London Bridge Is Falling Down!

I have to say that the past 5 months here at Precor have been just great. I like this job and eveybody here. Staying home is very, very good...

I guess I lied when I said I would update this thing more. Time and work dictate otherwise, but here are a few new things going on...

The Posies are playing a benefit on April 16th. I need to be there. The in-laws are in town, but, if possible I will be able to go late.

I heard the new Jon Auer CD in it's entirety. It is unbelievably good. I made a comment to a friend that I would have loved to hear some of these songs on The Posies record because they are vastly superior to any of the songs on EKOL, but I do understand keeping something personal, personal. I will be purchasing the CD on May 2nd. I encourage any of you reading this to do the same. If there is any justice in this world Jon will have much success with this recording.

Got to go down to California and Arizona last week. Arizona I still dislike, but, since my daily commute here has taught me inner peace with assholes on the freeway, I could handle California with little to no stress showing.

Let's talk about "The Vanishing". This was a movie from 1993 in which the main character played by Kiefer Sutherland pulls over at a roadside gas station in Washington State to allow his girlfriend (a then unknown Sandra Bullock) to use the bathroom and she never comes back out. This movie scared Gabi for months following our viewing. She worried everytime I would go into a convenience store that I might not come out...anyway, last week we were up in North Bend buying shoes for the boy when we stopped at a roadside gas station. When I went in I saw stills from the filming of that movie. I was in the very convenience store in which the movie was filmed!!! I went outside, had Gabi look at it really hard and asked her if it looked familiar. To her it didn't, but as soon as I said "remember The Vanishing" it hit her. It was hard to believe something that scared her 13 years ago was now right before her eyes!

Last...for my British friends...lookee what I saw last week!

I'm so excited that the rest of the world can now hear the record that I have been listening to for so long and not been able to talk about it to anyone. So proud of the boy!
