Gig photos

Courtesy of my friend Keary Liu. Took a bunch of video but my camera deleted one whole 2 GB memory card when I tried to futz with the format because IPhoto 08 wouldn't upload it. Oh well. I'll get some up soon.

Birthday thanks

Thanks to everyone who sent me birthday wishes. I had a nice day and a great gig. More to come on that soon, including some video. We have a new drummer, 28-y.o. Chinese kid (sure sign of age to call someone nearly 30 a kid) and it sounded good…

Catching Up Photos: Beach Haven

We didn't really plan it this way but it was a good move to end the hectic, 2,200-mile trip with our most relaxing week, at Beach Haven, NJ. We rented a big ol' 8-br house around the corner from my brother and his family's place and a block…

Good Al Gore story

Catching Up Photos: Michigan

My in laws have a Boston whaler on the Saginaw River, a few miles from Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron. Somehow, we never go on it. We finally did, for the first time in about 9 years. It was a lot of fun. Jacob particularly loved it.

Eli pics by George Lange

Hey, it's nice to have friends who are great professional photographers. This is eli, post Joshua's bar mitzvah. I love how hungover he looks, from the chocolate to the tired eyes. Thanks, George.

Back in the Saddle Again

We are back and getting up to speed. It is almost 11 am now and I feel like I've been up for a day.. because I basically have been. Jacob woke up at midnight, Eli at about 3 am, Anna at 3:30. All three are at school now. We'll see how that goes.…

Before we entered the Vietnam Veteran’s memorial, I read the kids the riot act, explained to them what it was, said it was like visiting a church or synagogue, or graveyard and that they had to be quiet an respectful. We walked in and they…
