In some swirls of the wrist the brush can show signs of pre meditated bias of color transfer. in that case I tend to try to walk the dog on hilly streets, well except I don't have a dog.

Silly girl

2011-12-16T05:33:00.001-05:00

I have to say that Rose is a little odd gal, at this point she takes a tumble in stride. As we see her grow we love her and enjoy her so. I think she's madly in love with Susan, though she looks to her Mommy for comfort she will get bent out of shape and then be alright. I guess this might be normal. Who knows. I love that little Rose.

Cute little Rose

2011-12-13T03:01:00.001-05:00

She's so adorable and all. She Loves her mommy sooooooooo much. Anyway she has all of us laughing and giggling quite a bit.

Cousins

2011-11-27T09:17:00.001-05:00

We will miss the Watts

Music lessons

2011-11-14T20:51:00.001-05:00

I think Rose wants to learn violin

Our burn table at work

2011-11-03T19:51:00.001-04:00

I am amazed at how well our brand new burn table cuts metal. More to come. Maybe design aluminum planes

Rose finds pockets

2011-11-02T17:08:00.001-04:00

Susan showed Rose her pockets, it was fun.

Rose likes days that she gets to play with Rachel and Helen

2011-10-16T13:09:00.000-04:00

Rose has been hanging out with Helen Beckman these days. This is her mommy Rachel, Susan and Rachel are trading off babysitting so the other can teach lessons. Rachel is the Cellist from Susan's trio, so it's pretty cool.. Such a blessing to have such a barter as we want someone we trust and like Rose to be around... anyway things are going pretty well... see ya

Susan, Rose and I just got back from camping at Big Sur in California, off Highway 1 below Monterey. It was a great trip. Rose did pretty well on the plane, train and car rides, and had a pretty good time. It was awesome seeing all the little munchkins and their parentals. I went up the creek with Doug, Edie, Tim and Jude, which made me excited about next year possibly taking Rose up there to the main creek hangout... anyway we truly had a great time it's been hard to re adjust to being in the Eastern Time zone. We slept till 10 am this morning.. I usually get up at 5am... this is going to hurt me more then it hurts me.. wait... anyway... take care... Dablinder was awesome with Rose, I love my sisters way of playing with the intent to teach.. Rose learning how to say I want more tickles or that's enough... Really cool to be a part of such an amazing family.. Sorry Julie and that girls couldn't make it this year... there's always next year...
come
enjoy
don't sleep
but enjoy

2011-01-06T06:41:00.000-05:00

I love our little Rose, she's truly a gift from God. She's a little more with it and aware everyday I come home from work. I don't think Susan notices quite as much but good gravy she's growin. Susan and I went over to a friend's house who had a daughter on Christmas day, we took Rose with us. I sat there and held this feather weight 8lbs something. Their daughter was tiny, and two pounds more to her then Rose when she arrived. I'm amazed at how fast this is happening. She talked, for awhile last night. At first when she'd "talk" if you did anything she'd stop. Now it's no stopping, she's spouting. I think she'd trying to tell everyone that I'm not as bad as I seem. ha ha.. Anyway she's such a blessing, anyway off to work... Brian

I don't know it just seemed like pinky time

2010-10-16T04:38:00.001-04:00

We are excited as we watch Rose become more aware of her surroundings. She likes making cool noises that both Susan and I enjoy. There are lots of poop problems, I guess poop should be a problem when you think about it. I just wanted to put a few pictures and videos up to let people enjoy our Rose from across the country.... so enjoy

the new life

2010-09-13T21:50:00.000-04:00

there are times when nothing matters the way it did two weeks ago. I don't know how but this little one has turned our world upside down, and given us a new perspective of what we thought we wanted/needed on a day by day basis. As the screams of dirty diaper or hunger pains seem all too real we are left to figure out what's ailing our Rose. Anyway I should probably go... life is changing pretty fast so we're going to try and keep up... Peace

Rose Hawkins Whitacre

2010-09-06T13:12:00.000-04:00

Just letting those who follow this and don't know, Rose came into the world. it was the morning of September 1st. it was at 4:44am 6 minutes after texting Susan's Mom, Jean, saying "super close." She was a little cold but did pretty well for a 6 pound and 6 ounce 21 and 1/2 inch bundle of sweetness.... I am excited to say we aren't sure what she's going to do when she grows up yet but she likes chewing on her fingers which may mean she'd like to be doing something that she could worry about allot. She also likes to make faces, which may mean she'd like being an actor.... We'll try to let you know when she finally decides what she's going to do with her life... proud Papa Bear, Brian

When oh when will our Strawberry Shortcake come along?

2010-08-14T08:40:00.000-04:00

It's Saturday and we are entering the home stretch, baby clothes washed, hospital bag packed, crib up, bassinet borrowed. Anyway, as the time approaches I feel God's gentle hand, things like. At work we've been working 3-4 days a week in order not to lay more people off. Well with these extra days of my weekend I've been able to work for my landlord as much as I want. Things like yesterday I got to dig up some bushes with a backhoe. Big time fun and danger level of destroying property is high. Anyway I've been enjoying feeling out of control in knowing that He who is in control has plans foam me and my family. Another thing about working with the landlord is that he doesn't want to run the backhoe. I give him a hard time saying things like, if you played more video games these controls would be easier to understand. As you get more comfortable with the controls on these things you start not thinking about which joystick makes the scoop curl up you just think and watch and it works. It's fun to see and experience.

Things about things

2010-08-09T20:11:00.000-04:00

Today is Monday, it is evening. Our kitty "Maizey" is sprawled out on the floor. My thoughts are shallow and filled with ideas unrealized. My eyes are getting heavy and my toes feel funny. I hear bugs singing an amazing chorus outside our door. I thought bought recording a song that used the songs of a mourning dove. I heard a few the other day and they were both singing in different pitches and I thought it would be cool.

We hope to have proof that we are parents within two or three weeks. I'm still holding out for names like "Franky" (Susan hates it) and Susan jr.
We will see you around.

come on everybody.

2010-07-16T09:17:00.000-04:00

in the morning sometimes I have a fog over my eyes and brain. So much fog that I sleep through my make and drink coffee period of my morning. Today is nice... it's 9:17am and I am just finishing my first cup of coffee.. this is nice.. I should work from home... ya that would rule... Brian

as the weeks roll bye

2010-07-11T22:33:00.000-04:00

hey this shot is from the fourth of July at the club with Susan's parents. it was a good time, Cara was there too... It's getting kind of close to baby being born and this house feels uncomplete. Her room is miles from being a baby's room and I don't know the first thing about baby upkeep and maintenance. I guess we have enough user manuals around that I probably could wing it if it came down to it. It is weird to me how close this new life is to being here and yet how far away it feels. People seem to have a whole lot they think about every aspect of having a kid. Where did all these opinions sprout from, the all sound crazy when put together.

Vent

recover

vent some more

recover again

hey.. back now... anyway they say that life begins again with kids, I can see that, and I look forward to walking this little one to the coffee table/ edge of the yard/ down the street/ to her college dorm/ down the isle and anywhere else she thinks I should be walking with her. time is odd, I am out of time for tonight, I feel odd, people oddly stare at me sometimes, at times odds are better then evens. peace. don't hurt your brain thinking that I had some deep and meaningful thing to say here. cause it will hurt your brain, and then I'll have to let you down later with my complete inability to be deep at all...

take care... remember that

shucks, what?
oh bye...

tried the true

2010-06-25T22:58:00.000-04:00

I wander, not so by physical travel but absent travel of thought. You know when you are driving in your car to go somewhere and you see a cloud that reminds you of a day you had long ago. When the mind pretends to know that it's driving and doing things that could get you killed, and is actually floating with previously mentioned cloud. The spooky part is coming out of the fog or daze or whatever it is to realize that you feel like you had your eyes closed for the last five minutes of driving. Your eyes were open but you are unable to recall anything from the previous miles.

This should scare me

You know, my auto pilot maybe it won't wake me before I hit something or someone... anyway let's hope that never happens... take care... see you next time

reflect

2010-06-05T23:07:00.001-04:00

Sometimes we don't see the things that reflect in us or around us. Sometimes I look into a hole in the ground to see water and leaves with a reflection of the trees behind it, as displayed above. I like that there is a water meter right dab in the middle. Anyway just thinking about reflecting and what people see in others like me and you. odd yet facinating... peace out

Knifes and Forks

2010-06-04T23:38:00.000-04:00

When deciding to eat tough foods like for instance rocks, metal, crocs, or turtle shell salad, one should be prepared to sharpen one's knife a whole bunch. That's all I got for now.

Really?

2010-05-30T22:15:00.000-04:00

Life has been busy these last weeks, that's alright though. I have started a new journal and trying to put a little something in it every day or so. I had forgotten how to be regular with a journal, or at least out of practice. Anyway enjoying Susan playing some hymns and just being at home around the piano. Take care.

It's ok

2010-05-17T22:55:00.000-04:00

My life is pretty well. Things are good here in the south. The weather can't decide what's going on. Our kitty is confused by Susan's move the furniture game this week. Classes for our baby things. All is good. Kitty sits on my lap, wifey sits by my side.

Thursday.

2010-04-01T23:20:00.000-04:00

I have started to realize out of control this life is and can be I get to the point where all there is left to do is laugh. I mean after the spell of tossing stuff down and around. Giving up can be a freeing moment. Anyway see you

Odd vs. even

2010-03-20T10:43:00.000-04:00

If Even Stephen and Odd Toad had a kid what would it's name be? I know right Frank... totally that's what I thought.. Glad that we got that one cleared up. I took this picture cause sometimes I like seeing stuff that's been formed into metal, like numbers and whatnot. I think this is from one of our forktrucks that we have at Ben Parker company. Anyway I feel a little sick right at the moment. I don't know if it's the flu but it seems to be going around everywhere. I hope Susan avoids it... and I say bye for now... I gotta let Sam-bow the kitty in and then go home. I don't think I have the energy to do much more then that.. Super excited about seeing all the sibs, yes even Jill the adopted sib.. It's just a few weeks now.. I hope you are well... bye

Slacterday morning....

2010-03-06T10:06:00.000-05:00

people say I have baby on the brain, I say they are right, here is our baby's brain, it was really amazing to see inside the skull, it's becoming more and more real and we are super excited to be on this journey. I was lucky enough to spend what seemed like an hour watching our mid-wife looking to see what gender our little one is. I don't know why that it was so amazing but it was, just watching it move and see the heart beat again, we hear it too... just so cool... anyway this is going to be a wild ride, but we are looking forward to it whole heartedly.... seeeeeeeeee you later... b.

it's tricky

2010-02-17T06:41:00.000-05:00

the day is just begining and I can hear my coffee maker growling to let me know it's almost done with the black gold. I am getting close to getting in a green metal capsule and being transported to a place along with many other people who I know because they show up at the same place usually. And we'll hang out for 8 or nine hours. Then I'll get back in that same green metal capsule and be transported back to here, where me and this other amazing lady call home.

coffee

ah

so good and yet so good

anyway hope you are well.. I'll be starting to get photo's up on this thing again because they fixed my camera and now it's happy and doesn't have spots in all my photo's.... hip hip hoooooooooray.....

i don't care who you are - laughing is where it's at... don't believe the others, they've been sent to destroy all that is good and thus laughter must die, stick with the clean jokes, but laughter is truly healing for the soul....

Handy

2010-02-09T17:08:00.000-05:00

As this day ties up the few remaining loose ends my life is all about reflection. Am I living a full life, is there a better place to be besides on the couch? Anyway life keeps leaping forward and I never really know how I fit in.

2009-12-02T23:40:00.002-05:00

We don't notice how small things are until something big is next to it. Jude is amazing, and small. I still am in shock how cute the little man is, he is pretty helpless, and a happy baby, he has two really amazing parents. I loved seeing Tim and Jill as they learn more about little Jude and learn more about being his parents, it's awesome.

some trouble is just needed to be alive.

2009-11-22T14:30:00.002-05:00

As the title said, trouble is part of life. and life is living and living is what I am all about. Being sick is the anti living, I feel sick sometimes, sick of my attitude, sick of my situation, sick of my not pursuing life.

right, what is the right? Wrong seems everywhere and hidding in everything.

2009-11-19T06:35:00.002-05:00

As my cranky body wakes and my lips anticipate the first drops of coffee to help slide into this Thursday morning the sun is showing signs of wanting to return to this side of the earth. My feet are cool, and the heat just turned on, there is a roar of cars, trucks, taxi's, men in suits they don't like going to places they like less. I'm sure some of those vehicles carry people who are excited about today, that would be ideal. I wanna enjoy my days sometimes it just gets going way to fast.
So today I'm hoping that it will be a good solid work day, with constant things to fix, or cleaning the cage, and that I wont feel rushed beyond reason. I figure that's a good goal, some middle ground, you know busy enough to not look for direction every two minutes but not so busy that you forget to go home when it's time. Anyway just some random thoughts on this Thursday, my coffee is done and it's getting close to the jeeps blast off into the traffic atmosphere only to re-enter the earth's surface at work.

hope it's a great day, and that you learn something you that makes you chuckle, or something that helps you set worry off and just get to what matters. peace.
Brian

2009-09-28T18:30:00.002-04:00

This is a picture of my friend Paul. His cub at our flying field. This guy can fly that cub like nobodies business. I have had allot of fun hanging out with Paul and he's let me fly his cub (that he recieved as a wedding gift, yikes, don't wanna crash that one) and it's helped me as I wait for my plane that I'm building to come together. Anyway just wanted to show off Paul, he's cool, I met him through a mutual friend, sure glad for that. Anyway see you at the field.

the new Whitacre finally arrives.

2009-09-24T09:24:00.002-04:00

As word reaches my ears about Tim and Jill's new baby I am tossed into a flurry of thoughts. Things like how great the two will be as parents, I know they aren't perfect but I'm still really excited to see this new adventure as experienced by the incredible duo.... now it's a trio.... cool... super excited. can't wait to meet the fella. Here's to Tim and Jill,

hooray baby
booo long hospital stays
Brian

Eric Parker Band live at Rythem and Brews

2009-08-03T13:28:00.002-04:00

Let me tell you straight up that it was a great set, cool songs, and Matt Twitty, Eric's lead guitarist shredded like someone making a dozen three cheese pizza's. If you didn't catch the show, just know that something amazing happened and I was there, so you can remind me cause I forget things like that... Thanks...

I know what I know, if you know what I mean

2009-07-25T09:56:00.003-04:00

Susan and I went to Big Sur this last weekend to be with friends and family from California. Boy was it great to hang out and roast marshmellows, and just be there. This year we missed people pretty bad... I think that not having Stacy and Jina and Julie there somehow altered life's projected course and entered another plane of Big Sur. I don't know about the rest of our site but as for me, I stood by only our fire, maybe somehow grieving over souls being unable to be there with us. Everytime I would go to get something inside the tent my brain would say, you'd better knock, Julie's probably in there. Why Julie -NO CLUE... maybe she's in a secret society that meets in tents and so when she comes to big slur she just feels more secure in a tent and so finds any excuse to be in one.
I don't know why Big Sur felt the way it did, I really enjoyed it but I do best not to compare it to any other big sur trip. Tim and I went up the Gorge and beyond on like Friday or Saturday. We had fun, well I think we did, I know I did. Anyway if you have been to the large sur this year you may have noticed that the lack of rainfall has done some major stuff to the stream, plus all the loose sediment from the mass killing of vegetation the fire did last year or was it two years ago..? anyway...
I just wanted to say something. Susan is not here at the moment, she's learning how to teach, or refreshing her skills at teaching violin in New York. I'll be holding the fort down all this week. Your calls are welcome and feel free to drop in if you know where the new place is and happen have accidently sucked into the Hamilton Place Black Hole of consumerism which I frequently do. Come and we'll find you a chair and then try to find a place for the stuff that happens to be in the chair and then let you sit down awhile... take care...
Brian aka exceptionboy... the one who did everything mom said not to and is still here to tell the story about it.

2009-07-14T06:44:00.002-04:00

Sometimes I like the way things look different when you see them from farther away, we call it perspective. I like the way harsh textures don't seem as mean and rigid. I like that things like rocks that I can't climb turn into the most spectacular view. I like that point of view can change this for me. Here's to thinking with one eye open.

the thing about things.

2009-07-09T21:46:00.002-04:00

I am smaller in my mind then I find my body to being. I have been working allot this last while, it's wearing me thin... I hope that after California's adventure that Susan and I will get the chance to settle a little bit. I feel out of place at times. It isn't about anything but change. I hope you are well. Brian

A while back, I don't know how long, some friends and I went up to a field and flew models. Matt (not shown) and I were the only two trouble free pilots, there were problems with some of the planes. I am pretty sure we all had fun.. We learned things which by now we've forgotten. Paul the guy in the middle joined a flying club really close to my house so I might join it too... BTW it's me on the left with my CADET 40, it was her maiden voyage, she did great, even with a prop that wasn't pulling enough... good job ol' gal.... ten four, may your flights be windless and your landing fields free from horse or cow or any sort of droppings.

a rose

2009-03-28T08:10:00.002-04:00

As it has become saturday and the rain is pretending to be upon us I decided to hang out with the mac mini. I was organizing photo's and realized that I hadn't written on my blog in a little while, so I thought I would change that. Anyway this is a rose that was at church. It's not as beautiful as the actual rose but it's a fair knock off.
And what else
The overcast days and cool weather reminds me of Seattle. I don't know why, but it's nice, I should probably go get Susan up so we can goto this Radio Controlled Airplane flea market, it's a once a year event and it cost two bucks to get in.. anyway hope you are well... take care.. I'll take pictures and post them of anything interesting that I have acquired at this thing... Brian

late or never

2009-03-22T19:33:00.004-04:00

It's late Sunday well for the day side of Sunday. My day has been sleep, and wondering if I actually have pollen problems. It was a nice sleep, I slobbered allot on my pillow, like I had to turn over my pillow at one point cause it woke me up. Anyway life is good, closing out the 34th year it has been pretty good... no complaints

right. rite, write.

2009-03-16T21:15:00.003-04:00

Greens and blues are nice, music soars through the empty house, kitty and I here. Kitty is acting a bit odd. anyway I guess I'll go.. hope you are well... take care

Pollo

2009-03-12T22:31:00.003-04:00

I am tired, not exhausted, but tired. I should be resting/sleeping at the moment. I am almost ready for that. I quit spanish tonight, I still want to learn it, but not in school. I didn't really mesh well with the teacher. And that helped me to fail and then I decided that it wasn't worth the effort to spend all those hours fixing my grade to a pass when I don't even need the class. yippeeee. failing classes we don't even need to take that sounds fun, sign me up. Anyway life is a little odd at the moment but I am hoping that this change will help the world stop spinning so fast, it's crazy... anyway work is good. Eric needs to do some shows, it will come. man is that going to rock... anyway take care... Brian

Blah and that la de da.

2009-02-21T18:32:00.005-05:00

If today were a book it would be long and have no point and maybe even be sick. Themes would be sitting around, sleeping and eating. And it would all be one huge sentence long. but today isn't a book.
That's why I want to see another sunrise, and sunset. I have this thought everyday on the way to work. I always think, some morning I should really leave a little early and drive to a few spots on the way and shoot a million pictures. I think that the sun rises pretty close to the trip to work.. These days it's been amazing scenery from here to work.. Chattanooga at the break of day.. I also thought that if Susan and I owned a house close to downtown I could set up a tripod and take time lapse pictures of each sunrise over the water... anyway just thought I would share.... peace...

2009-02-11T19:27:00.003-05:00

Sometimes printed signs have all the right words. It's truly great when you happen to see one that describes exactly how you feel. Today I found this one, and it fit so right.... Anyway I hope you are well and that if you see me you actually go ahead and knock me out.. thanks in advance. boy where does the time go.. it's already Feb. of 09... what is the deal... take care...

Down town

2009-02-04T22:36:00.002-05:00

sometimes blue is so cool. and I mean cold too. This winter has been a roller coaster of heat and chill. This is a cold one, evening in the air, and cold too.. I think this night our water froze. It's okay now, I think our pipes held out okay... This is Chattanooga downtown, I loved how blue the sky was, this shot doesn't capture how cool it really was... anyway just so you know

Grandparental

2009-01-25T22:13:00.002-05:00

sometime I think about what it means to have a grandparent. I think of one's I had that I miss and look at photo's of kids (Liam Watt's) that have amazing Grandparents and just am in awe.

children change everything they say, it's a running joke between all adults. Just tonight there was a couple who jokingly asked me and Susan to borrow their kids for a month. we said yes, and if it came to it I think we mean it. Kids are an amazing gift, full of life and pain and learning. I feel lucky to be able to be around the Hawkins as they enjoy being grandparents... who know's someday maybe we'll put a notch in that belt. for now we will live in the relishing of faces so expressive and alive.

All year Long

2009-01-10T20:54:00.004-05:00

Though this year has just started, it feels a bit tired. I think about why sometimes and then I get tired, usually then I fall asleep and snore loudly ( ask Susan she can testify to this ) Am I such a creature of habit that it will always be this way or is change in the air, in the water we drink, in the high fructose corn syrup that we bow too. Anyway, today was a good day, Autumn Cone is now a Chattanoogan and so we showed her around a bit and got to see where she's living, great house. Anyway it's really cool seeing her and catching up, though I fell asleep while Susan and her were looking up houses for sale around where Autumn lives. So yeah some snore action, all and all a good day... hope yours was too... take care... bye

more of North Carolina

2009-01-03T01:13:00.004-05:00

With our adventures into North Carolina over New Years, I took many pictures. This one is of Papa Steve's Dashboard at night.. I love it... it seems alive. I like the cool shapes and colors engulfed by black... anyway thought I would share it. so there it is....

2009-01-01T22:09:00.002-05:00

today is the first of January, 2009.

Susan and I enjoyed having time in North Carolina (Charlotte) meeting and hanging out with Papa Steve's side of the family. It was fun, I had a good time... glad to be home and maisey the cat is happy we are home too... I'll be getting some photo's up soon... hold on tight.. some are good....

Merry Christmas / thoughts on PIctures

My thoughts on photo's as we enter a day that tends to fill our flash cards and drives with hundreds on images taken around the house and tree. I think it's because family is together and that means trying to capture time.
If the people are waiting for a picture to be taken, it's not letting them be natural, which I think is cutting the photograph short. I love it when I used to grab a image using my Nikromatt, Lumix or any other camera I used and it had people not posing. I feel like those photo's have more life and they tend to feel more about what was going on instead of who showed up (which is still important, just overused I think)
I think people don't know what to do when they are faced with a camera, they understand that how they look in that moment is going to be recorded and kept as a record... Usually when I am aware of this fact I try to take pictures that don't make people look to bad, sometimes those are funny but they usually get tossed...

Shoot many pictures and delete later... give it some time... anyway just some thoughts... hope you have a very merry Christmas and that Christ being born means the world to you as it does me...

Sometimes I am grumpy, cranky pants, today I could have stayed cranky. Low on sleep and feeling like Friday should already be here and yet Christmas should definitely be more then a few weeks away no less 9 days... Anyway I just thought I would write some stuff cause I miss people around now. Like my grandma, she was awesome I think about her sometimes. I think about family that I don't feel connected to. Some by distance, some by circumstance, some from choices of mine or others. I wonder about my life and the life I once thought I would be living. Not that I do that a whole lot... I do think however that I would have made sure to take language in High School. That is one slip through the crack that is still being a pain.. I have to take two semesters of foreign language to get my GRAPHIC ARTS degree... I also have to take remedial Algebra, so yes my almost flunking from High School is showing it's colors even now, years later...
I am happy though. I have an amazing wife, Susan, she takes me one day at a time, which I feel is the best way to handle me. I am so glad she's on this adventure. She makes it fun when she's around.... anyway I'll write more later... too da looooo Brian

I hope to continue in this field and maybe become a graphic designer, or use it in my art... anyway I hope you enjoyed it... peace

Sometimes life is a little strange to me. I think now is one of those times. I am full of food and life is good. I wonder what lays ahead and I worry about things of old. All these thoughts rumbling through this brain. Anyway seeing Linda was really great, I think her car blew up yesterday back in california, so that's not good... anyway I do hope that gets worked on and out Wind... I guess this is just hello then... yep...

Bead Necklaces

Susan and I are hanging with Jules, Wind, Jin and Gabe.
We are over at Gabe's parents house and making bead necklaces and things like that. I finished so I decided to play on this little computer that's playing the shins right now, which makes me think of Tim and Jill. They are in NeW ZeAlAnD and we miss them....

Susan is ready to sleep, I am getting there, Homework due Tuesday almost half way done. Life is good. I am glad for this life... excited to see Linda and Jewels and Jin and the art of self da fence... anyway take care.. I'll try to keep this thing updated more... pinky swear...

it's been a long time

2008-11-16T18:04:00.003-05:00

I found that I had left blogs to rot in the tangle of the web. I have cut this one out of it's captive state and I think I will be using this one instead of that chattablogs one cause it's easier and I am about easy. Life is good, Linda comes out to Nashville to visit this coming week. We are pumped... anyway just thought I would tell you that I was going to use this blog again...

Monday mornings

this was a nice weekend. Things went well, this is Paul and Rachel and Me and Susan at a wedding we all attended Saturday. I broke our wonderful camera a few minutes after snapping this one. Tragic I know but I think the camera realized that we aren't going out to big sur and so it was utterly through with the abuse I put it through day in and day out. Anyway, hope your week is swell and that people appreciate what you bring to the table... take care... Brian

As the summer heats up

2008-07-11T23:25:00.002-04:00

The days get warm and melt all the things that should matter. My tongue gets coarse and starts slipping and I end up saying things that aren't nice or true. I blame the heat, but I think it is already there the heat just breaks down my defenses. So I just sit here waiting for sleep to catch me and send me past go, and sometimes collecting the two hundred dollars. Enough monopoly... I hope that this summer finds you in complete control of your tongue and mind and heart but I think that for me that's a complete stretch.... til then Brian
