Royals Buck Night

Jet singing: “Take me out to the baaaaaall game”

Last Friday we took the kids to the Royals game. Initially it was miserable. Getting to our seats with all our gear and what not was pretty rough. Eventually once we got settled the situation smoothed out. It was Buck Night and Fireworks [...]

Tom Petty at the Sprint Center

Went with my brother to see Tom Petty last Tuesday night. It was great. Fortunately there is a positive review posted here. I agree with the majority of the review. The sound was quality but sometimes not mixed as well as expected. The bar was probably set to high for [...]

Ray Kāne (1925-2008)

This one flew right by me. A true pioneer of slack key guitar Raymond Kaleoalohapoina’oleohelemanu Kāne died February 27, 2008. Ray Kāne was like the Elvis Presley of slack key guitar. The riffs and runs were already there but he gave the music style, flair, and character.

There are over [...]

Nate

Well, Morée finally did it. She took Nate (brown dog) to the vet to be put to sleep. He had attacked Jet the other day and gave him three scratches (tiger stripes as Jet called them). Fortunately he didn’t scratch his eye or anything and the “stripes” are almost healed up completely. [...]

Super Size Me

I never saw this documentary so when I saw it was available to watch on google I took the time to watch it. Unlike many peoples back seat driver review of the movie I say its alot more than watching a guy get sick on a McD’s binge. It displays the utter ignorance [...]
