I had had a couple of gigs with Jumpstart Music and got a sub gig with some big band out of that. But Greg was in the first gig in Austin that I met a lot of the heavies on, the 50th Anniversary Gala for the Zilker Hillside Theater. 1/

My mother-in-law lives in Bowling Green, KY. I have been very surprised at the selection, price, and convenience of car shopping there. Just bought a 2016 CR-V AWD for my daughter. It's great. However, I was very surpised to see a Vinfast dealer in this town of 100,000 1 hour north of Nashville. 1/2

We have to put our Pucci down tomorrow. The tumor in his foot is only growing and he is miserable. It’s been a good loving 14 years with the sweetest friend anybody could ever ask for. #dogs

Impressions: Everybody on the stage is an amazing musician. The visual presentation was top-notch, as one would expect in a Gabriel concert. The only new song I really dug was "Road to Joy", but the others were fine.

I can finally watch both teams play each other since there are no blackouts in post-season. I can even watch Game 1 off the air!

This little guy was in our bathroom. I used the big plastic jar and some cardstock to trap him and try and took him out. Took him a minute to figure it out.
