Mike was here this last weekend:

Bourbon Street in New Orleans. He reported that he did not enjoy being on this street. Mostly because of the other people who were also on the street. But here's why Mike rocks:

His coworkers took him to a dueling piano bar, "Howl at the Moon," where one of those coworkers paid the owner 20 dollars to give Mike some piano time. Watch his little fingers fly as he wows everyone with . . .Mario?

Dearth of Posts

Dear Family,

Have you noticed that we haven't had a post for a while? We "let the summer season begin," but we forgot about the commencement of three other seasons. This is because mom is up to her eyebrows in life. So I figured out how to add our family members as blog posters. So post. Let's make this a fun blog again, filled with love and laughter and stories. We can do it!
