Konnichiwa!

How are you all doing? Well, I'm doing great! It's Friday and I'm getting out of town again. Last weekend was definitely a success as far as camping is concerned. We went out to Payson, which is North East of Phoenix, for you non-locals. It got a little dark, so we had to camp it out in a pay site, which is not bad, but I guess is also not 'real' camping, or 'quasi-camping, as my better half would put it. Something about having toilets and running water didn't make it seem like 100% camping. Both Abbey, the golden mutt, and the Land Rover did a good job and seemed right at home camping.

The day after, thanks to some locals, we found our way to a place where we could do real camping!!! It was by a creek, a little bit away from town, but due to fire restrictions we decided not to stay. Camping without fire is sucky, but at least Abbs got to play in the water a little. We will be back there, oh yes!! Hopefully within the month.

Ladies and Gentlemen, what's up?

I've had a lot going on these days. I think it can be said that it's official, Shari and I are having another baby. She would probably say that I am not having anything but it is my fault.  So, whichever works for you! Estimated time of arrival will be around thanksgiving. Early Christmas present, you say? Yes, I think so. I hope I can start to get some sleep by new years. I'm tired just thinking of all the sleep we will lose. I should start to practice power-napping.

I have been super swamped at work, but I've been working on new songs and on my comic book story and artwork. What? You didn't know I was a super-nerd? I will post more about this later. I posted up lyrics for some of the new songs. I'll post some links:

Are You Here With Me

Nadine

Shadow

More songs to come later.

What else? Let's see...got a new vehicle. A '94 Land Rover Discovery (Disco for short). My first 4wd vehicle! Needs a bit of work and parts are expensive! On the plus side, now I have something to cart two kids around and musical equipment all at the tune of 15mpg. I think it will also come in handy when I have to tow my 240sx, which I'm sure has a blown headgasket. Trying to get a turbo engine for it now. *fingers crossed*

Haven't seen a ton of movies lately. Mostly just been watching DVDs at home as time permits. Last movie I saw at the theater was Run Fatboy Run, which was great. Then again, I'm a big Shaun of the Dead fan so I may be biased. Really looking forward to Iron Man. See? More of the nerd showing there!

This weekend, Shari and I will be going camping for her birthday. Drop us a note if you want to come join us! Should be great fun.
