Hey there!

I know. It's been awhile. Thanks for all the emails asking where I was or if everything was okay, if I had been hit by a truck, etc...

I've just been super-busy, and when you add in the kids and their somewhat desperate need for "love" -- it makes it tough to be on here as much as I'd like.

I'm trying to think of anything fun that's gone on while I was missing...

In the grand tradition of the little one eating ear medicine, vaseline and the tub of sprinkles, I found him on his brother's bed quietly and methodically powering through a big basket of supermarket mushrooms. They were not cleaned. Apparently that's how he likes them.

I also had a nice birthday which included going to see Guster at the Wiltern theater. I emailed Brian a few hours before the show explaining that it was my birthday and that it would be nice if before whatever the 3rd song they were going to play -- he would think to himself: "This is for Steve!" I had no idea if he'd even get the email in time, let alone oblige.

We saw him after the show and he gave me a happy birthday hug and said "3rd song! What You Wish For! I thought to myself: "This is for STEVE!!!"

So that was nice of him to indulge my stupid request.

I will do my best to be back on here soon. Until then, may your mushroom baskets be full and untouched by 3-year-olds.
