Piano Duet

Lex and Charlotte started piano lessons last October. They had a little recital today. I gotta say, I’m impressed by how much they’ve achieved. Hope you like it.

Good News – Bad News

First the good news.  Last night Lex & I finished building his 1st skateboard.  We actually laminated 7 layers of wood, sanded, painted 2 colors, cut out a graphic for the grip surface, attached trucks, bearings and wheels.

The maiden voyage came at about 8pm last night and I don’t think the board has left his side since.

The bad news: I’m having surgery to repair a classic groin hernia tomorrow.

Lex at Red Sox v Yankees

Lex and I went to the first of a 4-game series Thurs night. Lex’s first night game and first Red Sox game (he learned some new swear words.) We were both really pumped for the evening. Got there very early, in time to watch all of batting practice. Went to the outfield wall to try to catch a ball. Didn’t, altho a ball nearly caught us. Drank soda, ate Cracker Jack, Foot-Long Hot Dogs, Cotton Candy and Lemonade Sherbet. Priceless.

One problem, the Yankees never showed up: 7-0.

Florida Vacation

We’ve been back for a week-plus (hit the ground running on our return) from spring-break vacation to St. Augustine, Disney World & Jacksonville. Two pix here are obvious, the 3rd is from the pool at our friends’ house in Jacksonville.

Christmas Card Hype

Just wanted to post a little retrospective of past NJ Falls’ Xmas cards.  I’ve got a new one coming, and really think y’all will like it, so I wanted to create a little “buzz” for the debut.

I figure I’ll post the new one Xmas Eve, unless the public outcry for a preview becomes overwhelming, in which case I might release the digital version early.
