Next Week...

...is going to be fun. On Monday night, we go to Miami to see the this relatively unknown band. It should be a pretty decent show from what I hear:) Then, Friday morning Jackson and I will hop in a plane bound for the 'Nati. It's time to reconnect with some old buddies that I haven't talked to in a while - Creech, Rains, Palmer, Marshall, & the like. Jackson is all hyped up to go on a trip with Daddy and I'm milking his enthusiasm for all its worth. It's amazing what you can get a 4 year old to do (or not do) by reminding him that only big boys go on trips with Daddy.

Then, of course, the following week is Thanksgiving and Mark and Alison (my brother and sister-in-law) are coming down from Minnesota to my parent's place for the week. Good times await.

By the way, if you've been in a hole and only read a few blogs here and there like I do, make sure you check out Scot McKnight. Cool guy.
