Hey Tom,

Thanks! We're pretty excited about it. So far we know that its a boy and he
seems to have all of his fingers, toes and other standard issue parts. He
should be making his entrance to this world in mid-December.

If someone stole my guitars I'd be seriously bummed. Even though I haven't
played in a band since I moved here, I still love my guitars and I don't
think there is a day that goes by where I don't play at least one of them.

We've had a lot of stuff stolen from our property, which was a drag, but the
worst was when someone entered our house at midnight one night while we were
home. Our three dogs started after him when my wife started screaming (I was
in the shower at the time). Anyway, it was a night I really don't want to
repeat in this lifetime. That and the gun shots really un-nerve me,
especially the ones that sound like they are really close to the house.

Anyone want to buy a nice three bedroom house in Durham? ;-)

That sounds pretty tempting. I've wondered what sort of work/entrepreneurial
options existed out that way. I like the Asheville vibe, I get a similar
feeling from PBO. I think living in either place could greatly improve one's
quality of life.

Sometimes the options are just so overwhelming :)
