A little piano music

·

So the Hospital won’t let me back in because visiting hours are over.

I went back to the lodge and snuck in a little piano playing by the common area.

Thought I’d share this, because I’m bored and I couldn’t annoy Natalie while she’s recovering.

10 things

·

10 things I realized,
while watching the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards.

First,
I don’t enjoy it anymore.

Second,
How I miss the good old days of “Real” Rock and Roll.

Third,
Where did “Hard Rock” go?

Fourth,
In my day, when an artist sings a ballad,
the audience uses their cigarette lighters for effects.
Now, they all use the glow on their cell phones, and raise them up high.

Fifth,
It doesn’t matter if you can perform or not, it’s all about the image.

Sixth,
Since everything is all about image, the true message of the song is forgotten.

Seventh,
Lenny Kravitz, (a Jimi Hendrix wannabe), was a presentor
and was given the chance to perform with Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder.
And they only allotted 30 seconds to pay homage to Ray Charles.

Eighth,
What kind of a name is HoobaStank?

Ninth,
I should have watched the Olympics Closing ceremonies instead.

Tenth,
As I quote Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon,
“I am getting too old for this crap.”

The longest road

·

I always wondered where would the longest road be.
Where you would feel both anxiety and eagerness
to reach your destination.

Is it the Trans Canada Highway?
Is it the desert highway in China?
Is it the Highway Tunnel in Norway?

No.

I have found it.
I have found the longest road.

First let me tell you this,
My son Tyler has been sick for three days now, with a burning fever.
He vomits everything he eats and you could tell he is not feeling well,
and totally miserable.

So Tracy and I decided to bring him to the hospital.

And there my friends, is where I found the longest road.
Where it feels like you were never going to get there.

Now, I realized, there is also one other road that concerns me.
Tyler’s road to recovery.
