A life update - new teeth and a new Teddy

Well, where have I been all of this time? Dylan has sure lost her first tooth. And then some. And we bought our first house! Well, condo. A nice two bedroom in North Coral Gables. So odd to write that down, realizing that at the time of my last post buying a place was one of the major milestones of our lives. And maybe it is. We decided that we were going to buckle down and really give Miami a chance. And so we are.

I'm enjoying the music life these days more than I have since leaving Arizona. I play this piano every Friday night in front of a great Irish pub on Miracle Mile. Usually I'm joined by my friend Dorian on drums. We play a wide smattering of tunes, from the Beatles to Elton John to Nirvana. Kind of what ever I am in the mood for. It is awesome.

It is really exactly what I have been looking for. Dorian and I also have a band, called Dellorian Mack, but we just found our last night our bass player Mike is moving to San Diego in a couple of months. This is the second time in 3 years that a fun band has been adjourned because one of the members is leaving Miami. I figure next time it is my turn to be the one to exodus. I see maybe 2 more years here. Who knows. 

As I tell people, I love my day to day life, with the perpetual sunshine, my job is fullfilling, and Nicole Dylan and I have a great time.  But when the time passes, and I look back on a year or a couple of years, I am not sure exactly what we are doing here. Friendships aren't quite as deep as I am expecting. Milestones don't have the same weight that they should. Maybe that will change, but maybe not. 

Dylan is amazing. So smart, a great student, a better friend, and wild. Oh, and we got Teddy!

That changed everything! Welcome Teddy!!!!
