Nissan Leaf
A couple months ago I registered to purchase a Nissan Leaf. This car is all electric (not a hybrid) and gets 100 miles per charge. Today I received an update that things are progressing along and I should hear more by June 30.
While it’s not the cheapest car in the world, and 100 miles isn’t very far, for most of my driving. Where most of my driving consists of going to the train station each day and picking up Becca at daycare (10 miles total), then maybe running around to the Mall or Walmart (maybe another 10 miles). This vehicle would really suit my needs. I’m excited to be making progress on this!

What’s been happening lately…
It’s been a while since I update The Show. Most of the time my updates are over on Facebook , but honestly, I like to write a long prose now and then.
Current Job…
I don’t want to say where I work, as I need a security clearance to enter the building. It is located in downtown DC, next to where the old Convention Center is located. The work itself is God-Awful boring. And there really isn’t much of it. I work full-time, don’t get me wrong, but there isn’t anything to do. So I take the money while it’s there, who knows how long it will last. This leads to the next topic…
Poker
I’ve been playing a lot lately, essentially warming up to the World Series of Poker, that starts for me in about 3 weeks (June 3). I can’t say I have a lot of wins to show for my efforts, but it helps to practice. I’ve also done me annual effort to pick up some poker books to try to gain strategy. I don’t know if all this will pay off, but it’s worth a try. As I’m writing this, I’m playing on Full Tilt. This really isn’t unusual, especially on weekend nights.
I’ll probably write about my poker exploits from time to time. In short, I play when I can (live or on-line) and do the best I can, and try to improve over time.
Concerts…
It’s been a little slow since the Fall as for shows. Most bands don’t tour over the winter. This past week, The Donk and I went to the Pearl Jam show at the renamed Nissan Pavilion, Jiffy Lube Live. 
It had been a while since we both went to a show together, and we had a good time together. The next gig I go to will hopefully be John Eddie at Rams Head in Annapolis. I need to get a sitter for the night.
After that, Counting Crows in July (maybe?), Tom Petty in August, and Rush in September.
The Home front
I don’t remember if I posted, but Teri (the wife) is pregnant with child number 2. This time it’s a boy, and as for names, Jr. Yes, Michael Richard Young, Jr. Some people have razzed me a little about being and egomaniac, while true, I don’t see anything wrong with the name. Everyone knows how to spell it.
The due date is July 27. Although we probably won’t make it this late, and Teri is having a C-Section. Her body just isn’t built for having a vaginal birth. Next time some decent ultra-sound pictures come through, I’ll post them. Or just post pictures of the birth.
We have also had a bunch of home improvements done. The most striking is the deck area. Instead of just a deck, it’s now a fully enclosed and covered porch.
On the interior, we have a new front and back door. And we have a new fireplace. With the new fireplace, a new TV has been added. This is a Vizio 55 inch set. I’m pretty happy with it so far and I’m getting into the Blu-Ray thing. I’m sure I’ll post more on this later.
Now that everything is brought up to speed. I’ll try to post regularly. Fiber for the blog so it’s regular.
