    i think, therefore i chew...

    I think I am going to change the name of mine to Exterminator. Same age as yours and sounds like they could be sisters in the chewing department. I hate to be the bearer of sad news but I think they will get out of the chewing stage in about six years. Seriously though, one thing that causes...

    Stage Door Canteen / Do ya still do cool stuff with your dad?

    Although I lost my Dad in 96 and my Mom and oldest Brother in 99, there is hardly a day goes by that I don't do fun things with all three of them. Though it is through the window of my mind that I do these fun things with them each day it still seems so real. The beautiful part is that while I...

My problem is short stubby fingers and thumb. I am having the dickens making my thumb reach for enough to catch the top string but I'm not...

    Sometimes . . . I'm an idiot

    If a small quarter inch cut is all you got then it sure isn't the latter.

    Sometimes . . . I'm an idiot

    Shiner he said Drago not DRAIN-O so be careful what you get. But then on the other hand it might not hurt to flush your pipes. There are two things you should never pull toward you.....one is a razor sharp knife......

We usually have from five to ten stray housecats around our place but I haven't seen one since Christmas when my wife gave me a fiddle. I very seldom see anyone play a fiddle and sing at the same time so I think my wife was trying...

    CB's second song.

    From the first day I met you and Mark at Pearl ,a few years ago, I knew that you two were Special people. Since then, everytime we get a chance to meet it only confirms my first impression. Watching the two of you struggle along the way while learning music and seeing the determination set in...
