Nicknames and re-released albums...

A few weeks ago, Made in Mexico records announced the re-release of Damien Jurado's most sought after album "Gathered in Song." A live performance in a friend's living room in 1998, it is easily one of his most touching albums. The re-release includes the original 5 songs, and 5 demos for "Rehearsals for Departure", his 1999 album. The first several hundred copies were autographed, so that added to the appeal as well. "Simple hello" is my favorite song so far, but the entire deal is very very good.

On another note, Sarah and I were discussing the approximately 3 million nicknames that we have for Hezekiah. Kiah... Helmet... Monkey... Dookie... Zeke... Manny... Tax Deduction...

In fact, his name has sparked so many conversations in our friends and family that we thought we'd finally reveal the REAL reason that we named him (HE)zekiah im(MAN)uel. That's right. We named him after the Master of the Universe himself. He-man.

Here is a picture of Kiah in his appropriate outfit.

He should grow up to be a pretty tough guy. Ever heard of the Johnny Cash song "A Boy Named Hezekiah Immanuel? Yeah, great song.

I am still alive, just not very talkative. Very cute pic.

He's starting to look less like Don Rickles and more like Michael Chiklis - not buff, "The Shield" Chiklis, but the chubbier, "Commish" Chiklis.

Or maybe I'm just amusing myself by comparing him to every bald, white celebrity.
