Hi Everyone:

Here are the results from my Marathon Run: My time was 3 hours, 11 minutes, and 24 seconds. I just missed qualifying Boston by 25 seconds. That's okay, there's always other marathons. I came in 3rd in my Age Division; 10th overall. I had mixed emotions afterwards. A little disappointed that I didn't qualify, but glad that I finally did this marathon, which was one of my goals to do. I'm planning on doing more in the long run. Now I have my last Points Race (a 5K) next week.

Well, time for some R&R. I got some cleaning & laundry to do afterwards, and work tomorrow morning.

Recent Interview

awesome current interview Peace Lily...thanks so much

but al, how do you really feel?

Roy, thanks for sharing that Tiger Rag link, liked it quite a lot!

GlitzMan: Congrats on your race results, keep it up!

Interesting posts about the vegan lifestyle, I do know someone who's trying to walk down that path, will share your comments with her.

Guys, I understand people wanting to vent about some things in a forum they feel is going to get them the best outcome. But do you seriously think that complaining about DVDs, fanfire, news currency, ticket prices, etc, is:

1) beneficial to Joe and his music

And

2) going to get results you want?

May I suggest that perhaps the Satriani.com site would do well with an additional mechanism to field gripes about products, prices, etc that didn't "bring down" Joe?

I understand that logistically this is a tall ask... to be adopted and successful, it would need to bring some sort of response and result.. Ok so I guess it's a pipe dream...

But come on guys, we are long time fans of Joe and his great art. Can we think a little more about how what we say here reflects on him? I know that forums generally encourage candor and Joe himself says "for whatever we want to talk about" but there is no substitute for tact in measuring the right way to say things. Although your friends tell you you can be brutally honest, most would still not retort with both guns blazing...

I guess I'm naive, but I've always thought that discretion is the better part of valour, even if you are frustrated, chucking an OT (online tantrum) is very childish.

And no, I am not brown-nosing.. Really! I do believe there is such a thing as a way to get results without having to make someone else lose.

And yes, we have visited the censorship debate in the past here on t2j, I am not talking about censorship, just self control and decorum.

Oh no, here comes the pain....:)

Roo

Peace Lily - thanks for the Pure Rawk interview link.

But alas, no Australian tour *sobs loudly* another UK and Europe tour and the US tour for Hendrix Experience.

So in the spirit of roo-ship, good on you lucky people who are going to get (yet) another Chickenfoot tour and Joe with the Hendrix Experience, have fun, rock on, have a great time, yada yada friggin yada.

Right, that's it. I have to plot a scheme to get to Europe or the States.

Finally got some time last night to sit down with the new Chickenfoot DVD. To my suprise there was some footage of "The Tabernacle" show at the beginning of FUTURES IN THE PAST. Did not see myself or Mrs. Burly. The shot I saw was from stage left and we were directly in front of Joe. There may have been more. That was all I noticed but will need time to watch it again soon by myself with no distractions.

JOE when can we expect more tour dates, US or otherwise?

Later. Best wishes.

roo, I understand what yer saying. It's nice to come to a forum and have nothing but positive energy flowing. It would be amazing if life was like that, but it's not. For the most part, we're shiny happy people, but having a forum with no "meat" (pun intended) in it would be kinda boring. Joe gets pissed off, and on occasion he himself vents on the internet. Joe is a super optimist, and optimism is a wonderful thing. I just wish more of us were like that. Personally, I strive for it everyday. Sometimes it's easy, and sometimes it's soooo not. Anyways, I think it's kind of interesting to see what makes people tick - good and bad.

Peas Lily, I stopped my posts at yer post from last Monday because I wanted to answer you back. lol! I have 9 pages on deck. lol! Thanks for the anniversary wishes. We had a wonderful day. Retail hell is revving up the closer we get to the holidays. There's another sale coming up next weekend, so it's gonna get ugly. lol! Soon enough it'll all be over and our hours will be cut, and the place will have tumbleweeds blowing through it instead of shoppers. I'm kinda looking forward to it, but not. It's easier on yer body, but mentally you have the powers that be swooping around trying to pick off those they think aren't holding up their end. It's all about budget cuts. Let's get rid of the 25 yr employee, then hire a newbie at minimum wage. Anyways - how's yer dad doing? Is he going to the dermatologist every couple of months for a thorough check? My dad & uncle go every 6 months, and wear sunscreen any time they're outside. Even if it's not sun related, I believe the sun accelerates it. Best wishes to yer dad. My mom is holding steady. She's getting out more, but still pretty congested. I'm not sure if that's ever going to go away? She has good days and bad. It gets scary when she can't breathe. Hopefully my family will all be well enough so we can have them over for Thanksgiving. If anyone has a cold or is sick, she can't be exposed to it, and Thanksgiving will be pretty depressing.

Glitz, great job on all the racing. Mom update in above post to PL.

It's a beautiful day today after a few days of gray skies & rain. I'm outta here!

Happy Sunday peeps!

AYE!
