more hattie
the battery died in my D70 earlier this week and i haven't gotten around to recharging it yet, so today's another backlog photo. this is from the trip out to colorado last month when i was visiting with the stuarts. i think this was on the day i was leaving. hattie was watching something on TV (blues clues?) and jake was trying to wake up.

josiah has recently taken to finding mp3s of old super-poppy songs and playing them at full-blast from about 4pm on every day. today being friday he got a bit of an early start and we've worked our way through the roxette catalog, along with hits from mc hammer, michael bolton, c + c music factory, marky mark and the funky bunch. right now its annie lennox's "broken glass." the funny part is that as saccharine as most of these tunes are, its strangely enjoyable and takes me back to all these random memories from my adolescence.
he also played this which is one of the funniest things i think i've ever heard.

Anyways, Andy, thanks for those dental plan links, thanks for giving us the headsup!

Posted by: crabby at July 13, 2004 10:03 PMwow - roxette and 'broken glass' do bring back some memories. andy, i think joyride must have been one of our first and, for the longest time, only cds, and thus probably got inordinate playtime (along with that chesney hawkes cd. Q, please dig some of this up for andy...) i'm afraid i could probably still sing along to even the not so popular tracks on joyride.
