I Need More Mariachi Music

 When I lived in Oklahoma I heard a lot of Mariachi music not only in the ubiquitous local and excellent Mexican restaurants but even emanating from cars on the street. I never really thought I enjoyed it, but apparently I developed an appreciation for the genre. This beluga whale seems to enjoy it too!

We are looking at August 25 as our tentative move in date for the new house. It's good to at least have some kind of date in mind, even if it's later than I expected it to be. Typical of big projects there are cost overruns and frustration but I think it will look great and over the long haul we will be glad we did it. Today we start kitchen floor installation - I imagine I will just have ugly scraped floor today but improved appearance tomorrow. I can't wait to see some of the new surfaces we've paid for appear in our house!
