Finally broke the drought with 2″ of rain over 2 days.

Journey is one of my favorites but never saw them live. Maybe you bumped into this one. It rolled through while I was on Facebook. This guy is encouraged to try out for americas got talent by students at the grade school where he’s a janitor. He would sing in the halls while working. He sang Don’t Stopp Believing and nailed it. Well, he won…[Read more]

Nah, just got lucky. A friend had planned to go but had to sell is tix. Saturday night on campus with nowhere else to go. I thought we were going to watch as piano player / lounge act for the rest of the night when they first rolled the piano on stage. I’ll bet 3/4’s of the kids there never heard of him. The place wasn’t even sold out, maybe…[Read more]

We saw Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden last year. He’s been playing there once a month, and selling out, for about 5 years now. We first saw him back in 1974. He wasn’t even the headliner, opening for Roger McGuinn. McQuinn was the lead for the Byrds before going solo. Anyway, Joel’s band was late arriving due to traffic on the PA Turnpike,…[Read more]

Retro concerns are always iffy on the vocals

Summer has been blown away with the wind from the north.

I hope the weather was better than predicted. It’s been beautiful here, just no rain and the grass flowers and shrubs are toasted.

Gymnastics meet, baseball and football games today, Baseball tomorrow.

Has she danced the recitals? Up on stage for maybe 3 minutes, but you have to watch 12 other groups of kids you don’t know until it’s her turn.

All of the hubbub about a tropical rain deluge and nary a drop fell. Western wind blew it out over the Atlantic. I spent the morning culling dead grass and overseeding for the intended rain, now I have…[Read more]

Supposed to see the remnants of the Texas storm later this PM, but when you look at the radar, it seems the storm is splitting just south of us and heading NE and NW just enough to miss us. We may see 0″ or it could be 3″.

Oldest grandson is playing Pop Warner football, cornerback and tight end. QB rolled out toward him and he had to decide to…[Read more]

too cool for my liking. I prefer hot. I’ve trying to get wifey to consider somewhere down south, but she hates humidity. Arizona and New Mexico are too far from the kiddos.

There you go, a way to keep him a part of the band.

The weather has been perfect, blue skies and mid 70’s, but we could really use some rain.

It’ll be interesting without Dusty Hill on bass. Beard or no beard ? I wonder if they’ll do a missing man tribute at some point. ZZ has its own sound and appearance; I can’t imagine them letting that change in any way.

Neat, always liked ZZ Top. never saw them though. I can’t recall them coming around these parts.

Still hovering around 80 here, but 50s west and north of us. High 50s at night. WE baby sat for my daughter. WE left at 10:30 PM, it was 62 there. Arrived home an hour later and it 72 here.

“Fall is coming word.”

It’s been a month now…1/2″ of rain. It’s probably been the driest summer on record here. 1 1/2″ for July and August.

Ah, the first day back. I remember it well. The boys didn’t care, they wanted to go to a specific restaurant, then they kicked us to the curb. My daughter kicked us away as soon as her belongings were placed in her room. Her last 3 years were in a sorority house so the drop off weas even shorter. We couldn’t even get out of the car.

I presume all went well with the wedding. Having a long weekend had to help.

Son left Sunday. Just as we get everything back in order, daughter calls and comes down Sunday for the night with the fam.

Son and family are staying through Saturday. A bit of a hiccup replacing the AC which was above the 2nd floor ceiling. The contractor couldn’t install the new one since the access hole was too small. They had to hire a carpenter to cut and reinforce the joists above. That took two extra days. Apparently, the AC was installed when the house…[Read more]

No. 2 son and family calls yesterday and says they are coming down. Their AC crapped out and it’s to be 90+ today. Back to entertaining. No.1 son and fam are at the Outerbanks, NC. Daughter and hers are in Cape Cod MA

It’s a vacation week. No kid fams visiting Woo Hoo !
