Random thoughts

Our 13 year old son {that’s him in the center} is officially Scuba Certified. I was Scuba Terrified the night when I knew he was doing his night diving.

Also, Bebe Gallini’s in Cornelius, just north of Charlotte, NC, {I wrote of my addiction, devotion, and undying love for the shop a few weeks ago} is hosting a little get together at their place THIS Wednesday. Angela and I will be there around 6ish for an hour or so and I’d love to meet you there. You can visit their facebook page and RSVP here.

And have you SEEN this (in)courage video?
