Steel Pulse


Steel Pulse is one of the few bands I have listened to consistently for the last 20 years. I was introduced to them by my older brother when I was 15, and have seen them live several times. It is amazing to me how relevant their lyrics are to today's world. The biggest Steel Pulse fans reside in Hopiland. I loved seeing all the young men sporting Steel Pulse t-shirts at Indian gatherings when I lived in Arizona. 



Here is a picture of Mutabaruka (not part of Steel Pulse) visiting a Hopi school from the Reggae in Hopiland site.

San Juan Islands

Visited the San Juan Islands when my parents were in town. What an amazing place!

George Spencer

One of George Spencer's Boxers. He really captures the essence of the boxer in this painting.

Chickens

We recently got chickens. They are almost old enough to put out in the coop, and we are excited to have them cruising around the yard. They are currently looking more like mini dinosaurs than the baby chickens we brought home in the picture.

TEEPEE

Got this custom teepee for my daughter. It has been a lot of fun so far. Looking forward to the rain slowing down so that I can set it up outside.
