Funniest thing you'll see today.  Here's the original, and then the acoustic version, which somehow improves on the original.

It's like more cowbell, but it's Nathan instead of cowbell.

By popular request, I've uploaded the photos from last December in San Diego.

Passover is approaching and my mind is once again turned toward all the details of the holiday.  In particular, the prohibition against eating grains and legumes.

Got back late last night from the first reenacting event of the season at Knight's Ferry.  Our "camp mom" Judy took some shots with my camera which I'll post "at some point."

Being the senior non-commissioned officer in a unit is a totally different experience from being a private.  Frankly, I don't think I could have handled the job before becoming a father.  Fatherhood has taught me that something can be a chore and fun at the same time, and that's what most of the weekend was for me.  I got very little time to relax until after the sun set; I spent all day doing paperwork, delegating duties, talking with command, reminding people to drink water, and dealing with their health problems when they failed to drink water.

My buddy Phil has entered a photo in a contest.  You should vote for him.

A couple galleries of Civil War events.  I'm only 18 months behind schedule now.

Fresno 2008:

Nice op-ed from the NY Times about faith in the Episcopal church.  Gets a little sarcastic at the end but still a nice message.  It's nice to hear something from the Religious Left.

A few months ago I put up the gallery for Phil & Lydia's wedding.  I forgot to add a few more panorama shots.  Here they are now.

Now that I'm back from 1863 it's time to get back into web design.  Almost a year ago I wrestled with Facebook, trying to get it to publish updates from my blog.  I won.  Now the dance has begun again.

I can't tell you how excited I am to wear blue wool again.
