My sister-in-law obviously won't be taking her midterms at Pepperdine tomorrow.

Friday Night - New Music

Ok, I am trying to get more current with music. So, here is someone I have just discovered. Eric Hutchinson. What do you think? Perez Hilton is listening to him. And, Perez seems to be able to make or break people these days.

Morning Music

Here's a nice little blast from the past. How 70's is the keyboard player?



I loved Kiki

Betty Grant

It was a very sad weekend for us. Bill's mother, Betty Grant, passed away today around noon. She was at home surrounded by her children, grand children and great-grand child. Betty was a pistol until the very end. We all will miss her very much. Arrangements have not been finalized.

She loved Elvis. This is for you, Betty.

Oh, Stevie

2010 Olympic Tickets

We might want to use our "connections" to get tickets to the 2010 Hockey Gold Medal game...they will cost us a mere $775 per seat.

Congratulations to Al Gore

Statement of Al Gore on Winning Nobel Prize

I am deeply honored to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. This award is even more meaningful because I have the honor of sharing it with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change--the world’s pre-eminent scientific body devoted to improving our understanding of the climate crisis--a group whose members have worked tirelessly and selflessly for many years. We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level.

My wife, Tipper, and I will donate 100 percent of the proceeds of the award to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan non-profit organization that is devoted to changing public opinion in the U.S. and around the world about the urgency of solving the climate crisis.

Good Night Music

Eva Cassidy died in 1996. She was one of those great talents that flew under the radar. Here is a particularly moving performance. It's from a performance at Blues Alley.

A Fall Day at the Farm

This past Saturday we (Tim, the in-laws & my neice Eliot) went up to Ted & Georgean's coffee farm. We had a good time exploring the farm, checking out the chickens and chasing the kitties. We also made home made apple cider from apples picked right from the tree on the farm. Here are a few pictures of the day.

North GA Mountains

We went to our friend Steve's birthday party last night in the North Georgia Mountains. It's about an hour north of us Blue Ridge, GA. Here are just a few shots from Steve and Amado's deck.
