Travel Map

Putting together a travel map. So far the total is up to 300 cities in 36 countries and a some more to pin but I can't remember at the moment. Thought I'd share in the mean time. Still a lot of ground to travel!

Walking in the rain

Just got back from a nice long walk in the rain. I've always enjoyed walking at night in the rain for some reason. A few years ago when I was in Tokyo I took some nice long walks around midnight in the rain. I did that for 3 or 4 nights in a row. Next time I'll have to bring my camera along, saw some good reflections in the puddles. Cosmo is here ready for petting, she was happy to see me get back home.

Thursday

I performed at a private even tonight. Had a nice time and everyone was really friendly. They provided me with some really good red wine to sip on while I was playing, always a plus!

On a separate note, Cosmo Kitty is on a diet. The vet said that she is slightly over weight! I had no idea. So as you can imagine, trying to ask her to cut back on her cat food hasn't been a simple task. I'll keep you posted with how that's going...

Last night's sunset



Okay, now I'm stepping out of the office, just had to post this photo and share the beautiful evening last night.

Stepping out of the office

Stepping out of the office for a bit, please feel free to comment or carry on conversations in the comment section.

p.s. random thought: It's hot out today and all that's left in the box are grape flavored popsicles, that always seems to be a problem. All the other ones get eaten up quickly and the grape ones are left. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think I know anyone that likes the grape ones. Maybe they should just make the box with only orange and cherry instead.

Caught a good reflection in the computer screen while working. The typical recording day, Cosmo on lap.

This Weekend

So much for the Bears winning their first game on Sunday Night Football.....

Sitting here listening to the rain outside as I write, a very pleasant sound. We actually had some thunder storms yesterday morning! Not very common around these parts but great to hear, I think it's left overs from the tropical storm down south. About to have some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. For some reason, I had a major craving for it so I quickly went out to the store and picked some up. I ran almost 2 miles this morning so I feel it's okay to have ice cream tonight.

Speaking of the store, when I was there they had green chiles from New Mexico! Had to grab a bunch of them to take back with me. I was thrilled to see that they carried them, it's that time of year that they're in season. Can't wait to roast them this week.

So I've decided to give the movie Quantum Of Solace another try, just got it on net flicks. I'll let you know what I think. Wasn't sure about it the first time through a few months back. As you know, Casino Royale has been one of if not my favorite movies of all time (I'm sure those of you who have been following my blog already know this) so I set the bar pretty high for Quantum.

YESTERDAY:

I spent yesterday afternoon and evening hanging with my pal Luke out in Livermore Ca at the Guitar Player Live 09'. Man, it's gotta be about a year and a half since I've seen him and it was really cool of him to invite me down to hang. When I got there we walked over to one of the stages and watched the Travis Larson Band rock out for a while, man they were great! Great players and their live sound was killer. We all hung out after their performance, really nice cats. Soon after I went with Luke over to the Bankhead Theater, he was on the judging panel for the guitar player competition. Hung out backstage with him, Jennifer Batten, Earl Slick, Elliot Easton and Greg Hampton. I also sat behind them during the competition and listened to them critique the guitarists after they performed. It was almost like American idol, there were some pretty funny comments back n' forth between the judges. All of us were thinking it's got to be hard to get up there and play in a competition like that. That kind of thing is not for me but I give lots of credit to the players that got on stage.
