It's been awhile since I last posted something on this blog. Work has been crazy and I haven't been at my desk for very long periods of time. I have some time now to make a post though. I don't have much to write. Beckie has included most of the things we have been doing with our lives, including our trip to San Francisco. Although, I didn't fall in love with the city, our trip was great fun. It's the first time either of us have been to Northern California. I especially liked the time spent with the family, and especially the little one. One of the other reasons I was excited about our trip to San Francisco was the prospect of visiting Amoeba records, the largest independent record store in the country. A place where you can find anything you like, not just the popular radio tracks. The only record store we have in Utah County is FYE, which is not exactly a record store but more of a media store. Amoeba was about 4-5 blocks from Haight & Ashbury on Haight St. A very interesting neighborhood. You could still see the hippy influence in nearly every shop. When we walked into Amoeba it was like stepping into the past and the future at once, another world even. The vinyl on the walls, the rows and rows of cd's, the posters covering every inch of wall, and everything I was looking for. We even saw singer/songwriter John Vanderslice, who did a in-store performance that afternoon. Here is a video of one of my favorite songs of his, Exodus Damage.
Well, after a couple of trips to Amoeba, I was very happy for what I had found. Thank you beckie for bearing with me and thanks emily for taking me a second time. You are all too nice. I look forward to maybe going to the Hollywood store after Christmas while we are in So. California.

Let's just say I would have never step foot into a store like that without you!
