			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I bought a new guitar the other day.  Couldn&#8217;t quite afford it yet, with all the wedding expenses the second half of the year has brought, but I was growing restless.   I sold my previous acoustic/electric to help cash flow with one of my daughter&#8217;s wedding in August, and then have been paying for my own.  Anyway, I couldn&#8217;t stand it any longer.</p>
<p>I had narrowed down my selection to a Seagull model in the most recent Music123 catalog.  But then, on-line, I started to see them disappear.  That is was pushed me over the edge&#8230;I had this fear that in a couple of weeks I&#8217;d be waiting for backorder.  So, off to Guitar Center I went.</p>
<p>I got a great deal from the guy who bought my Breedlove back from me.  They didn&#8217;t have the Seagull model I was looking for (S-series S6 + CW Cedar GII)  but instead I found a <a href="http://www.seagullguitars.com/productperformermjcwgt.htm" title="Performer Mini-Jumbo page @ Seagullguitars.com">Performer series mini-jumbo</a>.  It has a lot of mahogany, a mini-jumbo design and a really great feel and sweet sound.  The guy at the store said it has a spruce top.  So does the technical specs page, but the main product page says cedar.  So, although I am confused, I don&#8217;t really care because I love the guitar.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a great guitar at a super-reasonable price, look no further than the Seagull line.  I am thrilled with playability and tone.  Here&#8217;s a link to their site:</p>

<p>All for now&#8230;.</p>
<p>Peace!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The home page of this site contains my all time favorite picture of me.  It is with Jennifer at Jordan&#8217;s wedding and I think it was taken by Ashley or Hannah.</p>
<p>I retouched my tie using GIMP, because I had used a single Windsor knot (I forgot how to get a nice double Windsor and was in a hurry!), removed the glare from my glasses and I think that was all.  But even though I like the way I look in the picture, that is not why I like it so much.</p>
<p>I like it because of the way <em>Jennifer </em>looks&#8230;the picture captures the way I see her.  And that&#8217;s really what I like about the picture&#8230;it is the first picture that really reflects the Jennifer I see.  So, when I look at the picture, I see us as I see us, and I like the way we look.</p>
<p>It is because we really love each other.  At some point I began praying for a worthy companion.  I know He answered my prayer with Jennifer.  And I thank Him for her.</p>
<p>She is now my wife.  And I praise the Lord for that fact.</p>
<p>That is what I see when I look at my home page.</p>
<p>That is what prompted me to write this post.</p>
<p>That is what I&#8217;ve got to say!</p>
<p>More later&#8230;</p>
<p>Peace!</p>
