'Twas a great weekend, and it's not over

Friday night we met the crew at Nissi's, for a retirement party, with live music from 'Thumpin', an 11 piece 'oldies' dance band, and had a wonderful time, once we found the place. Sat night was a trip across town to Lone Star, Colorado, where we had a fantastic dinner at Papadeaux's, before going to the 'Motones vs Jersey's' stage show. The four black guys did mainly Motown tunes, vs the Jersey's who did '4 Seasons' type stuff, and even finding their 'feminine side' with some girl group stuff. in a 'battle of the bands' situation, with the audience voting at the end. Not only Motown and 4 Seasons, but LOTS of music from our era, with some great dance moves and a great back-up band, plus a Prince tribute and some new stuff. Fantastic show and well worth the drive and $.
Today is a BBQ and games with the kids, here at the house. Fantastic weather, tasty food and drink, green grass and fun people. Memorial Day always make me think of dad, who served in WWII and was proud of it, like I was of him. Life is good!

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
