what is planetickle?

it is actually planet-tickle, but if you’ve ever received a cd from me, you’ve seen planetickle before. it just looks better. feels right. so we went with that.

in an effort to keep our friends and family up to date with what is going on in the north pole, we’ve decided to enter the interweb nation and start a blog. we also figured it’d be a great way to keep up with lydia’s formative months. we’ll see how long it lasts…….. we’ll also start a glossary so you can keep up with some of the lingo and cast of characters. like seinfeld, it’s kinda a story about nothing. they’ll be lots of talk about eating out, cute baby pictures, music, pop culture, poopie diapers, etc….doesn’t that sound rad?

4.26 – 5.2 messersmith & more birthday

more potty practice for lydia. gotta get her reps in. she wasn't pleased to see the camera


on tuesday night, i rallied up a good group to check out the jeremy messersmith new cd release party at kings.

kings is the neighborhood cafĂ© and wine bar a couple of blocks from our house and they host lots of local live music events. one of my favorite local musicians, jeremy messersmith was celebrating the release of his new record, “the reluctant graveyard”. the album was going to be released the following week, but kings was going to play it in its entirety, and the then jeremy was going to dj afterwards.

great cd. i highly recommend it and checking him out live when he comes to your town. we had a great night and got to hang out with him for a bit.

here i am regaling him with a super interesting story.

he even gave us download cards for the new cd. awesome.

i took lydia for a weeknight out to the moa to give sweetie sweets some time alone. we ate dinner at a non-descript asian place in the food court


nothing special and lydia was not feeling it.

i then took her to noodles to get some potsitckers. she loves them. success.


lydia found a nice chair.

on friday, lara’s birthday continued. she received a birthday coupon to bennihana, so we had to go and figured lydia would enjoy it.

if you are not familiar, this is one of those places where the you sent in groups around a large grill, while the chef entertains you with jokes and acrobatic cooking.

you get fun paper decorations

you get to wear goofy hats.

witness trickery.



check out the rice heart.

receive stickers.

and, of course, another happy birthday song (video).

on saturday night, we took lydia to downtown hopkins, to check out their presentation of click, click moo.

a popular childrens story, lydia loved the live play and stood mesmorized for most of the show.


did i mention that we have decided to put our house on the market? i know. that’s crazy talk. we love our house, but with baby #2 on the way, a yard, larger kitchen and new school boundaries would be greatly desired.

so, on sunday, we decided to do a little house hunting in linden hills. spring is on the way, and lydia got a nice shot with some tulips.

lydia and i killed some time at the linden hills playground while sweetie sweets ran a quick errand.

lydia gave her stamp of approval for this playground.

we also looked at a house near marathon sports. the house was nice but was across the street from this gem.



i think we'll pass.
