Though if you want to get technical about it, a good portion of it is just winter/snow music. Gotta admit it was Michael Hedges, tho, who really blew my mind and for years was my idol. ...a girlfriend dragged me to see him at the Stanford coffee shop (just some dude playing for free) and then he'd play for free at the Varsity Theater, downtown Palo Alto, where we punks would convene to watch arty movies. Punk-mods on Vespas!! ...about a year later I dropped outta college and worked for a house-painter and we painted said Varsity Theater, and Hedges would come in to set up, so we got to be on a "hello" basis around town. Really loved that dude and no doubt he's partially to blame for my growing out my punk shaved head and becoming a drop-out-hippie-guitar-player-wanna-be. When I hit 50 about 5 years ago I decided it was now or never to a) ride a motorcycle again and b) learn how to play piano. Done and done! But I still can't read a note of music. ⚠️ Last edited by tdrake on UTC; edited 1 time

Good thing he doesn't read my emails for a living as his sig says. Actually my IT company manages IT for a few law firms among many other professional businesses and if I found out an employee was randomly reading emails I would terminate them without a second thought.

The anticipation to see Bohemian Rhapsody.
A while back I sent to my half-sister the double feature 20th Anniversary of Freddie's passing in London. And my half sister and nieces decided to compete among us who would be the first to see it. I lost it . I haven't seem it yet! But it still amuses me when I see each one of them posing taking selfies with the poster! Note: Sorry about the word salad, not que myself anymore. |

I went for a ride today!
First one in almost a month, I think. Combination of being busy, and just sort of a crap month. Anyway, not too cold out so I went to run some 'errands' while my wife put the tree together. I forgot to get her frozen custard though.... Still some sun left.... 8) |

Cheered me up...a snowman leading a snow dog. Made of real snow, not one of those plastic blow-mold things. When it's too cold to ride it's good to see that at least someone is having fun with the snow! Too bad I was driving by and didn't get a chance to take a picture.

I somehow managed to lose my everyday key set for the Vespa this fall (probably when riding my other scooter, or I would have noticed right away).
I Expected I'd send away the master key to get another made this winter, but it's a bit pricey and complicated..... We have a locksmith in town who already did a great job fixing the lock in my office door a couple of years back. Never met the guy as I was out of town at the time. Sooo, decided it was a long shot, but maybe he could have a shot at my keys, especially the topcase one. Nothing to lose.... Stopped in, showed him the keys. Turns out he has an older Vespa himself. Told me that if I brought the blank, he could cut the Vespa key. Woot! Took a look at the topcase key, walked to his blank rack, went to another rack further back, and was expecting him to give me a verdict. Next thing I knew he'd cut the spare and handed it to me. Guy puts off a really professional and competent vibe, so I'm pretty optimistic we can get the job done. Glad to support this guy. I'll let you know how it works out.... |

I know the reason for this too - brings me straight back to my early childhood. My grandparents used to have real candles in the Christmas tree, as it used to be in the old days. When the adults did their Christmas preparations, I got the huge responsibility to look after the candles. It was like magic, to stare the tree with all the decorations and candles....and feeling the anticipation of Christmas - as a kid do. |

Yeah I remember candles in the tree. I dated a Swiss girl for a long time and her parents were very traditional. Pretty but not something you leave unattended! Very much like my girlfriend at the time

Of course a Christmas tree isn't complete without gifts underneath . Getting my wife pretty things makes me almost as happy as buying things for the 2-wheeled ladies in my life
