I just finished reading a book about an adventurer

He went from the top of the Amazon to the bottom. He said that raising a daughter is scarier. I really want to go canoing for a while. I think Jess does too.



We are Planning a fab wedding and the response list has been amazingly over-whelming. I hope I did not leave anything out. I have resigned myself to one fact though, I am going to have a freaking good time.

Privately I think it is going to even more fun than a carnival. I also think fried dough sucks but don't tell Jess or she won't share hers with me next year.
I have a snazzy suit to wear and we have made a killer menu. The location could not be better and there are plenty of trash bags if it rains. What is better yet I am marrying the best mother and girlfriend ever. We are really excited.

Ths is my mother and mother in laws' birthday.

Happy birthday to you both. we appreciate you since without you not only could we not have enjoyed entry into this world but we could not have experienced our own child. He is lucky too for having such wonderful grand mothers who so clearly adore him. You both bring such different things to the table as grand mothers Eliot will benifit as your children have from the input you have over his young life and many years to come.
I hope this year brings you both good health and wonderful surprises. Mom I am sure you feel extra lucky to be gaining amazing daughters in law in Trish and Jess. Pat you better feel lucky to be getting a son in law like me who is willing to operate (sometimes successfully) your grill, lift heavy objects up and down your stairs, and help you steal rocks from the beach. Jess, Eliot, Dexter, and I love you both and hope that you did not try to light the proper number of candles this evening, what with global warming and all.

Summer of Pan

I have been getting loads of stuff done on my days off. Tonight the project is to work on some of the prints that are supposed to be shown at Zarra's in August, finish writing the addresses on the cards, and do a bunch of tests for Jess. It should be fun...
Political events are picking up momentum. Tonight Tina Smith is having a barby at Chicks and I may attend depending on the status of the projects in an hour or so.
We are so lucky to live in maine. Every day as of late is more beautiful than the last. Drinking them in is essential to get one through the winter.
