Nice, but why so much?

Charles,

I have a question. Why so much for this guitar? I have played a few in my day and some have been wonderful. But that much for a used guitar. Wow. How much are they new? It's also black, cool but very different for an acoustic.

Doggy Heaven

Lovely loves dogs. She loves all kinds of dogs. She has one here with us and one at her mother's house. So while Shamoopie was out of town. Lovely (who is 11) and I agreed to dog sit for some friends of ours. They have two very nice dogs that get along just fine with the two we have here. One of our dogs is Shamoopie's dog but that is a whole other story. She is not just a dog. She is the smartest dog I have ever seen and Shamoopie and she are Extremely codependent. The dog was more depressed that Shamoopie was gone that I was.

Lovely normally sleeps with her dog but since Shamoopie was out of town all the dogs got to sleep with her in her room. She asked for it. She got it. Lovely was in doggy heaven. She had all the dogs.

What she didn't realize was that no one gets to sleep in doggy heaven. Because dogs are always moving and every time Lovely would move one the dogs would whine to be petted. Or a dog would jump on or off the bed. One of the visiting dogs has the ability to take all the pets you can give her and then ask for more, even if it is three o'clock in the morning. The other dogs then wanted to check and see what the other dog is getting and well needless to say Lovely didn't get any sleep or at least not as much as she wanted. She had to move dogs all night and tell them to lie down. Chase them off her bed. I bet it was funny to watch. Too bad I was fast asleep in the other room. :)

The next night Lovely only wanted two dogs and the other two stayed with me. Things seemed to go much better with only two dogs and both of us slept well.

So much for doggy heaven.

She's back

Shamoopie is back. Hurray! She has informed me that Blogher was a success and that she had fun. Even if she did miss me, a little. I picked her up at the airport and could hardly lift the bag full of SWAG that she got. (I think I hurt my back!)

So far I don't think that I have heard all the stories or seen all the bills from this thing yet. But I will, I will. Apparently Amy Sedaris is crafty. Who knew. ;)

Well anyway I am glad that she is finally back. It seemed like forever that she was gone.

Kiss this

Paul Stanley of the band Kiss had to back out of a show because of heart problems. He probably just got a look at Ace Frehley without his makeup. :)

They left one out...

The Spice girls are getting back together. They have left one out of the group. They left out the Shamoopie Spice. She can sing and play the piano at the same time. In high heels! Dancing may be a problem. :)

Shamoopie...I miss you

Most of you may know that Shamoopie is not at home. You are probably with her at the conference. I miss her already. She apparently did not want me to feel so lonely since she has left me a little surprise like this....

It is a picture of Andy Summers from the band The Police. On the same Guitar Player cover that she followed me around the house with. This time it says "Thanks for coming to my concert. Sorry I was rude before. I'm a bitter little man."

I found it in the master bathroom on the mirror above my sink. I believe that it was left there so I wouldn't miss it. I am afraid to look anywhere else in the house. :)

I miss you Shamoopie. I love you. You all need to be nice to her at this conference.

20th Post

It is fitting that my 20th post is about what happened a year ago today. The sweetest woman in the world married me. For me it has been the best year of my life.

We did it on the spur of the moment because of all the turmoil going on around us and for me it was my best decision ever.

I love you Shamoopie! Happy Anniversary.
