Day #2138 (Wed., Nov. 11, 2015) – Little Bobby & The Strat
Katie stayed home from school today due to a teacher’s work day so I got to sleep in a bit (no need to take her to Glenwood).
Little Bobby is 8 months old today. He weighed in at 25 lbs and 3 oz.
My wife took Batman and Robin to the vet today. They got their shots and physicals. I guess Robin scratched my wife badly as she was holding him when a car went zooming by. Here’s Robin’s exam:
“Robin’s” Physical Exam

Batman on the other hand has a heart murmur and we have to keep an eye on him…he might need an operation. I can already hear my dad raging… a heart operation for a cat!!!
Arnesa took Katie to the science museum in Durham as she was having a play date with 7 more classmates as there was no school today.
I let little Bobby play with the tremelo on my Strat this evening (see photo to the right). He likes the tension it provides when he tries to yank it. Of course it eventually ended up in his mouth. He gets really excited when he is near a guitar and especially when daddy plays it.
