What is it About Cowboy Boots?
There is something about Cowboy Boots. I've asked this a couple of times in the last two or three days. It is amazing how putting on my cowboy boots can nearly instantly make me feel better. No lie.
I have trouble with my feet and I sometimes have trouble with my back. I did some things last weekend that kind of upset both the feet and the back. My back hurt from my left ear to half way down my left buttocks. I was plenty uncomfortable and miserable into Tuesday. I have often said that my cowboy boots were/are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. So my mother says to me,
I Love the DJ

Yeah, who hasn't fallen in love with the DJ. The DJ who mixes the music you love so much and gets it just right. You thought I was talking about that one on the radio didn't you. Ha. I am referring to the really cool iTunes DJ. Trust me no radio DJ could mix what I listen to. For one, no station would allow it. They are all so format restrictive. Not even some of the independents could get it like I like it. I such a varied collection of music that they would be fired for trying it. Once in a while I run across a station that careens wildly from one extreme genre to another. Not very often. So I love the DJ in iTunes. It chooses 15 songs to play and as it finishes one it adds another. I get to see the list of upcoming selections and time my activities around them so I can be closer for my more favorite songs, unlike shuffle where you get a random-ish selection but you never know what's next. Don't get me wrong, I make heavy use of this feature in other circumstances as well. I was voicing my love of the iTunes DJ and some very nice Apple Salesperson expressed how if I loved that, had I tried the Genius feature. Having Birthdays

So, I had a birthday last week. It was one of the big milestones. I think I am much more enthusiastic and positive about it that many people have been in the past. I certainly have no problem telling people my age when the ask. Ok, I don't really look it. I'm getting close. I don't act my age that's for sure. I still love my blue jeans and rock music. In fact in two weeks is the anniversary of Levi Straus patening blue jeans. I think I may have a party to celebrate the occasion. I love my Levi's. I digress. So I don't look my age, I don't act my age so it makes little difference to me to tell others my age if they ask. Actually, I get a kick out of it. Most people don't believe me, I've had to produce my driver's license as proof even to friends or co-workers. As a result I had little issue with approaching such an epic birthday. |
Doing Stuff...this week.

It's been a busy week. This turns out to have been a really good thing. I've been a bit on the go all week. Most nights I wasn't home until almost 9pm or later. Ok, for some of you this is no big deal. For me, this is definitely a change in behavior. It really started at the weekend before. I had been puzzling over how to handle Monday. See my niece had a soccer game that I really wanted to see and Fleetwood Mac was in town and I really wanted to see them as well. So on Friday I had pretty much decided that I would just do both. I get off work early enough to make it to my niece's soccer game, it was about an hour and a half and then I should have about an hour and a half race back across town, near where I started, and catch Fleetwood Mac. I am so glad I did that. My niece's team lost the game 2 to 1. However, they played much better than the last time I saw them and the last time they played that team they lost 5 to 2. It's a really improvement. Oh and Fleetwood Mac The Latest News That's Fit to Print...Or Not.

I can't say there has been that much of note lately. At least not that I thought was really worth writing about. Something happened at my parents' that I thought would make good fodder for this blog. I've forgotten it so I guess not. Oh, wait. I remember it. It will be fun. Guess you'll have to look for it in a day or two. I've now even written it down. This will help. I did go see my niece play soccer for her school team. This is the first year/season she has played for her school. She has played several seasons for the YMCA league. My sister played soccer when she was a kid. She was fearless. I'm really glad to see my niece continue in the sport. I have to say I really like the sport though I admit to not always understanding some of the finer bits. I never played the sport for anything other than Phys. Ed. in school and even then, they sort of kept the ball far away from me. I sure do enjoy watching though. I managed to get shouts of encouragement in, in between my conversation with my nephew about the finer points of the coloring of the planet Mercury for his science project. I'm in the process of that thing people call 'Spring Cleaning', except not really. Last Updated (Saturday, 25 April 2009 09:40) |
