A jazzy version of the Inspector Gadget theme song. My old band, Tim the Pie, used to play a version of this, which is where the inspiration came from. Apologies if it gets stuck in your head.

I’ve finished up a few new songs over the last month, which I’ll be posting over the next couple days. The first is a song called “Floating”. It’s more of an atmospheric interlude that briefly teases a song, written for my unborn son. I tried to convey a feeling of floating around in an amniotic sac with brief moments of activity that go away as quickly as they appear.
I’m also trying out a new media player for the site, so click the play button below to start the song and let me know if it gives you any trouble.

A lot has happened since I started being a complete slacker. Ironic, no? Well… no. Not really. Because I actually haven’t really been a complete slacker. I’ve just been a different kind of slacker. The kind that eshews all forms of triathlon training in favor of preparing to be a father. You see, we’re having a baby in about 15 weeks. And therefore I’ve b… HOLY BALLS IT’S ONLY 15 WEEKS AWAY.
In honor of the little man’s arrival (it’s a boy!) we’ve been doing things like painting, reflooring, getting together the baby registry and learning about ridiculous things that you’ve never, ever had to think about unless you’re having a child. Or ride a bike. Like which butt paste is best.
In the nursery, we arrrrrrr going with a pirate theme because our kid is going to be awesome. In fact, he already is awesome and he’s not even born yet. How do I know? Because he kicked me in the face when I said ‘hi’ to Dee’s belly the other day. How could he NOT be awesome with strong future triathlete legs like that? So I spent this weekend painting a mural in the nursery for him.
It’s almost six feet tall and took about 17 hours. And the sign on the tree is chalkboard paint! Just getting a headstart on being the World’s Best Dad.
