What do you want to be when you grow up?
12/12/2008 - 2:43pm //When my sister was little she used to say she wanted to be a bus
driver when she grew up. Our schoolbus driver was a sweet old man and
I think she just really liked him. Mags used to say she wanted to be
Santa Claus when she grew up (understandable). I always wanted to be a
teacher (which I tried for a few years) or in a band (with brief

Making Baby Cereal is Hot
12/05/2008 - 2:04am //Whenever we go to restaurants on tour (frequent) we order warm water to mix up the baby cereal to feed June. A

night, I even jumped around on stage and I've never really done that)

If you are up early on Saturday
12/04/2008 - 11:07pm //We're gonna bring the family to Good Morning America on Saturday
morning. They will be doing an slightly extended version of the piece

Flight and Fight
11/21/2008 - 12:17pm //What is going on with flights? Jason had to emergency land in Raleigh on the morning of our Jacksonville show. He was bringing Mags home for her Thanksgiving Feast (big deal at preschool) Then he was rerouted all day and finally missed the final connection to make it in time for the show and so, we didn't get to play.
