   Weekend Shenanigans: One of my favorite Spandau Ballet songs is "Communication"

   I’m going to fast forward a bit from the last shenanigan. Perhaps I’ll go back here and there and fill in the odds and sods, but there’s something in me that wants to get with the present. But I need to rewind just a little first... Two Sundays ago, I was sitting by myself in the backyard, begging for the hot afternoon sun to bow out. I tucked my chair closer to the house so I could grab some shade and read my book about The Smiths (“A Light That Never Goes Outâ€�) while the people around me booted up their barbeques and opened another cold one. This was Labor Day weekend. Three day weekends are a tricky proposition as I’ve mentioned here before. Mo…

    Pneumonia

    • 462 views

    A friend of mine died today. He was in a nursing home following a heart attack in July. Due to the remote location (Holy Jim Canyon in South OC) it took paramedics a long time to respond and he was without oxygen for 20+ minutes. The anoxia damaged the part of his brain responsible for speech and motor functions, hence the rehab at the nursing facility. He made some progress with words, swallowing liquids, and walking, but seemed to regress in the last few days with fatigue. Blood pressure was detected low a few days earlier, so he was on saline IV drip. This morning, he had difficulty breathing. They called 911, transported him to the hospital, and he was dead …

    Sunday Night Football theme song

    The new chick is okay, I guess. It looks like her face has been sandblasted it is so smooth and fake. They certainly could have shown the body more. But the stupid theme song has always irritated me: "Waiting all day for Sunday Night".... uh, no. Sunday is the day of the Red Zone and Sunday ticket orgy... I'm not waiting for the measly Sunday Night game. It makes no sense.

    For anyone interested. Santa Anita is opening up the weekend of Sept 28th for it's fall meet. They will be having their food truck festival that Saturday, along with a Craft Brew festival. According to the website, 40+ craft brews, and they usually have at least 40 food trucks. They are also having a concert with Shiny Toy Guns and Lose Control. So if you are interested, admission is $5. Get there early for the food trucks, since they form lines quick. I'll probably be there, yelling at horses that I bet on that end in last place.

    Musical instruments you've grown to hate 1 2

    September 12, 2013 by mp170.6

    • 48 replies
    • 1.4k views

    Are there any musical instruments you can't stand the sound of anymore? I played trumpet for a few years beginning in 4th grade and hated it. In the years since then I've grown less and less fond of any brass instruments, particularly in a big band or marching band setting. Solo brass performances can be good depending on the song and performer, but the sound of trumpets, trombones, tubas, saxophones, french horns, etc -- all at the same time -- playing different beats has become unbearable for me at times. A good example of where this drives me nuts is listening to the Rose Parade go for hours with marching band after marching band. What about you?

    Need to purchase one for this winter. We have a pretty long driveway and have been looking at the Ariens Deluxe 28+. There is a dealer here with a limited run that they did with a larger 305cc Briggs and Straton motor for the same price of $1099 as the standard one. We were going to consider used but it seems like that is not a good idea.
