getting too old for this

Heartbreaker guitarist Mike Campbell said, "My take on it is it can be whatever you want it to be. A lot of people think it's a drug reference, and if that's what you want to think, it very well could be, but it could also just be a goodbye love song.

Chicago and Kansas City things. I'll take both

This was fun

It's officially summer. Life is in fast forward but it feels great. Beach days, bike rides, stoop hangs, dog walks, sleeping in and still having a good amount of the day to have fun, non stop things to do, being amazingly tired but always ready to hang out some more. It's been great so far and it's only been a week, so I guess things can only get better from here? Here's to hoping.

I am tired. I feel like I've been tired for about a month now. Going and going without much sleep means drinking Mountain Dew and Coke in one day and instead of getting energized you get anxious. I don't even drink pop - what was I thinking! Anyhoo, last night I had a Jo Jo Baby sighting and he was dressed up like one of the characters from Monsters Inc. It was awesome.

Zoe got a new bed. She loves to nap.

This is a blog

I've been a bit absent minded for a while now. Life in it's poorest form has been going on, so naturally things that I would like to be doing have been set aside. Now with spring here and various other sorts of freedoms I am getting back to life (back to reality?...thanks Soul II Soul). In the past month or so I've done a few firsts. Over Easter I drove back to Kansas City with Zoe for the first time on my own - Iowa is a bleak and boring land but satellite radio is a life saver. Went to Miami for the first time for Diana's bachelorette party. This first was well worth the humidity and the attempted loss of my soul do to a little too much fun - apparently there is such a thing. Also Zoey and I have taken on going to the dog park, which I have been frightened of for months. Good thing the girl is a lover and not a fighter and also that she cares more about the people in the park playing with a soccer ball than the other dogs there.

I know that I always do this but, whatever, it is what it is - I am going to attempt to blog more. I've been having a hard time rationalizing taking time out to blog. I've said from the beginning that this is a forum for me to just let people into my daily life. Nothing too specific and nothing especially emotional, just something to have fun with. I will in the future divulge about my private life a bit more, but this isn't a pity party nor a narcissistic endeavor - just a blog about me (ha!). Also, I sense some adventuring coming up that needs to be shared so here it will go.
