Driving home from work Friday, the transmission in my car failed. Ever try driving up a hill in neutral? (After you lose momentum, you start rolling backwards). Bottom line is that it will cost more to fix the car than it's worth.
Since this is the time of the year car dealers get the "next" model year, I decided to go shopping. And wouldn't you know it, but there are lots of 2003s on sale. So, I went for it and bought my first ever new car, an Infiniti G35:

Randy took a number of pictures in Alaska too. See more pictures in the photo gallery.
Vincent tickles the ivories at the fish fry. You can't catch 115lbs of fish per man without actually eating it, can you? And man, it was good! See more pictures in the photo gallery.
Katherine climbs at Lia's 2nd birthday party. See more pictures in the photo gallery.
Back from Alaska with 115 lbs of Salmon, Halibut and Snapper. Put your request in now. What a great place. Felt like the last American frontier. Only 1 telephone at the resort and was almost stranded due to bad weather. Saw whales (humpback and orca), bald eagles and bears. Caught tons of fish. Saw the sun and saw the rain. Good company and good food. What a great trip. Check out the pictures in the photo gallery.
Katherine's 4 today. Celebrated Sunday, when the temperature must have hit 104. The Valley has been unseasonably cool until this week. I'm off to Alaska in 5 hours for a fishing trip, so I'm missing Katherine's actual birthday. I won't miss the heat.

Vincent's first 2 word sentence ... hey dad.
It's been quiet for a while on BigFrog. Should be lots of pictures coming up, with Katherine's birthday and my Alaska fishing trip coming up.
By the way -- Vincent is officially walking now. He has been for the last 2 weeks. The kid loves his cake (and ice cream). He's also learned to point, so you don't want to be sitting next to him at lunch, especially if you're hungry. Vincent's got some appetite.
