Dutch & LuLu

Besides the baby boy moving in Diane’s belly (more on that next), the other thing that has really moved me lately, was the inauguration of Barak Obama as our 44th President. I don’t mean all the pomp & circumstance, the ceromonies, or the balls, but the actual fact that this man is now our representative in the White House. He ran on a platform of “Hope & Change”, and while I’m feeling a bit naive actually believing political rhetoric, I really do feel like President Obama has the country’s best interests at heart. I am truely hopeful that things are already changing for the better. What a great time to have and raise a child!

Saturn Street Strummers at Sea Turtle Inc.

Ok. I know I’ve left it a bit long, but I thought I’d do one or two catchup posts, and then say that I’m back on track. The Holidays were fantastic this year! Diane and I haven’t had the chance to celebrate, just the two of us, since we were first married. And this was our last chance, since next year we’ll be three of us!

We learned lots of Christmas carols on our ukes, and even played some of them for people at Sea Turtle Inc’s Christmas mixer. Thanks for the nog! We played on the steps of the new city hall, too, and welcomed Santa to town. Here we are at Sea Turtle, with the sunset in the background. Sorry, it’s blurry, but it really captured the moment.  Thanks to Amazin’ Walter for the photo.
