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.

Hey, Joel!

I just wanted you to know that Billy Joel has NOTHING on you, my friend! I loved your version of "Angry Young Man" and knew as soon as you played the first few notes what song you were doing.

My husband and I have seen Billy Joel in concert three times (years and years ago!) and he is phenomenal. He plays that song even faster in concert than he does on the CD, and he's just amazing. I must say, you play a wicked piano and I'm sure Billy Joel would be proud!!!! (In fact, I think Fair Oaks Church has its very own "Piano Man"!!)

Fondly,
Dana Molaski
