The other night my wife and I sat down and watched both parts of 'The History of the Eagles' on Showtime. I have said many times that they music being produced today can't hold a candle to what we had in the 70's and the 80's and I'll stand by that.  This documentary covered The Eagles all the way from their early beginnings through the infamous breakup and all the way back through their Hell Freezes Over tour and onto today. If you missed it, I … [Read more...]

Thoughts on the Grammy’s…

The other night I had every intention in the world of watching the Grammy's so I could see their all-star tribute to Levon but for the life of me I couldn't make myself do it.

As we were meandering (a word I learned this past week) and talking w/ some of our friends I no … [Read more...]

Remembering 9/11 – Let’s Roll

One of the stories from 9/11 that sticks out in my mind the most was the story of Todd Beamer.  He and a few other brave passengers aboard Flight 93 decided they were going to take matters into their own hands and by doing so, went after their hijackers and forced the plane down into a field instead of allowing it to reach it’s destination, which was likely going to be the White House.  The story goes on to say that shortly before Todd and a few o … [Read more...]
