Quoc Bao obviously likes to show off his little chick. No crime in that. She actually looks pretty cute.

I am proud to announce that the top two levels are completed. I will be starting on the basement next week. I was working all day Saturday and my wife came today to clean after my sloppy spots as well as to keep me company.

My sister-in-law and her husband went to New Jersey for the weekend and they dropped by Philly to pick up the kitchen ventilation system for us as a home-warming gift. That’s not all. They’ll even install for us too. Aren’t they great?

With the progress we’re making, I am pretty sure we’ll be able to move in no later than mid March. These weekends have been hell for me. Working from seven to seven is wearing me out, but the pain will be over soon. I can’t wait. The good thing about working long hour is that I get to hear a lot of great jazz. My play list for this week includes Billie Holiday, Wynton Marsalis and Oscar Peterson.

We love the new heat unit. Unlike my sister-in-law’s Carrier, which runs like a factory, the Trane XL15i built like a tank but runs like a Mercedes. We also have the duct cleaning scheduled for this coming Tuesday. Hopefully I can take that day off to be there when they do the cleaning as well as to work on the house.

Someone sent me this wedding slideshow and asked me if I know the song and the artist. The singer is definitely Frank Sinatra, but I don’t know the title of the song. Please take a look and see if you can figure it out.

A thirteen-year-old boy becomes a father. And I thought my life is over way too soon.

Simmons College has a new design. I like the new function where you click on the nav, you’re not leaving the homepage.

Heard this song on the radio last night as a tribute for Blossom Dearie who has such a sweet and unique baby-doll voice. I love the way she sings the time table. Can’t wait to play it for the little guy.

Weezy’s new rock joint (on his playlist). Man, this guy is mad original.

TMZ has obtained a photo of Rihanna taken after Chris Brown allegedly beat her. Chris’s career is definitely done.

My man Snooks Eaglin died of a heart attack yesterday. He was 72.

I’ll take off a day off tomorrow for the heating and air conditioning installation. I’ll also do some more painting while the technicians do their job. This weekend my sister-in-law and her husband will be in New Jersey so I’ll be painting all by myself. If you’re in the area and have absolutely nothing to do, come by. I’ll have some great jazz music.
