For my son's birthday, we bought him a digital camera - the A75. It was almost cheap; and appeared to be of decent quality; and seemed to be functional for a 9 year old to use. After actually playing with it, I ended up buying a second one for myself, to complement the Digital Rebel SLR we own.

Now that we finally own a house, it was worth the effort to try and keep up with Jones. Yes, that really is a lightup reindeer in our rose bed.

As promised; click the link to see the photos from my Auburn -> Grass Valley -> Sattley - >Truckee ->Home trip. First picture is the monument errected celebrating the first long distance phone line. Funny thing is, this is right in front of some person's house..

I have a particular playlist (the "Kick Ass") list that I fnid favorable. Particularly, the tunes on this list.. the order on this list.. have a certain emotional appeal to me. They.. also.. date me. C'est la vie.

My wife scares me..

She dreamed of cabbage patch dolls. Apparently, the new and improved kind. You open the package and get a head of cabbage. blow dry it... and the kid forms out of it and waves at you.

Freaky.

Oral surgery sucks ass. Recovering afterwords, does more. Anyhow, a Geriatric Mocha, for those of you on a liquid diet: 2 shots espresso, 10 oz steamed milk, and Carnation Instant Breakfast. Get your caffeine hit _and_ a token amount of nutrition. All that's missing is the cup holder for your walker, and an appropriate spill-proof lid.
