Closed that deal! (in reference to my post from last week)

ANGELS IN THE DUST


Yep, just got a phone call that they're gonna go with us. This film is powerful and an Oscar contender if I ever saw one (which is as far as it will go because Michael Moore has that wrapped up and if he doesn't then Leonardo DiCaprio's new documentary will - I'm so jaded and bitter;^) ).

I know I know, it really sucks living with sunsets like that all summer long. Picture taken down at the beach the other night.

I'm going to make a concise effort to take and post more photos for y'all! starting with these....

Muirenn, Aislinn and Leah on one of our local trails earlier this spring.


When Grandma came to visit last winter. Braving the Alaskan air for a family photo... why didn't we just go inside?


Oh, and me doing my best to embarrass Muirenn in the Japanese gardens!

Another week over, another Friday afternoon. Took the afternoon off to "work from home" and post on my blogg. It's sunny warm and quite lovely today after a few days of unseasonal rain. Work has picked up suddenly this past couple of weeks and I am epxecting a call on a big job this afternoon. In fact it's really hard to type with your fingers crossed.

So I took Muirenn on her first mountain bike trail last weekend and she loved it. She struggles a bit on the up-hill parts, but for the most part she's really strong and very confident. In fact she followed me down a very steep run that would give anyone the heebyjeebee's and loved it so much we had to do it again. Tomorrow we're going to pack the bikes up in Scooby-do (the Subaru) and tackle a 7 miler in the Issaquah Alps.

As work has been so busy, we didn't have the chance to get a band practice together. Next week hopefully. I'm itching to WRAAAAKKKKK!!

Oh yeah, I just went to buy 3 tickets for ARCTIC MONKEYS from a pre-sale link I got from a friend. Lisa and I wanted to take Muirenn to see one of our favourite bands. Check this out; each ticket is $25 making a grand total of $75, when I got to the checkout stage of the online purchase from 'Ticketmaster', the grand total had jumped up to $115.85!!!! 'Ticketbastards' more like! No way in hell am I giving those c*#ts my money. So, I'm going to try and buy tickets from the door tomorrow morning. I mean seriously, why is there no competition out there for these Republicans??? Rant off!

No air conditioning in my office. It's hot, sticky and.... eh, hot?

Summer's started with a second heat wave. Tomorrow's supposed to be 95 degrees which means 100 at least here in downtown. Yuck.

The prior heat wave was last week during our first family camping trip. It didn't get out of the nineties and we were eaten alive by freshly hatched mosquitos! We escaped the mauling and the heat by hopping in the lake every half an hour or so. Lake Kachess is filled by snow and ice run off every spring and it is COLD. Surprisingly everyone wants to go again soon, but next time, we're going to the coast for a constant breeze and no mosquitos!
