new Taylor acoustic guitar (after 4 hours of yard work). OK, the term "playing" is open to debate, but I did manage to learn a few chords.

Gold Rush Town
We are up here in gold rush country for a wedding. The town is Nevada City, the wedding is of our friends Heather and Steven.
We rented a whimsical house which happens to have Internet access; hence my ability to make this post. We are here with auntie Kimmy, uncle Corey and uncle Bern who the girls have affectionately nicknamed "Cookie and Bum".
The girls are hanging out with Grammy and Gong Gong down in the valley. This their first time apart from mom and dad since we brought them home. I miss them, as does shell. They are having a great time though. Grammy has a lot of toys for them, and Elmo videos!
The other ladies are busy readying themselves for the ceremony this evening. I might grab a short nap or go read a book.
Later...
