I’ve been digging around on a desktop machine that I don’t use much these days, and came across a bunch of video from So What performances. It will take a while, but eventually all the stuff that doesn’t make us cringe will be online.
Head on over the to Video page and check them out. Let me know what you think. Here’s one to get things started.
It has been raining a lot lately here in Southern California. In between two days of almost an inch of rain each was one bright, sunny and warm day. The rain combined with Suzanne being out of town had Django bouncing off the walls. When Suzanne is traveling he usually hangs with me at the office during the day, which is a departure from the daily walks he takes with her.
Rather than our usual walk around the horse trails near our house, we decided to drive a couple miles down the road and hike into the Cleveland National Forest, which we hadn’t done in quite a while. There is a seasonal waterfall that is pretty unique for this area, referred to as the desert mountains, that is reachable with a moderate hike. With all the rain lately, that felt like a good goal.
In 1996, Roget’s Playground formed in San Diego with yours truly on guitar. We were one of those hard to classify bands — kind of adult alternative with a bit of a jazz influence at times. I just discovered the one CD we recorded, Periodic Table Manners, is available on iTunes in iTunes Plus format. The CD was recorded within the first year of us getting together. I have a lot of fond memories of this time in my life, and I still have the band website archived here. “Quiet” was always my favorite track on that CD.
From the Ramona Sentinel:
Effective late Monday evening, Oct. 29, Ramona Municipal Water District canceled its Unsafe Water Alert and reported that its tap water is safe to drink.
We now return to our previously scheduled life, already in progress.
We have decided to hang out in Mira Mesa for at least another day, waiting for the water service to be restored. It might take most of the weekend to get service working in all areas of Ramona.
Try to imagine a high energy 75 pound dog that is used to daily multiple mile hikes in the trails and canyons, and coop him up in a house for a week. Ready to go home? It’s been almost a week. Yeah, we’re ready.
