Hello. Everything is going fine. Jenna was here this weekend and that was splendid. We went to Hyde Park in the rain. Hopefully I will have the dates and info for the wedding extravaganza in the next couple of days. Jean is doing great and we are eating a lot ( Read more... )

Thanks to everybody for the excitement and the nice words ( Read more... )

I'm launching this one into the cybercanyon once again: Jean is pregnant and we are getting married.

Details to follow. We are beyond excited. Everything is taking on poetic meanings; today I watched oil-clouded water run down Ashland and into a swirling, blue-green-grey eddy.

Something to talk about.

That I am deeply bummed that I can't be attending the Pearls and Brass, Pissed Jeans, Air Conditioning show at Jeff the Pigeon next week.

Ok so its a new year. I don't think Ive been making resolutions for some time now, so I'm not going to start now. That said, I have about $600 in my bank account right now and I'm looking to keep my balance in the three digit range (or even, gasp, HIGHER?) for the rest of the year ( Read more... )

I got some good "leaving the house" vs "not leaving the house" balance in this weekend. After a week of never knowing which day it was, I got quite lit with Paul and went to the Bottle to see Pit er Pat and Lazer Crystal. I always think its a good idea to get high before I head over to that place, but then I end up getting frightened by all the ( Read more... )
