I Hate to Ruin the Surprise, but…

I am too excited! When Amy and I moved to California we sold off both of our cars in Tennessee and decided to give public transportation in the city a go. That lasted a week. After that, I bought a $500 motorcycle and soon after, Amy got her scooter. I have been riding a motorcycle daily for almost a year and a half, and Amy has been riding hers for almost a year.

Now, I’m sure your wondering to yourself, “why the hell is he telling us this?”, so here is the answer. We bought a new car. We sold our 2 Hondas that we had owned for almost 5 years (as I mentioned earlier) and when we decided to start looking at new cars, we went straight to the Honda dealers to look.

After riding through blazing hot heat, freezing cold, strong winds and what seemed like 2 straight months of solid rain last winter, I still love my motorcycle… but have welcomed our climate controled CR-V into our life. We are having a few accessories installed as I type, but will be taking photos soon for you all to check out. For the 10 years I had of driving a car in the midwest I didn’t know what a luxury it truely was. That is until we jumped into our new car for the first time and headed out of town this past weekend.

Photos and details coming soon.

Getting Back to Good Music — Alden Rocks

AldenI will keep this one short and to the point. Alden Rocks. On her album, Snapshot, she wrote the music, played the guitar and sings as well. Her sound is sexy and warm and is that “feel good” kind of music that helps you put a bit of faith back in humanity just by listening. This is the album I put on when the stress starts getting to me… it soothes me and makes me smile in an instant.

Check out her music now from the PodShow Player below, and if you like it… go to CD Baby and buy it (or email alden from her site at www.aldenlive.com). You won’t regret it.

Home in Tennessee

The House
This Photo taken by theFerf

Well, these photos do not really do the house justice, but they are a start. These are of our house back in Pegram, TN. Click the photo to see more. We live on around 3 acres of wooded land in a 2 story house that has 3 bedrooms, an office, 2 kitchens (1 eat in), a living room, a family room, 3 bathrooms, a fireplace, a studio for the tshirt company and more. Makes this little condo we live in here in SF seem a bit … inadequate.
