Summer in the City

In the Lovin' spoonful lyrics, it says 'Hot Time! Summer in the City'.... so what happened to the heat?! The beer stayed cold; we really didn't need the new can coolers we bought.
That being said, everything else was all we wanted out of our adventure. The mozzarella marinara from SAZ'S was just what I was dreaming of. Check. We also checked off BBQ, funnel cake and cheese stuffed pretzels. And Beer.

We usually spend more time checking out different bands but we had our hearts set on the Wailers. We camped out early to get good seats. They started right on time and they sounded absolutely great! Irie! Respect concrete to all de band. Sen? Ya mon! (I'll post some pix at a later date)

You may have noticed a few new widgets on the side bar. I do so love my tunes. Actually, I have to admit to a MP3 download habit. I have a Sansa FUZE mp3 player, not an iPod. It has (only) about 500 songs on it (so far). I am a music junkie. One of the widgets will allow you to give a listen to my downloads from Amazon. You can scroll thru the list and adjust the volume. If you're really lucky, you'll be able to download 'WALK TALL' by Ziggy Marley and Paul Simon for free! Have fun!

Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella

The Big Gig starts today! Weather could include rain, but I’ve never known it to stop any true Summerfest fan. Maybe I’ll be web savvy again today, and put in a link that really does work. The art pictured here was inspired by such summertime festivities and is entirely imaginary. It's called 'Resort'
I’ve been pondering FUN as something we all need, ie: sayings like ‘laughter is good medicine’ and the like.

Then I remembered this quote I had tucked away. It was a page on one of those quote-of-the-day business calenders. It was Wednesday, May 2, 1990…in a galaxy far far away (before the web gave you more quotes than you can even imagine counting).

'Business should be fun. Without fun people are left wearing emotional raincoats most of their working lives. Building fun into business is vital; it brings life into our daily being. Fun is a powerful motive for most of our activities and should be a direct part of our livelihood. We should not relegate it to something we buy after work with money we earn.' Michael Phillips, Academy Award winning film producer.
