    I think cabin fever has settled into the McLane household. We are all stir crazy and we are all waiting for the weather to turn just a big so we can go do something. Anything will do.

    I think we’re headed to a farmer’s market or some sort of outdoor deal today. Fresh air will do us all some good.

    In the meantime, as always, I find a moment of solace with some early morning tunes. Here are the next 10 tunes rattling my ear drums this first Saturday in January. As always, completely random and ratings included.

    #1 Replace Me by Family Force 5 ***

    #2 Ancient History by Hawk Nelson ***

    #3 Old Love by Eric Clapton ***

    #4 You Give Me Something by James Morrison ****

    I think things are settling in for us. The house is mostly unpacked with just a few things left to put together and sort out. Yesterday I worked a half day. After work we went to the beach, then dinner at The Corvette Diner in Hillcrest. This morning I’m headed to a test of some content YS is rolling out in Spring 09. Have I said lately I’m the luckiest guy alive? I love my job!

    While I’m off doing all sorts of things today, music is a big part of my day. Here are the next 10 tunes I’m listening to. As always, this shuffle is totally random and ratings included.
