Bob Dylan


I finally got around to watching the Dylan doc I recorded from PBS (American Masters: Bob Dylan: No Direction Home) It turned out that I had recorded the second half. If I had known there were two parts I would have recorded both. Anyway, I was blown away by the story.

I was talking to my friend Jon about it recently and he said for him the new stuff doesn't measure up. It's not that it's bad, it just isn't as good. I was washing dishes at the coop the other day and looking through the heaps of CDs for something to listen to while I was closing; I came across Modern Times and
Bringing It All Back Home. He was right: it was no contest.

More baby pictures

Here's another picture from our visit with Uncle Henry.
Eleanor is showing off her front teeth, which have the same gap her aunt and grandmother had.

Trip photos





















We took a trip to Missouri to visit family and friends. Eleanor figured she wouldn't be in Kansas City again soon, so she helped herself to a lamb rib from her mom's plate.
Atticus was enjoying his visit with his 99 year-old uncle Henry almost as much as Henry was.

It's spring, when a young man's fancy turns to...





Well, how would I know? I'm not young anymore, although I hope to be again soon.
Also, it's been raining, snowing and cold all April.

Anyhow, my fancy turns to baseball. Though disappointed that Daisuke Matsuzaka's Fenway Park debut didn't go as I would have wanted, it's a magical time of year. Hearing baseball on the radio (soon to be my only option as my DirecTV is about to be shut off) while doing yard work is some kind of heaven.
Plus I'm all excited about actually playing baseball instead of just watching it. The Rowe Center is having "Baseball & the World: A Weekend with Bill Lee" Father's Day weekend.

I went last year and it was a blast. Only a few slots left.

2 schnauzer pies

I'm blogging and I don't know why


I'm not sure why I'm starting this blog. I think the major reason is I thought liquid schnauzer would be a good name if I ever had a blog, and I wanted to get it before anyone else did.
Anyhow, here is a picture of a liquid schnauzer. I'll post a better example sometime.
