Spring Sunday

Spring has sprung and had a great day today! Got up to 66 degrees and got in a 4.5 mile run earlier -- 9'43"/mile pace! Yeah, I know I'm not setting any records, but not bad for me.

This past week I picked up a couple "Instant Tickets" via the Dave Matthews Band Warehouse for the April 18 show in Charlottesville, Va. I'll drive up on Friday and I imagine Ol' Lazy Acres and I will be ringing in my birthday in championship form. Hopefully we'll be able to see straight enough to walk home! :~)

That will be the kick off event to what I'm calling the "Halfway To Everywhere Tour 2009!" Not so much a tour as a state of mind, but rest assured there will be postings from various events and travels throughout the spring, summer and fall. Well, at least two more DMB shows in August, hopefully a U2 show and some international travel as well.

In local news, could the infamous "night mower" be no more? From the looks of it, a contractor cut the lawn today of the one time late-night lawnmower marauder. I'm wondering if this guy is new to the biz as you don't usually see a lawn cut perpendicular to the house and street (click photo for larger view). Maybe it's a new style, but I think most people prefer the parallel lawn cutting method. Who's to say? But I'll keep you updated.

I broke the seal on the lawn cutting season as well, but really only needed to cut the high spots around the house and the majority of the backyard.

- Na Zdravi!

New Woodside Lounge

Opened up the new Woodside Lounge yesterday. For those of you who have visited in the past, this room is at the front of the house but many times went unnoticed by visitors as it was closed off and used as storage. 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 ...
