My 13 month old son will be walking soon - of course that will present a whole new set of problems - but it's fun to see him teeter on those unsteady legs as he works up the courage to make it from mom to dad or back.

There are a lot of things to learn on the mandolin and guitar, people to sing with and places to sing at. All in all it's a pretty good life.

Did I mention I have a 000 Collings slot head on order? As an instrument junkie I love to have that next fix to look forward to.
