Central PA Gets Fab-U-lous For An Evening

Yea, I know, it's been awhile since I've been out here. I thought about trying to catch you all up, but that would take too long.

Last night, I got to see Sir Elton John live at the Giant Center. 3 hours of his best music was awesome!

Here's a little clip of Rocket Man I took on my cell phone:



Hope you enjoyed my shitty little video.

I promise to visit here more often.

In Memorium

Tuesday morning, a dear friend of mine passed away. Lester (aka Mr K) lost his battle with kidney failure. He passed the way anyone would want to go, at home, surrounded by those who cared about him the most. The house seems so empty without him.

Rest well, Bubs.

Hello Blogness, My Old Friend

Wow, has it really been since December since I've been out here? I really haven't felt like doing much of anything, lately. Seems I have PTSD with a side order of depression. Or is it the other way around? I'm back in therapy (again) and tomorrow I get to see the psychiatrist. The doc is to help me pick a new med that hopefully won't screw me up like Lexapro did. That's all for now, stay tuned...

Merry Christmas



Merry Christmas all! This song is "Christmas Eve Sarajevo" by the Trans Siberian Orchestra. I like to think back to when I was in Bosnia, during the harsh Baltic winter, watching the locals dig through the dumpsters on the post looking for plastic to cover their windows to keep whatever precious heat they could make, inside their house. During this Christmas season, please take time to remember how truly fortunate we really are.

Jury Duty (almost...)

I was to be on jury duty this whole week. Showed up Monday morning ready to go dish out some good old fashioned justice. Back pack full of books to entertain myself during any down time. Was placed on one panel to be picked for a jury. AFter a series of questions regarding the case, I was rejected. Got to go to lunch early, so I made the best of it and went to one of my favorite restaurants in the 'burg Molly Branigans. I enjoyed the company of my special lunch guest and got my Irish on with a corned beef boxty.

1 o'clock, back to wait to be chosen for another jury panel. Waited until 2:30, then 3 more panels were chosen. Still rejected. Those of of left were then told we would be very happy with the next announcement. Me, being one for the small rewards in life figured we wouldn't have to come in until like 10 the next morning. Wrong. We were sent home with letters to prove we had been on jury duty for the day. Just one day? I had a whole week of lunches planned in my head. I was finally going to read the Constitution like I have been talking about doing for quite some time now. Oh well, maybe in 3 years when I am eligible to be picked again...
