Hola!

Transatlantic flights wipe me out. Chalk it up to being an old man I guess. But after a connection through a dark deserted Heathrow, I arrived in Barcelona for the 41st Barcelona Jazz Festival and within a couple of days, semi-disaster had struck. Not to me mind you but to American jazz saxophonist <B>Joe Lovano</B> who fell, not once but twice and broke an arm and a shoulder. He had to cancel his show here in Barcelona, his European tour and then had surgery with the chief orthopedic surgeon of Barcelona’s much beloved soccer team, FCBarcelona, presiding. I saw Lovano this morning as he was leaving for a flight home. He had both arms strapped up in this elastic, soft cast contraption but was in good spirits and ready to head back to NYC. He says he’ll be able to play again in about 15 days, but he’ll have to lay off performing until after the first of the year. No word yet however on what caused his tumble, which is the bigger question.

What kind of stinkin' idiots...

What sort of moron would think this is a good time to be a hiking tourist along the Iraq/Iran border?

Geez, I don't think they are spies, either, but if they had penalties for degrees of stupidity, these guys might get qualified for being hung on that alone!

Three dopes from America decide to hike the Iran border?

Innocent mistake?

Gol' durn that's dumb.

a new chapter in my life..bye bye NC..hello Ohio.

wife got a really, really amazing job with Veterans Affairs as a dental hygenist. Those jobs are as rare as hens teeth. The benefits and whatnot are so great that noone ever leaves..so this is fantastic news..however..I am a southern boy at heart, and have no idea what to expect in Ohio. We will be moving to Chillicothe. Any good audiophile/hifi shops there?? Ohio Audiophile society?? any of you stereophile folks in Ohio?

A GREAT Anniversary...

20 years since the Berlin Wall started to fall.

Even having grown up in the cold war era, it seemed absolutely unnatural to have such a crazy thing.

A joyous day for the world when it came down.

Reagan and Gorby made a great pair.

Anybody catch the killer History Channel special about the Wall? The stories of people who escaped were fantastic - vaults, baloons, mini planes, tunnels...great examples of human spirit.
