I just saw coverage of the earthquake on the news. A "little" one, dad???? Geez, it looks like it was a pretty big one to me. I'm glad everything and everyone is ok there for you. Scarey!

Goddess Fest was fun. it's always cool to perform with a huge PA system with a pro behind the board. Click the image for more pictures.

Asshat.

I'm moving to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come. Ian and I are taking off on August 9th. Stopping in SLC to see Leisl the first night, somewhere in/around Denver the 2nd night and KCMO for good the 3rd. I've got a job - a great one - lined up there, the girl of my dreams, and an orchestra. Alek and Dalin moved into their own place and are staying here. Ray is going to rent the place we've been in here.

Wish me luck and love :-D

Curtis,

George called me, sorry you feel that way. Although, I honestly can't remember the last time I heard from YOU. I'll find somewhere else to stay in Denver. Would have been nice to see you, meet your wife, etc. Whatever. I'd email you, but the address I have for you bounces back.

I need correct/current phone numbers for Curt/George and Leisl, please :) email cellotramp@gmail.com

Brian is having platelet rich plasma injections in his elbow again tomorrow. Think happy thoughts that this is last treatment for him.

'Nother surgery on board. *sigh* August 13 I'll be having my old arthritic big toe knuckle replaced with a shiny new titanium one. If you're not squeamish (like I am), there are some graphic photos of a surgery similar to what I'll have here.

Old SCHOOL KID IN ARIZONA :


New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME) !



Since the Pledge of Allegiance And The Lord's Prayer Are not allowed in most Public schools anymore Because the word 'God' is mentioned....

A kid in Arizona wrote the attached


NEW School prayer :

Now I sit me down in school,
Where praying is against the rule

For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.

And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.

The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.

In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks..

They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.

It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.

But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd

It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.

So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!

Amen



Jesus said,

'If you are ashamed of me,
I will be ashamed of you before my Father.

The video is low res and the vocals aren't mixed very loudly, but this show was a lot of fun!

happy 4th
