The Blog Vacuum

Bah Dah Ching!
Last Thursday a friend from SonRise, Leo, came out to CrossWay to fix up our drumset. It sounds SOOO good now! The toms are tuned properly and he made some deadeners to kill the ring in them. He also tightened the snare and it has a great sound now. Leo spent an hour or so Continue reading

Work hard: Okay, so Carolyn’s not planning to work too hard, although she probably will anyway because she doesn’t like doing nothing. She’s helping out with Continue reading

Train Jail Update
Recently I wrote about the Top 10 Ways to Escape from Little Kids Trying to Throw You in the Train Jail. Today I developed a new tactic that proved highly effective: I had two captors dragging me off to the train jail, a little boy and a little girl. When we were almost to the Continue reading

Another Panera Moment
It’s always great to have an excuse for breakfast at Panera Bread. I don’t think I could ever get tired of their sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwiches!
