Wow - 3 pictures! All things I love. First is Goldie, of course -in her 20's, best blonde I know of. The Moodies - kept me sane in the70's. Finally, a nice watercolor of one of the creek crossings in Sabino Canyon (Tucson). Sept 17 is my Birthday. Born in the last year of WWII. I am pleased to say I have some memory of the 50's (Elvis on Ed Sullivan, Bandstand, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee, Little Richard, Rick Nelson, do-wop, etc. The 60's, I remember very well. Beach Boys, Beatles, Franki Valli, Supremes, MoTown in general, Stax/Volt, the Stones, Hendrix, Janis, Airplane, Moodies, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters, Procol Harum, Dylan, Who, Neil Young, etc. The 70's was Moodies, Stones, The Band, Dylan, Donna Summer, Talking Heads, etc. The 80's was good for REM, Hall & Oates, and a lot of decent music I can't remember very well. My daughter liked Bowie, Hall & Oates, stuff like that. The 90's, can't recommend much, and definitely nothing worthwhile in the 2000's, except old fogies doing good new work (like Neil Young, Who, Stones, Bob Dylan). Sue and i are survivors, still living the Dream.

I've got nothing to say, but it's OK; good morning, good morning, good morning-a!
(followed by great, GH guitar rif)
My birthday September 17; 63. Wife and I are going up to Wally World, for two days, staying overnite at the Movies motel. Take the bus around the World, no worries. Probably to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, maybe to MGM (Movies). Crowds shouldnt be too bad this time of year. Hope it doesn't rain too much. Still hot and humid in The Swamp. Determined to have a good time anyway.

We moved our offices Monday. No, the above pic has nothing to do with that - My grandmother used to have one of those, and old 78's. Low-tech is best! Just crank it up, and put the nail int eh groove, and it plays music. The new office is nice, not scummy yet. Only about a mile east of the old one, but closer to my house (about 5 min. drive now, instead of 10). That's great. I figure about 2 more years, till the wife wants to seriously move to Tucson, so will enjoy it for know. Not much going on for us this Labor Day weekend, except some yard and house chores - what fun. Maybe will see son, Mark and his wife, Betsy (maybe not). You know how 30ish kids are - they think we are a burden, most of the time. Were a lot more interesting than they give us credit for. They don't want to remember that they got to be the independent, smart and successful people they are because we raised them right. Oh well.
