Bringing home our rescue dog today! His name will be Pasha.

Forty years ago today we went to see Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones play at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. Returning home, a letter was written, then forwarded on. The following year, a mailing tube arrived with two things inside; this:



The other thing was a letter asking that, in lieu of payment strictly for the poster, I send a money order as a contribution to the "Haight Ashbury Medical Centre" in San Francisco, for $10.00. It as a pleasure to do so.
It turns out this poster has become quite valuable, especially since a second printing was done, with an artistic correction made to the original by David Singer, the artist.

Last time I checked, both acts are still with us. As far as the Civic Arena goes, well...

Fritos have less sodium than Cheetos

Watching reruns of Leave it to Beaver have made me realize that this was once a great "life lesson" television show, having parents ask themselves the question "What would I do if my child did that?"
Plus, the use of the word "onacounta" is great.

Last night, onacounta we had nothing better to do, Mrs. BigWillie and myself, joined some friends of ours for a night with The Temptations at Pine Knob. (I'll never call it DTE....) I have to say, for a man of 70, "Big Daddy" still can shake it down. I was expecting it to be more of a review band type of situation, but the group gave the group I saw around 1974-75 a run for their money. All of the energy was still there, maybe more. First class showmen, still to this day. Can't wait for Yes and Procol Harum, to compare shows to their pasts.

The stories about the "Branding Police" at the Games in London are funny, with the one about the butcher being the best so far (second most branded identity in the world, I hear).

...Really?

But Fritos are so salty i'm surprised.

[St. Michael (the Red Wing)]

Fritos are salty I've been addicted to them lately. Can't get enough of them Fritos

I always call it Pine Knob as well, never liked the name change.

Yes, that is why I was checking. Quite surprising considering how salty they taste.

Vacation over, back to work

[St. Michael (the Red Wing)]

Just got home from picking up the little one. Now it's time to pop open a bottle of Chardonnay and relax.

[cusimano_brothers]

The most recent hydro & water bill arrived yesterday. I've had better news in my hands.

[St. Michael (the Red Wing)]

Going to be a scorcher today I think. No air in my place. Day could be interesting
