The wife and the son , relaxing at diner .

I love my life !

We took Vaughn to Disneyland for the first time and he loved it . . . looks like Vaughn has a new expensive hobby !

Well the '56 is sold , and in a few weeks will be on it's way to Germany . It was a good bike , but the next one will be . . . different .

Well I'm selling my '56

here are all the details . . .

If you have to have it or know someone looking for a bike that is a good hard rider , let me know .

In staying with the theme of great music throughout the decades . . . I present The Muffs . . . everyone try and love them as much as you can . they're amazing and Kim is a goddess . I've seen this band more times than I can count and every show was a home run

I just watched the Joy Division documentary and I have to say it was amazing . I knew as a kid how important this band was and I sort of grew up listening to their music as a soundtrack to my life along with lots of other shit . Anyhow as it turns out they not only made an important mark in my life personally but also totally changed the face of music as we know it . Brought musical street cred to Manchester in a way no one could have ever expected , and continues to go on and effect people in ways that we might never really fully understand .

If you like J/D or even if you just like documentaries about live music and bands , watch this one . It's a fucking mountain .

7 months of good times , hard times and miles of smiles . . .
