A Summer Engagement

Today was finally the day that I proposed to my beautiful girlfriend.

It probably would have happened sooner, but I had to spend some time making a ring box.  (Thanks to John for the beautiful cherry)


Now the planning begins...

Ribbit

Every Wednesday is Lantern day for John, Mo, and I.  The Lantern has some of the best burgers in the area.  Tina is our favorite waitress!  She lets us write our own tickets.

This year’s statue theme in Naperville must be frogs, as seen here.  So, on the way back to the parking garage from the Lantern, Mo felt like taking a seat in one of their laps.

The Good Old Days

When I was young I played in a band... Cornucopia... named after the Black Sabbath song on the backside of Vol 4.  The backside?  Yes, this refers to when albums had a side 1 and side 2... vinyl, cassettes.  (Not that I would know.  I grew up in the digital age.)

I have not picked up a guitar in about 5 years.  After playing with such talented people for so long, cranking the guitar by myself in the spare bedroom of the townhouse just doesn’t do it for me anymore.  Fortunately I still have my guitars and the Marshall half-stack.  I’m saving them for the reunion tour.


Attached is a song from our Pathways album.  It’s called Crying Out to Myself.  Enjoy.

My First Entry

This is my new fish.  Why am I posting this?  Because it’s my first entry and I have nothing better to say right now.


My sister bought this fish for me for my birthday.  It’s a red Betta fish, and it looks pretty good on the table I made.


Today is also my father’s birthday.  Happy Birthday poppa!
