It is never too late to see Mike on TV in a playoff at Augusta. Just look at other old guys like Tom Watson and Kenny Perry.

I picked my kids up today after work. They had been in Thailand for the last 3 weeks. D was sure tired and fell asleep for a while in the car and then again when we got back home. But somehow after getting some food and ice cream sprinkles in her, she was all excited and watched the new Bratz Fashion Pixiez movie I had picked up. And I actually watched this one too and thought is was pretty darn good compared to all the other Bratz movies.

My son keeps calling me Ed. Arrrgghh! But anyway, he will get back in the routine. One thing I thought funny was one of the first things he asked for was to listen to Pink Floyd Animals on my mp3 player when he went to bed. And that is where he is now - reading and listening to Sheep, Dogs and Pigs. Maybe tomorrow I will introduce him to the Wish You Were Here or the Obscurred by Clouds albums. I may have the boy watch my Dream Theater live at Budokon DVD sometime with me...cranked up...shaking the walls...in awe of incredible musicians.

I suspect that in the coming years his passion for playing ukulele and guitar will be like that as his passion for piano. He asks me occasionally to watch the incredible video of Jake Shimabukuro playing ukulele and he knows that the instrument is not a toy as many percieve. Sadly, we arrive in Kauai 2 days after Jake has his concert there.

We are going blueberry picking tomorrow with X-GF and other kids.

I had lunch again with lady #1, but I just dont have the attraction even though we have good conversation. Lady #2 told me that I was too young and energetic and that she felt much older than me (she is 46 and I am 49) - I think she was being polite. Could be that a lot of the ladies who have grown kids are not wanting to go through that again with a man that has young kids. Oh well, no hurry. I am having fun with the buffet line.
