Can’t believe six months has gone by. Time files when you’re having fun. Looking forward to the next six, and the next, and the next….

Death Cab for Cutie at Santa Barbara Bowl

Liam, Carolyn, Martha, and I just got back from the Death Cab for Cutie show at the Santa Barbara Bowl. It was a fun show, but Martha and I were both struck by how little the state of the art has progressed from what the Beach Boys were doing, oh, 40 years ago. Just a thought.

We just arrived home from the windy city after celebrating my cousin’s wedding. Just a fun shot of us at the rehearsal dinner.

Martha’s in Boston. I’m in Pasadena. I had dinner with the monkey tonight.

Oh yeah

I knew there was a reason I moved to Santa Barbara.

Soul Searching DVDs

In case you haven’t heard, Michael Eaton (my brother-in-law) has recently released a documentary companion to Christian Smith’s Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers. It’s getting rave reviews on Amazon.

If you’re interested in this sort of thing, here’s the DVD, and here’s the book.

Brewvies!

How could you go to Salt Lake City and pass on Brewvies? Get some beer, watch a movie. Martha and I saw Semi-Pro, which was exactly what you’d expect from a Will Ferrell movie about 1970s semi professional basketball.

Here’s one of Martha beneath the Brewvies sign. I had to tweak the image to get her to (barely) show up.

Z’s Slow Cookin’

mlk — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 20:16:02 +0000

We were both thankful that this weekend we got to stay put!

Friday night Heather and Tim drove up our way to see the Natalie Cole show at the Granada so we tagged along for the dinner and dessert portions of their evening.

We had your basic Saturday yesterday. I had my traditional breakfast with Susan, ran a few errands, did a little fun shopping, I even got to take a nap! Zach spent the better part of the morning preparing our dinner for the slow-cooker. It was tasty - Cuban Chicken. It was done around 8pm and afterwards we retired to our little tv room and watched My Left Foot. Yes, My Left Foot, the film from 1989.

Today we decided to take a little drive north and are presently sitting in a cute coffee shop in San Luis Obispo. The drive up the coast was spectacular with lots of wildflowers along the 101. Soon we will go get some lunch and check out SLO a little more before heading back home for church. I’ll be sure to take some pictures of our little day trip today and post this week.

Saturday night the Becchios came over for some pizza. We had a fun time with them, reading Curious George, hearing about the Santa Barbara Junior High 75th anniversary carnival, and getting the boys in their jammies for the night. The quote of the evening: Me: D, are you excited to be at Cha-cha’s house? D: ZACH’S house. Well, I beg your pardon!
