mum and harlan

mum and harlan visited here with holly and i recently, their entire stay with us was 6 weeks out of their 6 1/2 months on the road. i had some time off of work as did holly and we made a few really fun trips with them, the other time was hanging out @ home and them being apart of our regular busy life here.

williamsburg va, busch gardens, nyc and gettysburg pa were the biggies.

mazda 3

new car

dodgie neon

sold my neon. i paid $500 for this little beauty nearly 5 years ago against my brother phil's wishes from a guy at church. he was sure it was going to break soon hence the wonderful deal.

the speedometer rarely worked nor the odometer which always made life interesting. there was no air-conditioning and it squealed @ traffic lights when the fan was on sucking the power outta the engine.

despite it's short comings it was a really good car needing a little work over the years but for the most part it treated me well. 

barry manilow

if i hadn't forgotten my camera i would of taken my own photo of barry manilow last night (sat feb9th). however the photo wouldn't have been as clear from my seat in row Q up in the who knows where. our friends (die hard bm fans) said there were tickets for $9 available and asked if we'd like to come...sure why not, you can't even see a movie that cheap these days.

to our surprise our seat were upgraded to a better section and although we weren't on the floor rather off to the side, we could see really well as long as the ladies in the row in front of us weren't standing for yet another one of their favorite manilow songs.

my favorite part was when they showed one of his first tv appearances singing 'mandy'. as they showed him singing and playing it on the screen from the 70's he rose from underneath the stage playing the same song on the piano and singing a duet with himself.

holly and i didn't really know any of his songs but it was enjoyable from a purely entertainment point of view. good concert.
