First Frost

Happy Friday!

Our First Frost of the season is on its way this evening. Yes, it gets cold here in the south too!

It may be a little early, but I couldn't think of a better choice for a chilly eve than Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale. Actually, most of the winter seasonal brews have already arrived on the shelves.

Election Day was earlier this week, and it always surprises me how empty the polling places are on non-Presidential years. There wasn't even a line when I voted, and here in Charlotte we were voting for a new mayor!

In other news... I don't mind that the Yankees won the World Series, but I hate that it had to be the Phillies taking the loss. They've accomplished so much in the last couple years, and hopefully they can bounce back next year!

I'm also afraid it may be my fault the Phils lost. I was wearing a Shruty's Pub sweatshirt during all their wins in the post season. That was until Game 6, I forgot to wear it! Sorry fellow Phillies fans!

Regardless, its time to get over the Phils and look forward to the Eagles match up this weekend with the Cowboys. Let's hope the same Eagles team shows up that put the smack down on the Giants last weekend!

- Salud!

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 ...
