The boy is asleep, Stef is out with the girls, what's a guy to do?

I'm planning to build a table using the 1 page plan I found on the internet, plus my marked up drawing to adjust dimensions, and the materials shown below.

I'd like to get it assembled and sanded before bed, but I'm getting a late start and I gotta deal with the boy if he wakes, so we'll see how this goes...

June Bloom

The working title for this playlist was The Dark Side of June (though we're strangely lacking any Floyd...).

We moved to a new method of creating the playlist, using Spotify's Soundrop app. It seems like it makes the list more collaborative, and even allows you, our readers, to contribute. We'll simply create a playlist out of everything in the room at the end of the month (see below).

Big month for music, I discovered "Call Me Maybe" and went to 3 concerts - Scorpions at Shoreline, Genentech Gives Back concert featuring Lifehouse, Jennifer Hudson, and Bruno Mars (who was fantastic!) at AT&T Park, and the Avett Brothers at the Greek. All 3 show were a lot of fun and good reminder of how enjoyable live music can be.
