I'd love to learn how to play guitar, but I think I have too many hobbies as it is. Nice hat!

Always on the cutting edge of fashion, aren't you Chris? I'm off to Goodwill to get mine now! LOL Have a great weekend man.

Congrats on the raise! Always nice to get that little pat on the back. Now keep the fender out of the closet and keep those hands in shape!

Congratulations to you, Señor Cactus.

I totally remember the sombero slide show!

Rawk On Chris!

And I did also remember how to actually spell SOMBRERO...but my fingers didn't! AHHAHAHAHA

Looking good! Does the hat help you play better?

That hat rocks! Congrats on the raise, too.

Nice hat (good times...), nice raise! sweeeeet.... Congrats!!!

I have the same problem with the connection between my fingers and my brain. Those aren't spelling errors you see in my comments; they're typos.

Good for you picking up the guitar again. I'm very rusty on the piano (even though one sits in my living room taking up space). I play for the girls and that's about it for me anymore.

I had an old boyfriend that tried to teach me to play guitar... I didn't get very far... about the 2nd or 3rd lesson, he then said, you might want to cut your fingernails, and I said he might want to not teach me anymore, cause that wasn't happening.

I figured if all 3 of my brothers could play, I should be able to too, only not at the expense of my nails.

Nice hat. Nice Fender, too. Stay in practice.

I hadn't played guitar in eons, either, but a few weeks ago I played and now I have calluses again, so it doesn't hurt...except for the now-arthritic finger i broke in eighth grade playing kickball. Keep up the good work. ;-)
And to Karen - I always have a hard time sacrificing my female vanity so that I can play guitar and piano. I hate having short nails.

Always nice to read your posts Chris. I've told so many stories ... there's this blog I read. Tonight at a party it was about lettuce smashing and Fahrvergfucked. My life would not be the same with out the Cactus.

One of these days I'm going to start taking guitar lessons. I need to get back to playing the piano too. Someday.

Looks like a nice cold cervesa would look good with the hat and guitar playing. Do you play Flamenco?

Here's to your raise. And I raise my glass to you! Congratulations!

My best to Beth and Mia Bean.

Tootles,
Anni :-)

Those were some kick-ass sombreros you got last year. Congratulations on the raise. The hat will do I guess...

congrats on the raise, love the hats!!

Wooo! Nothing says "celebration" like a sombrero.

So, if next year, you are pictured in a yarmulke, we can assume that things are not going well, work-wise? Love the hat. The sombreros are excellent.

i like the last picture. it has a howdy ma'am quality to it.

A raise is definitely a good enough reason to engage in a "sombrero fiesta!"

Congrats. Very nice hat. Darn it, Annie beat me to the yarmulke joke!

Good job, getting the raise.

My kids would love your hat.

Hooray for more money. It's good to be apprecaited at work. Very good.
