I'm An Uncle!

Hey everyone!

I know it's been a long while since my last update...

July was busy.

Starfish High's school festival was on the 30th of June and 1st of July. Sang "Popsicle Toes", a jazz song, on the 30th, and "Festival Preparations", a punk song, on the 1st. Both sets kicked major ass.

The next day I flew home. That was for P-dog's wedding, and the old KB gang got back together again. Everyone looked great, and I got more than a few "update the darn blog" comments.

This will happen. Just not yet.

So P-dog is one happy newlywed. Good to see, good to see.

After coming back, I made a trip to Furano to take some pics of the lavender that Furano is famous for. Mom and Sis are BIG lavender fans, and I promised them some photos. Keep an eye out for those here.

A slow week followed, and then I went on a big adventure for the big three-oh. Yep, yours truly turned 30 on July 30th. Abandoned train lines, hot springs way up in the mountains, more fresh seafood than you can shake a stick at, crab meat, a festival, and many many miles under the tires of my car.

Pics from this trip will also appear...sometime.

Good times.

And now, official word has arrived. On August 12, 2007, at around 2AM, I became an uncle. My kid sister gave birth to William Ravi Mallory, her own little pod person. (I mean this in total good fun.) How tough is my sister? It was an all-natural birth. No drugs, no IV, no nothing.

This is why I live in Japan. She scares me so damn much that I'm afraid to be in the same country with her for very long.

Anyway, congrats to And, Mark, William, and the new Grandma and Grandpa Kidd.

Oh, and Uncle Dustin, too.
