Speaking of Gabriel Allon, how fortuitous that the day after I finish @NickPetrie‘s latest, @danielsilvabook’s arrives.

Nine years after I purchased my first noise-canceling headphones, a pair of refurbished Bose QuietComfort 15s, I’ve stepped up to wireless ANCs with these Sennheiser PXC-550-II cans.
First tracks played: Stryper’s “To Hell With the Devil” and Whitecross’ “Who Will You Follow.”

This little girl turned one year old yesterday. Like the federal holiday, we observed her birthday today. (We hosted some friends for a pool party yesterday.) She has made quite an impact on our household in just a few months. ❤️




It’s always a treat getting mail from overseas. I wonder what this could be, @ZubyMusic? 😉

While Dad reads thrillers, Stella attempts to prove no dog toy is indestructible.


Rambo?

This wasn’t the way any of us wanted to see @LSUbaseball’s season end, but then few of us thought they would get this far.
Arguing the stats and ins-and-outs of Paul Maineri’s career will be for others far more versed in those arguments than I. For me, he was very gracious with his time when we met once outside Alex Box Stadium, while my oldest was on the field for the 2014 baseball camp, when he said hello, asked how I was doing, and how my son was enjoying camp. And he was gracious in posing for photos with all the camp participants as well.
Thanks for your time then, Coach, and with the Tigers. All the best.

Okay, I’m ready. Let’s #GeauxTigers! Beat the Vols!

What’s better than celebrating your anniversary a day early? Having a teenager who can watch younger siblings and the timing to go out on your anniversary after all the other activities are done.


Twenty-nine years tomorrow that we tied the knot. Celebrating this evening; she’s still my favorite. 😉
