Sleep Walk

Possibly the coolest song ever written...

Santo & Johnny, 1959.

Van Halen: My Future Brother-in-law?

Yup...

That's my sister, Kim, hanging with Eddie.

She's the VP of marketing for Activision, which will be rolling out the new edition of Guitar Hero featuring Van Halen (Eddie, Alex, David, and Wolfgang).

And now that I take a second look at this photo, I think they'd make a good couple too...

Sorry Pete...

It Wasn't Me...

Dang!

I got company comin' by the blog site today...I'd better clean this place up.

Hmmm....

I know: How about a little flower arrangement to spruce things up?

Then I'll show 'em my poetry...

Why Firefighting is Not a Fee-based Service...

Puppy Haiku

My new puppy experience as rendered in the ancient Japanese art form:

Puppy, oh puppy
My toe is not a chew toy
Sharp teeth in soft feet

Puppy, my puppy
Whines endlessly when crated
Romps forever, freed

Puppy, oh, puppy
Wants to play when I’m sleeping
And sleep when I’m up

Puppy, my puppy
Why do you make me wait so?
It’s three a.m.—Pee!

Puppy, this puppy
If you weren’t so very cute
Loaded gun, I’d shoot




Puppy, my puppy
My first born was easier
What was I thinking?

Mystery Train

Always wanted one of these: An Epiphone ES-295...

Modeled after Scotty Moore's Gibson rig...

I know what you're saying.."It's an Epiphone!" But dig this: Upgrade it with some Kluson tuners, Lollar P-90s, and roller bridge...

"Train I ride...is 16 coaches long..."

Smart Cars, Smart Cops

Spotted an off-duty Sheriff’s deputy cruising around town the other day…






Spotted him again later that day, on the job...







Man, things sure have changed since the 1970s...
