The Creek is Raging

The Woodside creek is raging this morning. Not sure if you can really see the full creek from the photo. If you click it to view full size, you'll see how the creek winds behind the shed and then comes out to the right.

It's been raining since yesterday morning. This afternoon the forecast is a switch to rain and snow, and then all snow overnight with an expected 3"-5" accumulation. That's big news for these parts! I'm looking forward to watching today's weather storyline unfold.

Nowhere to go today. I've got some laundry to do, and already have a NY strip marinating and a Brother Thelonious chillin' in the fridge.

This is a bit of a non sequitur, but the other day I picked up a copy of Mark Twain's "Pudd'n Head Wilson" and ran across a great quote.

"Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry."


Words to live by and not to mix quotes, but I'll leave you with one more...

"Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart."

- Salud!

New Woodside Lounge

Opened up the new Woodside Lounge yesterday.

The new Woodside Lounge has its own TV, even though it's around the corner from the theater room. It just goes without saying, all lounges must have a TV for sporting events. I believe it's in the building code. Music is served up from the stereo system currently residing in the dining room, but I'm thinking of moving it to the Lounge. Today I went streakin'! Remember, use that sunblock out there. - Salud!

Summer Mix 2007

I probably should give this over the weekend to think about it, because there are three songs not included in this year's Summer Mix that I've been flip-flopping over. The mix just seems very tight and I can't fit the songs in without repeating the "essence," "groove" or beat of another song. I think the mixes for me work best when they flow and take you from one place to another musically without beating you over the head with the same style. Another thing I like to do with the Summer Mix is incorporate the old alongside the new. I hate to put two old songs back to back, or should I say two songs from the same era back to back. Now as you look at my mix you'll see some old songs next to other old songs. I guess it's not a hard and fast rule for me, but I try to at least jump a decade between two old songs. Like last year I kept the sound effects to a minimum, using a mix I created of beach sounds for the opening and a crickets sound effect for ...
