Lotsa Candles

There are two birthdays in the family today that I want to mention, My nephew Matt and my niece Rachel.

I don't think either of you guys read my luxurious, creamy blog, but if you do, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Is That An Ocarina In Your Pocket?

Matt was first to hear the strange sound, and then Brian. Matt followed it into the bathroom and said that it sounded loudest in there. Brian went in and he didn't think so.

It was a strange haunting sound, constant with some vibrato, reminiscent of the sound generated when you run a wet finger along the rim of a wine glass.

And it seemed to be coming from everywhere. Matt chased it to the kitchen but Brian again didn't think it was coming from there. I went upstairs and it got very quiet, again when I went into the basement and in several other corners of the house.

Then I heard Brian yell "Matt, its coming from you!"

We all ran in to see what it could be.

Matt pulled his iPhone from is pocket. He has an application called "Ocarina" that turns the iPhone into a wind instrument that will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played Zelda.

Seems he had bumped the phone and activated the Ocarina app, which had been emitting the strange haunting sound that seemed to follow him around the house.

Mystery solved.

Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday Matt! Shh...don't tell Rachel I said that.
