In mere moments we will be heading out for a drive to Vancouver, where we will spend the weekend celebrating Steve's dad's 65th birthday. It will be nice to connect with Steve's family and have some fun in the rainy city. Steve wants to go to all of the big music stores and squander our savings on new guitars, speakers, keyboards, and the like. If I have my say, we will make a stop at Old Navy and IKEA. If we both get our wish, we will come home with lots of loot, but no hope for our future. :)

Happy birthday to Bob (Steve's dad) and Bruce (Steve's dad's twin brother)!
