Ice, Ice, Ice














These are not pictures of our house but give a great visual of the damage that is all around us. Try to imagaine the huge cracking noise as the trees break and the boom as they hit the ground or house or whatever.

Pretend it's November 19, 2007

I seriously wanted to post a clip of Archie and I singing "Endless Love" (which we have casually been practicing for the last year) as a Tribute to Madre y Padre's big 25th. However, it didn't quite happen. Lamentable for all, I know. However, I have also been meaning to put together a list of a grand events, over the last 25 years. As you can see there are some major gaps, so help me fill in the blanks and make corrections. Post a comment and I'll add it to the timeline.
