My Brother - The Jazz Musician

My brother Mike is getting more press everyday and I'm really happy for him. This is something that no matter how many times he heard me and the rest of our family tell him to go out and get a real job, he pressed on and it's finally paying off.

reBlog from lezgetreal.com: Dr. Rachel Maddow Discusses Pelosi’s Comments With Cleve Jones

I found this fascinating quote today:

09/18/09- by Bridgette P. LaVictoire On 17 September, Dr. Rachel Maddow discussed on her show the rather rare emotional statement made by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Her guest to discuss this was Cleve Jones, a colleague of the late Harvey Milk and the man who found his body. Cleve Jones has been an activist for many years. In the course of the segment, Dr. Maddow discussed not only Speaker Pelosi’s view of the violence as being not unlike that of the time surrounding the assassination of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, but also the response out of Republican Minority Leader John Boehner. The reaction of the GOP is that they are not stoking the fears, hatred and anger from ordinary people, but that there are legitimate concerns regarding the policies of President Barack Obama.lezgetreal.com, Dr. Rachel Maddow Discusses Pelosi’s Comments With Cleve Jones, Sep 2009

You should read the whole article.

Designer Cereal...

The Boston Foodie made mention of this great little company in Dover, NH that makes custom cereal for you. You design it on the web and order it and they handmake it for you.

Great idea and worth a try.

Gall Bladder Blues

So, I've been out of commission on the blog front for the last couple weeks due to an unexpected trip to Mt. Auburn Emergency room at seven in the morning. After hours in the emergency room enjoying the nice warm Morphine blanket they gave me I was told my gall bladder needed to come out.

Anyone who has had gall bladder symptoms knows what a trip to hell this is. Those that don't, I suggest to you, BEWARE. Stay away from crazy fatty foods. I know, I know, those are the best kinds but hey listen to me now and believe me later unless you like knives under your ribcage.

So, all is well with me now. The gall bladder came out the next day, I got some nice battle scars to prove it, a lot of my close friends came by to see me and wish me well and I realized that I really did have a family here after all.
