Gracie

I went to visit my brand new niece a couple of days ago. Her name is Gracie and she is beautiful. It is amazing seeing a baby that is so new. The whole world seems to illuminate her eyes. I see a little bit of both my sister and Devon in her. I am so happy for them. That little peanut is going to have her whole life on digital files and compact flash cards. She is not shy with the camera though. I can't wait till she is old enough to buy her her own camera, go camping, teach her guitar and secrets about life. It's cool knowing you got a little kid thats going to be looking up to you. I always wanted a little brother, but I guess my sisters baby will do.
Here is some of the first footage of little Gracie. She has already begun to inspire me in so many ways. Way to go big sis!

My heart craves New Mexico

Lately all I have been thinking about is New Mexico. Every once in a while I get these dreams where I am in Santa Rosa State park and I am walking around and the only sound is the wind blowing past my ears. It is such a wonderful dream. There is never anyone in the dream. Just me and Santa Rosa. For the time I am dreaming it feels like I have found that one special place that helps you completely free and open your mind. Some day I will go back and visit. It's only a 20 hour drive or so. Maybe someday soon? Who knows. Sophie needs a break for a little while. This year has been hard on ze o' box.
I hope Sophies beautiful presence never leaves me. I will be the number 1 Scion Xb spokes person for the rest of my life. That car is perfect.
This year will be ended with more trips on a plane than in a car. I have found that my main interest right now is traveling. Now that I have the power of video at my finger tips, I will be documenting a city near you.
Top places to be traveled to this year:
New York
Los Angeles
Maine

There are plenty of journeys coming my way and I am going to take all with open arms.
