our car (the silver one) is having some troubles. some kind of battery charging issue, which we haven't had much of a chance to diagnose. (enter big sigh here).

in other, more positive news, we are moving up a league in basketball! this means more competition & more intense games. we are excited! and we play our second game of the softball season tonight. go amigos! (that's our team name).

a few new pics on flickr.

we went on a hike this evening. it was great to get out a bit. here is a panorama of the view from the top. **click me!!** if you're able to zoom in on the image then i'd recommend doing so (roll over the image, and a zoom icon should appear. if it doesn't, don't worry about it).

hooray for the celtics!

love you, daddio.

last night neal and i went rappelling with mark, tommy, and peter (some of neal's co-workers). we went to rubio canyon, only about 30 minutes from our place. it was our first rappel experience, and it was fun. i will admit that i was very nervous at first, but once i got on the rope and trusted it to hold my weight, it was easy from there on out. we started at the highest waterfall (80 feet), and continued down through a series of 5 additional waterfalls of varying heights. all in all it was a great trip.

here i am towards the bottom during our final rappel:

i don't have a pic of neal yet, but will post one once i do.

this photo makes me feel very peaceful tonight.

we have a new car... oh sweet relief! the mustang rental has been fun to drive, but one can only handle so much mustang before its time to move on.

no pics yet, but our new car a 1993 volvo 240 and basically looks like this. yeah!

**UPDATE: we now have two cars. here is the second. talk about sweetness!!!

We had to say goodbye to our red Mazda this week. If you hadn't heard, our car was totaled. But this video brightened my day!
