Just wanted to write a message to thank everyone on my Facebook, MySpace and Twitter sites for the nice Father's Day greetings this past weekend and share a little about the fun Father's Day I had.

If you've been to my Facebook site, you might know by the photos I posted there that my brother Peter was in town and visited.  He brought his two daughters, Claire and Senna, to our house for a fun family hang together with my wife, Elisa, and my three girls, Aislynn, Kaylie and Sheridan.  Senna and my two older girls are each one year apart in ages and they never have a problem hanging out, even though they don't get to spend time together very often.  As they say, blood is thicker than water.

So, we had a beautiful day.  The sun was out but not too hot, as it can be here in So. Cal.  Elisa prepped all of the food and I barbequed some chicken (maybe a little too dry, but with chicken, I prefer OVER to under-cooked).  The girls played Wii games and showed Uncle Peter their Guitar Hero III prowess.  Even Claire and I got in on that action.  Then, as planned, I played Peter a game of Wii bowling that I was challenged to and I lost in my own house!  You'll get yours!!!

I also got him to strap on a bass guitar and play a little with me on drums in my new little music room/vocal studio that Elisa and I just recently created in one of the rooms in our house.  Since that's been a rather popular theme on Peter's website for a while, I had a feeling those photos of him "suited up" would get quite a lot of attention, which is why I made sure Elisa snapped a couple.  That and the fact that I don't have any photos of me on drums with him playing bass from the Chicago 17 Tour we did together.  And, I only have a couple funky old pictures of me playing drums with my brother Tim on bass at a gig in a C&W lounge we did in the 80s.  You'd think that as brothers we'd played together a lot, but no, not true.  Other than the Chicago tour, of course, when I played drums along with Danny Seraphine on a couple songs, my brothers and I have not played together much.  That tour was the bomb, though.  But, I'll jump at any chance I get to play or sing with my bros. - and sisters, for that matter!

I really hope everyone had an enjoyable Father's Day, too, and for now check out my Facebook site for the photos (while I'm still learning to post them here).
