Hyeh! Hot tub! (say in a James Brown-esque voice)





Summer is here and the Isle of Nod is a joyous place to be!

So far, golfing, canoing on the Grand, hot tubbing, working around the house, extra naps, playing music, and writing. Can't complain about that.
Kevin and I are still playing a good bit and have two gigs next weekend (The Duke and a Lesbian Wedding) before our summer hiatus. Lowlight (as opposed to highlight) was when the massive young red haired giant of a young man requested "Hello" by Lionel Richie for his birthday (yes, we played it). I finished my parts on the Andrew Butcher CD, playing saxes on the weekend. The album is going to be something special, if early speculation may be permitted.
Heading up to the cottage on Sunday to get away, spend some time with my bro's family, and all that next week. Should be a blast! Thinking about a trip somewhere in August - we'll have to see how that goes...
More of the novel has been completed. I'll try to post another chapter on the website soon.
Not everthing can be perfect on the Isle, though. Computer problems may force me to splurge on that long overdue computer (a Mac this time, I think), while pricing a new boiler (think the price of a regular furnace x 4 ) has me quaking in my bank account. Always work to do on the old house, too. Ah well...
Here's a couple of pics of summer fun so far!




Jessica, Lane and their little Sophie, with Stacey.





Canoing down the Grand.



If I don't see you/you don't stop by the Isle of Nod, have a great summer!
