Now

Full House

Mrs. H's cousin and family living in Goldsboro experienced a family tragedy, the upshot of which is we have a full house, now! We've added our uncle, cousin, her son, and 5 month old baby to the permanent mix, and host another relative on weekends.

It was quite the adjustment at first, especially in terms of space. We reorganized the rooms around, made the garage a hang-out area and put the drums there, moved our "offices" to the main bedroom, and got things set-up in the other two bedrooms for everyone.

It's a little hectic at times, but we've settled into a routine and having the family around is really nice. We try to have meals around our giant table several times a week and that's been lovely.

We've gotten the 8 year old into the local school and involved in a couple of different activities.

Playing Drums, Still!

I'm working on original music in two bands at the moment, practicing with them couple times a week and every day at home.

Sadly, the bass player for Power Child, the band I had been focusing on for the past 2 years, retired with his wife to Spain, and the band has been what I would consider defunct at this point, although there's been no official break-up.

It's a bummer because that was one of my favorite bands I've been in. Maybe it will come around again, or I'll get to play with members of that band again in another context.
