Coffee and Code

Okay, I just found this picture on Hannah’s facebook profile so I just had to write a post about it.

My cousin Hannah lives in Montreal. She flew down for the weekend to visit my sister in Denver, and yesterday they went up to Cheyenne to visit the family there. Pictured here is Hannah holding Sebastian, my newest nephew as of April 11th, 2008. This is a great picture! In the background you can see Don Bess, my sister’s boyfriend. (Andy, my brother is in there too, but you can only see his leg...)

I haven’t met Sebastian yet. Hopefully I will get a chance later on this summer when my schedule slows down enough to allow some vacation time. I haven’t seen Claudia and Don in a really long time, and I know that they will show us a hell of a time in Denver. Plus, it’s only a two hour shot from Denver up to Cheyenne to see Mom, Dad, Andy, Haley, A.J, and of course Sebastian.

In other news, I picked up some new music this weekend: Avenged Sevenfold (self-titled), and the Dropkick Murphys’ "Meanest of Times".

Avenged Sevenfold is the band’s latest album, and I do like it. It’s not quite as heavy as their previous album, and contains a lot of twisted love songs. However, they still riff sick and make me bang my head.

"Meanest of Times" is my favorite: the Dropkick Murphys’ brand of Irish/punk/hardcore/folk music really wants me to get out my bottle of Jameson and "tear it up". Their music kinda makes you want to sing along. I’ve been listening to it loud all weekend.

Well, that’s all for now. I wish everyone a great Memorial Day and happy trails!
