1 - My physical and blood work for immigration came back A1.
2 - After two months waiting for the results of the test, I learned today that "my boys can swim" and I'm fit to procreate.
3 - The owner of the house we live in finally changed his mind and is apparently now willing to sell if we want to buy. *
4 - November 2014 looks like it could potentially mark my return on stage after almost 15 years. I'm not anxious to get on that stage. To me, playing live is in the same category as taking the plane, colonoscopy or re-installing Windows.
5 - Wife said: New iMac for the studio won't have to wait 'til Christmas. Am I excited?!!
6 - Phase two of sound treatment should take place in a week or two. 
7 - The drum kits in Logic X are the answer to all my prayers to Bonham (even though I am not entirely happy with Logic X itself).
8 - I finally found a chorus for a song I'd been working on since last spring!
9 - We may be getting a sixth kitten soon. :P
 
 
 
 
* Bonus: if we buy this place, nothing keeps us from adopting a dog. Or five... :P I'd start small - a couple of Dobermans or a Rottweiler.  And a German Shepherd. A boxer, too. Bullmastiffs are cool, though - I'd need one... And a possum.

Judging by a summary of all those comments, you may want to make sure that house is BIG enough before you buy! 

We've been checking out houses ever since we arrived in Vegas (though until we got the green card, the required down payment was exorbitant) - heck, even before we arrived. But since we moved in here, no other house ever fits as perfectly. There's always something that's not just as right - this is the house we want. And it is just big enough. :)

Krist,  I'm so sad to hear of your troubles.  I hope things pick up for you in 2015.
 
 
 
 
 

long list of great things!
 
so glad to know you have healthy swimmers!  when's the procreation going to start? 

Congrats Rain!!! Just like SouthWest Airlines, you're now free to roam about the country.
Speaking of houses, I'm actually getting ready to put my Vegas house for sale in Nov. as well......looks to be a good month up ahead.
 
Good luck with the return to the stage......I'd like to see/hear some of that Jimmy Page Hendrix Iomi Balckmore's Rhoads.

You know you'll need an experienced engineer for that,  I'll PM you my address so you can send the plane ticket.
I have my own web-cam for your colonoscopy...

when's the procreation going to start? 

I would normally say pics/vid or it dinnit happen. 

Personally, I'm not really interested in watching Krist's colonoscopy.  I've had one and they're not pretty.
 
although my wife said I was flirting with all of the nurses after the procedure....

ALL the nurses?    Even the (insert non-gender preference here) ones?
