Catch a Rising Star

The Yarbles (circa 09) will appear again at St Johns 'No Fest', @ Patty's Homeplate @ 2:30. Nick, Quinn & Jack are ready to rock.This is from last year and it is worth mentioning that it was recorded on his Dad's cell phone. Also, Nick is singing into a guitar microphone, which didn't help. I'll post next week if anybody records and uploads their set.

Smells like summer

My friends Norah and Margaret came by yesterday with strawberries and blueberries from Sauvie's Island. The last strawberries I bought from Safeway were big and red, and even tasted and smelled vaguely like real strawberries. Of course they were as expensive as they were tasteless, so I ate them out of principle. So, yes, I am enjoying my fresh berries this morning and thanks ladies! For Father's Day my stepson Nick rolled me over to our local movie house, the totally cool St Johns Twin Cinema, to watch 'Up'. Another home run for Pixar. Beautifully drawn (oops, they don't "draw" anymore, do they?), really funny and heartwarming. You'll love Kevin & Doug! We stopped at our friend Jeffrey's gelato shop next door to grab a pint to go and shoot the breeze for a minute before rolling home. Wimbledon starts today (speaking of strawberries) and once again I'm not seeded. With Rafa out, Fed's chances of getting that 15th slam look pretty good, but look out for Murray. Peace

Vote for Pedro

and your wildest dreams will come true! Don't know how it panned out for Pedro's constituents, since there was no sequel to 'Napoleon Dynamite', but Barack's got a chance. For starters, he's not going to meddle in State's rights regarding medicinal marijuana. Poor pharmaceutical companies. I'm getting all choked up for them. If I let myself worry about HMO's getting cut out of the l$$p, I'm afraid I'll just fall to pieces!
