Spent tonight teaching Luke about records and why they are better than any CD. It was almost a right of passage watching him put the record on the turntable.
Christy and I use twitter fairly frequently during our lives and overall we really like it. It keeps us up to date with what friends are doing, what is going on and in some cases give us inspiration. About 3 weeks ago I started doing searches based on location, meaning that it pulls our whoever tweeted within 5 or 10 miles of me. Mostly what was returned was young high school kids complaining about something or other… which is def not want I want to waste my life following!
But, the flip side is that I’ve picked up several people I follow that are fairly interesting and even had lunch with a guy that runs another design firm down here in Sugar Land. For the first time in a long time I feel like I’m beginning to break a few barriers, here in suburbia, when it comes to meeting people and finding people of similar interests (or even dissimilar interests).
Hoping to maybe keep meeting new folks and even put together a local meetup (or Tweetup for all the Geeks reading). So take some time and do some local searches for people tweeting around you!
P.S. if you are from Sugar Land be sure to follow @SLTownSquare as they seem to be the unofficial voice for our great city.

Luke and I went over to hang with some friends this afternoon and I caught the two of them lounging on the pirate ship.
Alot has happened in the last 6 months and blogging hasn’t been a huge priority for us in the Hargrave household. But with summertime coming there is going to be alot to share so we’re going to try get back in the habit of sharing what all is going on.
In short… We went to steamboat for MusicFest, I’m now in the beardless part of the year, Christy is a redhead, Luke is 5, Crossbridge has moved into a building, it’s getting hot in Texas, we’re still traveling alot and have a river trip in our near future!
There… you’re all caught up. LOL
We spent this NYE over at our friends Brian and Angela’s. We watched motorcycle jumps, had pizza, drank Apple Martini’s, saw the ball drop and made fun of musicians that we had no idea who they were. It was sort of a last minute decision to head over and it was one of the best NYE’s we’ve had in a long time. Happy New Years everybody!
Luke was nine months old the last time he sat on Santa’s lap. Like my mother did with me, I thought that it would be a tradition every year. However, my son wasn’t having it. He wanted nothing to do with that guy.
This year, as always I asked him if he would go with me to visit Santa? Yes, he said. Will you sit on his lap? And to my surprise the answer was, “Yes”. I was thrilled.
So, I throw on his best red shirt and jeans (because my child has no vests, thank you very much) and headed to the mall.
We arrived to the Santa Place and I began to see my little man getting a little apprehensive. I got down on my knees and told him he didn’t have to do it if he didn’t want to. I told him I just wanted a picture, but I understood if he just simply wanted to look at him. I held his little chin in my hand and said, it’s just for me honey, but I’m not going to make you do anything you don’t want to. He looked up at me and said, “OK mom, I won’t say anything to him, I will just take my picture for you.”
I’m so proud of my little guy!
And of course I had to reward my brave boy with the messiest cookie ever!
