feelin the flow


I know, I'm going crazy here with 2 blog posts in one day, but I couldn't resist sharing this picture.

G2 is seen here in his daily hulk transformation. When he's hulk, he doesn't just play the small green toy guitar. He becomes the small green toy guitar. The music flows through him.

He can often be heard around the house belting out that great American anthem:

"Bye bye Miss American Pie.
Drove the Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin Pepsi and Sprite
Singin this will be the day that I die....
This will be the day that I die."

Oh he is a doll! Even if he is growling and pretending to smash things. Tonight we watched the pilot of the 70's Incredible Hulk series again with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. Way cheesy but little G Hulk LOVES it when his shirt rips and his polyester pants seem to stretch forever without ripping. He is amazed and wants some like them.

I love that picture of G2 and I love that song! I can drive the wife crazy when I sing most of the verses. Looks like the Stump family is hitting the "roids." I wouldn't want to tell your son that he missed a note. Enjoy, enjoy those little boy times Dad.

I don't know...it looks more like a Clapton tune to me, I'd bet on "Layla."

Tomo thought every person in America could sing every word of American Pie, which he could do perfectly. He was so sad we only knew the chorus.

You're on a nice journey toward multiple guitars, amps, pedals, tuners, etc. I've been on that journey for years ... much to my wife's dismay. But it's still a wonderful journey.

MacT, I love that old show. The theme music can't touch the Wonder Woman song, but for pure unintentional comedy, it is top notch.

Cwinwc, I love that song now, except now it is stuck in my head and that can be lethal.

Peggy, G2 Hulk could totally rock "Layla."

Thurman8er, no need to hide 'em, we just like to...er...customize the songs at our house. It is even more fun with a little whiskey and rye.

Greg, we're strictly acoustic right now. G2 feels that amplification puts a barrier between his fans and his music and that's just not the way he rolls.

Of course NOTHING can touch the Wonder Woman music. That series is THE best thing ever made. About this I will not argue.

The myth of fingerprints

Shorter post today. I thought it would be better if you knew up front. I teach a business law class to junior and senior business students at a couple local colleges. I do it because I enjoy it and one of the colleges is a local Christian school I like to support. One of the things I have come to enjoy is how predictable people are in groups. Get a group of people together and you will always have certain personality types and people playing certain rolls. It is like the various versions of the expression that goes something like, every group of people has at least one person that the rest of the group makes fun of when they are not there. If you can not identify that person in your particular group it is because that person is you. ....or so the saying goes. Anyway, every year I teach this class the "same" people sit in the same places in class, dress the same and make the same comments. They are actually different people, most of whom don't even know each other

I Left My Heart.....in San Diego

Out of nowhere, I am going to San Diego this week. Every year my oldest and bestest friend (not including the artist formerly known as StumpTown's wife, of course) meet in San Francisco to see a couple Giants games. This year we were having trouble getting something scheduled and then out of nowhere he has some extra travel budget he has to spend or lose (he visits colleges as part of his job as a college counselor at a super posh prep school in LA), and needs to visit some of the schools in San Diego and wouldn't you know it, the Giants just happen to be in town this weekend. So, a quick frequent flyer free ticket later and I'm hitting the road, or air, or whatever. I will fly out tomorrow and come back Sunday. We should get to see a couple games and I'll be able to catch up with some other friends from college along the way. Should be great. So, I may not be able to post anything new here the rest of the week, though I am taking a laptop with me and have high ho

So Much Going On

Man, I wish I had time to blog, because there is so much going on right now. I just started at a new firm. It is the firm where I started my career and I could not be happier to be back. To make it even better, after going through 16 different secretaries, I now am working with the best of the best and she decided to come with me to the new firm making a good situation that much better. In other news, my lovely wife and I just got back from the Zoe worship conference in beautiful Fresno, California. Here were some of the highlights in mostly chronological order: We left the kids with the grandparents and drove down. That’s right we drove the 12+ hours from Portland to Fresno. Apparently, we are just too stupid (and by “we” I mean “me”) to figure out that gas prices probably make flying cheaper, so then the only thing air travel has going for it is the time savings, convenience and lack of extra miles on the car. Good thinking by us. I love a road trip, but this was just dumb. That said
