We celebrated the fourth of July with family.   My nephews birthday was July 3 so we went down to celebrate.  My sister had an awesome Pirate party for the kids.  Lots of pirate games, priate dress up and pirate music, including a techno version of the theme from the Pirates of the Caribeian.  

After all the kids had left and it was just our family around I decided to help clean up.   The music got going and I was forced by it to dance my own little pirate jig.

Germany, or "Schland" as the German's call it lost to Spain today in the Eurocup Futbol Final. :(

So sad!   Germany looked horrible.  They only played well for about five minutes.

We watched the game with one of my old co-workers and her family and friends so that was fun!

Perhaps The U.S. will beat Germany in the World Cup Final in two years?  I can dream can't I?

We just got back from vacation to Europe.  We went to Germany, Austria and Switzerland and had a marvelous time.   We will be sharing it with you soon!

While I am hear posting Annie's video I might as well make a quick update.   Things here are well.  I have a bit of a head cold/air ache thing.  I got it while in Washington D.C. last week and it just isn't going away.

Annie hurt her leg a few weeks ago and is still recovering.  She didn't break it but she did overuse it and it got all big and swollen and she couldn't walk real well so I just gave her a cane and put roller blades on her good foot and she pushed herself around.

Work for me is going well.  Staying really busy and trying to get caught up after being out of town last week.  I continue to love freelancing.

Annie is finishing up school, which is always exciting because she will be around all summer. 

We are really looking forward to the summer as we will be travelling to Europe, watching the olympics, lots of great movies, gardening, disc golf, etc, etc, etc!

I am a summer man if you can't tell.

That is it for now.

I put together this little clip of us driving through Florence, Italy last summer, June 2007.

I could try to explain what you are watching, but in truth, it is unexplainable.  It is just our lives in snippets.  Enjoy!

This is my nephew playing the drums.  Don't tell me it isn't awesome!

I have been saying to everyone who can hear me speak,(about 2/3 of the male population and a sampling of the female population it seems only about 1/5), that I need a new computer.  The one I have now is just getting slower and slower and takes longer and longer and now has started to not boot up properly from time to time.

Well, I have been wanting to get a new laptop.  However, I don't travel all that much and when I do, I end up only using an Internet browser anyway. 

Therefore, I have decided that I can get the most bang for my buck with a desktop.  Woot.com happened to have a great desktop for sale today so I jumpted on it.

I am excited to get it.  It probably won't get here for three weeks, so be prepared to listen to me complain.
