Hiatus

Our 30 day music rundown will be on hiatus until we can respectfully and lovingly say goodbye to our good friend Angelique, who left us on June 24th.

We love you, Angelique.  You were a beautiful person and we will miss you so much.

Goodbye Car. Hello Car. (Now with a Picture)

In the past two days, Chelsey and I have miraculously turned a red 1997 Plymouth Breeze into a gold 2004 Honda CR-V.  That's right.  We now own a gold car.  I can't wait to put a fleur de lis in the window. 

I would now like to publicly recognize the Breeze for all its years of service.  You've been a good car, and despite your sissy name, you were very tough.  You kept my wife safe on many trips to Kearney, and you never failed to start, no matter how cold it got.  You also had a gigantic windshield.  Just massive. 

I asked Chelsey if she had a name for you, and she said she sometimes called you Old Bessy.  That's a good name for a car, and you earned it.  We will miss you Bessy.  And I feel really dumb for not thinking until right now that you had the same name as my favorite team's quarterback.
