Daytona Bike Week is HERE!!!

February 27 through March 8… yeah Baby!!!

Played at the Cummer Museum

Last Tuesday (Feb 24) I had an opportunity to play Bass Guitar at The Cummer Museum Art & Gardens.  We opened for Georgia O’Keeffe and Her Times: American Modernism from the Land Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. 

 It was a 4-piece band including our singer (Keys, Drums, Bass (me) and Singer).  We played from 5pm – 8pm with some small breaks in between sets.  We played Jazz, Bossa Nova, Latin, Brazilian and Portuguese Music (12-15 different selections) .  It was a great evening. 

Joyce and the kids came and saw other friends as well.  Suprisingly the place was occationally packed and busy, depending on the time slot.  The Cummer has many things to offer especially for the kids (lots of hands on activities).  Its FREE admission on Tuesday.  Visit their site at www.cummer.org

I will try to find photos so I can post them.

…sudden change

…lately, I’ve been contemplating of giving up riding (I mean getting rid of the Harley) – for various reasons.  That’s all my thought for the day.

…y’all should have been there (with a camera)

Christmas Eve morning, getting ready to leave for work.  I hopped on my Harley, kicked back my bike stand and I noticed that my shoe laces were untied.  SO, I decided to get off the bike to tie my shoe… then this where the fun starts. 

I put my foot down, slightly stood up and swung my other leg around to dismount.  It didnt even took more than a couple of seconds to I realize that I had forgotten to re-prop my ‘kick-stand’ (what a smart move)…  at this point, its kind of hard to ignore when a 1000-lbs motorcycle is leaning toward your direction.  So to save me some ache, like my last fall,  I let the bike topple to its side (thank goodness for the engine-guards) with me losing my balance as I rolled, and rolled, and rolled out the garage.

It was too funny… I’m glad no one saw me, especially Joyce… she would have laughed… just like when I fell off the ceiling in the garage (remember that?).  But its all good, I didnt get hurt…  but where’s the camera when you needed one.

Global Warming

Today, I received a call from (or at least posing as) “The Alliance For Climate Protection”, an AL GORE Cult group (just my opinion).  He asked if our company was “Green”, so I told him that its kind of somewhat grayish and neutral in color with stucco sidings (but I knew what he was talking about).  He didn’t think my response was funny.  But in anycase, he had asked me if the company was willing to invest in their latest Technological Advancement that (in the future) humans will be able to ADJUST the Sun’s temperature.  SAY WHAT???  So I said, you mean like a thermostat we have at home?  Yes, the same concept he said.  What a SCAM!!!  That’s why GM and these other auto-makers are struggling financially, because they had invested Billions of dollars into these researches (Hybrid Cars for example). 

At this point, my “COO-KOO” clock stated going “coo-koo, coo-koo”.  Wow, these people actually believe in this Global Warming crap (sorry for the harsh words, especially if you’ve already bought into this crap (oops sorry again)).  Actually, I’m more sorry for you.  But I’ll eat my words the day AL GORE is able to install a THERMOSTAT in la-la-land…
