Week Eight

With the wedding less than two weeks away, I still managed to get alot done this week:

1. I finished reading "Hammer of the Gods:The Led Zepplin Saga". Uber good read. It gave great insight to the rock lifestyle during that time. I have a fascination with Zepplin out of nowhere, so this was a great book. Peter Grant was a beast!! I am starting on the next book "In the Hands of the Seneca". It is about a group of settlers taken by the Seneca Indians. The book was my mother's when she was growing up, so it is sentimental as well. #8

2. I gave another dollar to a guy in the Publix Parking lot. He reminded me that my wallet was still in the cart as I walked away from it in the parking lot. There are still good people out there. He told me that he had no money for gas, so I gave him what I had. It was only a dollar in change in the center console. I did not have that much, but what I had I gave him. I need to start carrying small bills around with me for this reason. #72

3. I listened to a mad ton of cd's this week. We are compiling our wedding songs and I am listening as I upload them to the computer:
-105.9 WCXR Classics Vol. 1--Great classic song cd--Layla,Journey to the Center of the Mind, Magic Carpet Ride, She came in Through the Bathroom Window, Gimme Some Lovin', All Right Now, Ramblin' Man, You Really Got Me, Dirty Water, Wild Thing, You Wear it Well, A Whiter Shade of Pale.
-The Police-Every Breath You Take, The Classics: Hello, it's Sting. Doesn't Suck
-The Honey Drippers-Volume 1: This album features Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and Jeff Beck in this really cool 1950's-esque tribute. Beautiful album, but very short-only 5 songs.
-Heart-Greatest Hits: Any record that has Barracuda on it is fine by me.
-Led Zepplin-In Through the Out Door: Was this by Zepplin? Then it is awesome.
-Pink Floyd-The Wall: This album has special meaning to me for various reasons that I don't care to post for the world to see. However, this is the first time I recall listening to the whole thing front to back. Memories, like the corner of my mind ....
-The Yardbirds-Blues, Backtracks and Shapes of Things, Vol.2-This was heaven to hear. I love the raw sound that the band captured. Also the "downhome" blues was stunning. Being from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, good blues is good to hear. Loved it!!
-The Monkees-Greatest Hits: I sang Hey Hey, We're the Monkees for the rest of the day. Does anyone remember the TV show? "People say we monkey around"

I think that list is done for the week. #74

4. Still flossing daily, turning the water off during the shower and drinking the water everyday.

It seems like I did more. I guess that CD list took up alot of the time.

Next week will be the last update for 1 month. I am getting hitched on 9/12 and then off to China for 3 weeks. I will keep track of the things I am doing and post when I return.

See you soon--
