Weekend Update

My wife and I went out to Pittsburgh Friday for our friends Kim and Jim's wedding. They tied the knot at Phipps Conservatory in an outdoor ceremony; the weather cooperated magnificently. The reception was in the Grand Foyer of the Carnegie Music Hall; what a splendid place that is! We had a great time.

Ryan stayed at home with my parents for the weekend and they had fun together. My sister and brother-in-law were also in town for part of the weekend, and we had an early birthday party last night for Ryan, who turns 4 next weekend. The favorite gift so far appears to be his new drumset, which will stay in the basement. ;)

Also, Don invited me to get a Gmail account, which I've done. I'll start playing with it this week. Thanks Dude!

And in other news, my buddy Phil (who you may know from such "lurker" names as "MASDORDY" and "Dr. N") and his wife Jen are the happy parents of a baby girl born on May 26th whom they've named Keira Lynn. Congratulations, guys!

Trying to turn him into the next Mike Portnoy already, huh?

Congrats to Phil and Jen!

About the drums: it was getting to the point where he was grabbing plastic bowls and spoons and pounding on them. You should have seen his eyes light up when he opened up the drumkit!

His big gift for next weekend is a kitchen set, which is also help get him away from borrowing "real" kitchen stuff to play cook.

Cool, my buddies son is like 13 and he is taking drum lessons now. That is a cool hobby, one I wish as a youth I had been more interested in. Now, you can teach him to keep beat while you strum the guitar. Halfway there to the Alex Harden Experience. :)
