Song - "Basket Case" by Green Day covered by Rockabye Baby

Cold, rainy weather calls for a cozy night at home. We sure were happy to have upgraded to the instamatic mood setting house mode when we moved in. Now, the house just does what we ask it to. Make me a fire.... done! Clean the cat box..... done! Blow delicious clean air from your vents... no problem. It's totally worth the extra couple bucks a month.

A Trip to the Arch

Song - "Stir it Up" by Rockabye Baby! (Bob Marley Cover)

Out in Cabo San Lucas, joining the tourists for a cruise around the Arch. We thought we were getting on a relaxing romantic sunset dinner cruise, and in all fairness, it was but what we learned was that after you get to the arch, it's about 45 minutes hanging out in the bay partying down to bad pop music so loud you can't think, tequila shots and male stripping dance-offs. And the thing was, all the boats did this. It was like a competition to see which boat could party harder. Maybe on spring break this works but when you have Montezuma's Revenge and you're on a boat with elderly couples, families and babies crying, it doesn't really make sense to force the concept. Cabo needs to chill.

The kiddy pool was a big hit last weekend. We played "drink as many bottles of white wine as you can before the sun goes down." We all won and celebrated by the fire, making smores and drinking more wine. It's a rough life, you know? And getting older is rough! I remember it being much easier as a kid.... the kiddy pool seemed much bigger.

The weather has been pretty miserable out here in Portland but it makes for a great time inside, settling down, getting cozy and relaxing. That is until lightning strikes on your street and thunder rattles your house. If you listen carefully you can hear Katana screaming in the background. She's ok.

Song - "Hurt" by Rockabye Baby!

Wow, late night post, this blog thing has become harder and harder. Well, here is a composite of my great friend Shirley's photo wall from today. I started playing around with replacing the photos with video. Could be a cool idea, might try something like this again. Of course this blog shows video so small so I will follow up with a link to a larger video. NOTE to anyone out there following, sometimes you have to reload the page on this site and/or fast forward/reverse the video, them play from the start. The site runs like an old ford, it'll work, you just have to know how to use it.

Goodnight Portland

Time lapse from my house and really cool cloud formations at sunset in Portland. Makes me want to take a nap.
