As you may know Sam and I are traveling from Seattle down to San Diego and back up to San Jose again. Along the way we’ll be stopping in Portland, Redding, San Jose, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. We’ll be going to the Experience Music Project, a Neko Case concert, Rasputin Records, San Diego & Hollywood Hard Rock Cafes as well as anything else we damn well please. Here is a map (along with dates) of our tour.

Christina took this picture with her cell. We were at the Hibiscus for brunch. I love this picture. Thanks Christina!

First off, happy Mother’s Day to all. We happen to have the best two mother’s in the world. What are the odds that we get the two that were tied for first!

There it is so far. As you can see I’m all over the place and pretty busy. It’s going to be so much fun.

…that no one reads this much any more. I would like it very much if others would write in their blogs.

I’ll elaborate further when I get my computer back but:

The ship was fun
I’ve read a few good books
