We're the same age again!

Nature's full of temporary oddities.  For example, the orbit of Pluto (which is still a planet dangit!) brings it inside the orbit of Neptune for a 20-year period every 248 years.  This temporarily leaves Neptune as the planet farthest from the sun.  Closer to home, every summer for a 2-month period, Melissa can honestly say her age is one year less than her husband.  That ends today!

Steppin' out

Our family enjoys the outdoors.  How we enjoy the outdoors is a question of taste.  Melissa and Taeg' enjoy being in the outdoors -- camping under the stars, hiking a woodland trail, experiencing the sensation of small insects flying around their faces.  Karst' and I, on the other hand, enjoy observing the outdoors from the air conditioned comfort of the indoors.  Like the female-type people in our family, we are inspired by mountain vistas and Pacific sunsets.  We just believe the beauty of creation goes best with a big bowl of ice cream we just got from the freezer.

Crowded House 101

This post is primarily intended to get my wife up to speed on the music of Crowded House -- since she's graciously agreed to accompany me to their concert later this month.  She has no idea who they are.

O.L.D.

I have been feeling old lately.

This does not make me feel any younger.
