Music, sweet music, I wish I could caress...

My, but the last month has been a full one. A month can be a long time.

Highlights? Amy's a year older! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Amy, happy birthday to you!

Alas, for dear Amy, Dark Shadows Collection 3 is now history. Only 2,340,010 more episodes to go.

Amy's March 19 cabaret concert with the Redford Symphony was a good one. And she's got another coming up in May - the Spring Concert!

As it's officially Spring, Amy's tulips have chosen to make an appearance. Lovely.

O' course, that means lawnwork. Anyone want to come over 'n help?

Andrew Bernstein at U of M on April 10th was his usual butt-kicking self.

The topic - Religion vs. Morality. A rousing talk, followed by a spirited Q & A session. And we all went out to The Pizza House afterward. Amy & I produced the flyer based on Amy's brilliant ideas. I videotaped the talk (and as usual, it took a long, long time to edit the video). If you were there and are looking to purchase the souvenir DVD for a contribution to UMSO, drop me a line. Nice work, Dr. B.

On the subject of Objectivist fun, the second April EGO meeting also included an Easter Egg Hunt - with an Objectivist definition tucked in each egg! Curiously, there were a few "rotten eggs" but a good time was had by all. And several new folks were there, including the delightful Lulu, and Mike (of Mike's Eyes fame).

Also on the Amy list was a concert last Tuesday, The Cribs, Franz Ferdinand, and Death Cab For Cutie. Good show. Curious lack of guitar solos - but several drum solos. But "general admission" is hard on your feet for a show that long! Diana and Echo were in attendance, and a good time was had by all.

Speaking of music - the April 2006 FDPJam was a good'n. Some clips are posted online. Looking forward to doing another one this year, as the bar (Corktown Tavern) has extended us an open invitation.

Last weekend, Amy visited her mom in Indianapolis, so the lovely Miss Diana and I took the opportunity for a father/daughter night out, and saw V For Vendetta. I enjoyed the film, though the terrorist means used by the hero are a good subject for debate - are such means ever valid? That's a tough one.

Next morning, we celebrated Bring Your Daughter To Work Day (well, not officially...). It's too bad she has no passion for computers - she'd be a good field technician.

Dahly's got spring fever. Or she's just becoming psychotic. Or both. But you can get away with nearly anything when you're that cute.

... and that's not all ... there was Eric's EGO meeting ... and an Eric & Robert jam session (including a snare mishap) ... adventures in amplifier rebuilding ... a Passage To India ... income tax adventures for 2005 (what fun ... over $3K in the red!) ... and more ... but that's all I've time to post ... Drive Well and Sleep Carefully! ...
