Just back from the show. Wow! He was amazing. Unbelievably talented guy.
Little more marijuana being smoked around me than I expected. I thought it was against the law but maybe the law does not apply at the Cains.
Well, anyway, great, great show. (an no, I was not the oldest person there)
It is my kids birthday today, so no Saturday clinic. We had dinner last night at Cafe Ole on Peoria last night. Hope the owners are not in my practice b/c the food was not very good. Nice atmosphere, but I think Bueno is better.
My kids were watching some movie today that had this song-was being covered and not very good. The original was a staple during highschool and early college. Was in a "great?" movie-Valley Girl-maybe Nicholas Cage's first starring role. Also another forgotten great song. Enjoy.
I was just out looking for our son at one of our neighbors house and I saw our next door neighbor outside. She was walking her dog in her yard and reading. The wind was blowing and it was nice and quiet. She has six kids. I am guessing she is stealing some quiet time from her house. So I did not bother her. And sometimes when you need a few minutes away you will take whatever you can get. Because there are those days or string of days where there is no to little quiet time. So even if it just 5 or 10 mins at least it is a little quiet time. Time to catch your breath, zone out or at least get one thought together to help you make through the rest of the day. If you have ways that you steal some quiet time let us know what they are. I am always looking for some tips.
A couple of reminders: 1. Sunscreen is safe for most all babies-for sure over 6 months and better than a sunburn for infants. Use SPF 30 or above. We use Eucerin 30 for our family. 2. Insect repellants: maximum DEET of 10%- on kids 6months and above.
For the older kids who swim alot. You can help prevent swimmers ear by flushing out ears at the end of a swiming day with 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 rubbing alcohol. This works well. DO NOT use this if your child as "ear tubes."
Check this video out-great band, great song--yes I know alot of you were in kindergarten when this came out-but, hey, this is my musical journey. There will be more from this band later. Along with REM, they defined the music of my college years.
ok, finally done with REM-now, you will need to be more patient with me. Some of the next groups/videos will be out of the mainstream
This is from the Stone Roses-amazing band-but very short lived.

Next, my favorite song from the Talking Heads.
More REM -I have seen REM twice, once in OKC in the late 80's and then again in Kansas City in the early 90's. My brother and I would sit around and try to figure out the lyrics. Like Stipe's haircut-no, I did not have a hiarcut like that in the 80's- did see Ferris Bueller this weekend on AMC-what a great movie.
This will be the first of many videos from what is probably my favorite band-this is the first song that I remember hearing by them
The next two videos are not my favorite songs by this band, however, the first is the first song that I remember and the second is certainly one of the most definitive videos from MTV-when MTV actually played music videos:

Enjoy
My soph year in college, made my brother a tape(yes, I am that old)-the main groups were: the Cure, the Cult, and the Call.

I am still on blog leave, but thought that I would begin what I will call a "musical journey" of my life. This will begin around college and hopefully end to the present. There will be links to certain songs by different artists that I liked and still have alot of meaning to me. Music is amazing. It can bring you back to an almost exact moment of your life. I am sure of these links will be very boring to some-however, others may find that we have similar musical tastes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggVy7QsTsPw
We listened to this song all of the time my first couple of years at OU. Still pertinent today
