A Happy Baby

Dallas is over four months now and doing great, sleeping an average of ten to twelve hours a night, gaining weight and generally being a happy baby the majority of the time. I can see how people can be enamored with having a great first baby, then believing that the second (or third or fourth) will turn out the same. Fortunately for us, the Internal Uterual Defense System™ is locked in and online, so Dallas won't be having a new brother or sister for quite awhile. =P

A friend of mine sent me this photo of the group I perform with playing at Christ Church in Fairview this past Sunday. Was a lot of fun to rock out there (yes - you can rock out at church) and look forward to the next time we can perform there.

Horn Porn!

99% of you reading this will not care one bit about this post. More for the horn lovers out there. Visited a friend of mine on Friday who sells horns for a living. He helped broker a deal for a horn I owned about six years ago and foolishly sold it. Whether you think so or not, there is a lot of money sitting in this room.
