Why I'm voting McCain

Go McCain

Report on the EJ concert

I went to the Elton John concert and it was good. At the last minute I managed to sell two of the tickets and my friend and his two kids came with me to see Sir Elton. Man, that guy plays a mean pinball (piano). He rocked for 2 & 1/2 hours straight. He sang all his best songs and it made for a memorable/expensive experience.
Live and learn.

Calling All Elton John Fans

A while back I got this great idea to buy these Elton John tickets and sell them for a profit. It turns out there are more people who think they could make a profit from Elton John tickets than actual fans who are willing to pay more than face value. I bought 6 tickets thinking I would make anywhere from $50 to $400 profit. The tickets cost me $100 each and here it is the day of the concert and I'm stuck with them and all my friends and family have abandoned me to try and scalp them at the concert.

"That's what you get." Brenda said, "Never again!"

OK, so if I don't sell them I'm picking up 5 homeless friends and we're gonna sing "Sad Songs" together.

Some Better Days

I'm sorry for leaving everybody hanging on such a sad note. We have had some good news since I posted last. We found another dog and named her Angel. She has really become a part of our family and seems really happy to be out of the dog pound. Here she is.

We celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary by going to Florida. Visiting Disney's EPCOT center and watching the Space Shuttle launch were a couple highlights of the trip.

Brenda loved getting in the ocean in the Gulf of Mexico near Tampa Bay.

The Saddest Day of Brenda's Life

Yesterday was the saddest day of Brenda's life. Our dog Toby had to be put to sleep. It was a hard decision but we didn't want him to be in pain. While we were on vacation he lost a quarter of his body weight and went completely blind. The Vet suspected it was diabetes that caused the weight loss and cataracts. He was a huge part of our lives for the last 9 years and we have many good memories that will always be with us. Here's a little tribute to our baby.

Toby doesn't change much but Brenda's hair does check it out.

We'll miss you Toby!
