Blue Moon - agreed, the legato looks insanely mental.

My" Satriani Live" arrived today...happy- happy -joy- joy.. !!! :-)

still buzzing from the Gary Hoey show sooo thought I'd share 2 early Christmas treats for my fellow T2Jers:

FIRST.... Christmas style: Carol of the Bells

SECOND.... preview of new song 'utopia' from Gary's forthcoming CD: Utopia

Rock on! ImI

Peace Lily: I do try to get some rest in between. Earlier today, I took a small nap (after work was done this morning). As of right now, the next two days, I work at six in the morning in the restaurant (at Marriott), which will be my first time working in that department. I try to balance everything out with work at Holiday Inn, the guitar store, and Marriott. I also let the staff at each place know (in advance) on what days I prefer to work and when I'm available. They all know that running is a passion of mine. Hope you enjoy your, "Satriani Live". Happy Holidays!

Cheese101: That's great news that your Dad is doing well. Please give him my best. Happy Holidays again!

Glitz Man:- Do you know a fellow runner named Nelson Aspen?

Hey all!

btw cheers for the Gary Hoey tracks! and im sooo jealous you're going to see him!

Im MORE jealous of all you guys who saw Chickenfoot!! I didnt make it to the one England show but rest assured i will not miss his next tour with the new instrumental album!! which i cannot wait for!!!!

Good Afternoon Satchland.... How Is Everyone?

Just stoppin' in to say Hi...... Hi

Glitz Man :- I don't know how well known he is in your parts but he does a daily Hollywood/Celebrity News report segment on one of our regular Aussie morning shows(Sunrise) and he often mentions when he has a running event coming up, so just thought you may have crossed paths. Anyway,great to hear your doing well with your work schedule and still be able to compete. What's next for you?

see al, you ARE a douche!

Fatape: Well Craig, I'll probably have to look back at all the races I have done for the past number of years. I don't think I have ever met Nelson Aspen. Thanks for the info. As for running, there are a couple of races coming up soon. One of them is a 5K while the other is a 50K (kind of like an ultramarathon). I'm thinking of doing them both, but it depends on my work schedules.

Speaking of work, I have work the next two days at six in the morning at my new/recent job (in the restaurant). It's a challenge to handle three jobs & still run, but I try to make things organized so it will work out smoothly.

Another challenge for me is the weather. Right now, it's snowing and we also have a Winter Weather Advisory along with a Wind Advisory. It's not easy driving and being out in this kind of weather, but that's part of life I guess.

Glitzy - sorry to be a dummy but do you run in the snow then? Or do you go to an indoor track of some sort? Hard to comprehend when it's a glorious 25 C here and I'm planning which way to serve the seafood entree on Xmas day and the gin and lime spritzers!

Mind you, we haven't shaken the trad British lunch (my Mum is British) of having roasted meats even if it's sweltering outside. Go figure.

Amazing effort by you to maintain your training in that climate - any chance of some pics of snowy Fort Wayne?

Davy Knowles is stuck in his bus in a Walmart carpark in the snow rightnow....

For Chickenfoot in Australia say "aye"!

..........aaaaaaand Davy posted THIS link just to be a nice guy and share....

ummm, yeah....right....MY EYES!!!! GAHHHHH!!!

That's just wrong......and wrong some more , I didn't t want to look but its just so horrible I could not stop....my self ....LOL

Don't some people ever look at them selves when they get dressed???????

Skippygirl:

Don't feel bad. There is no such thing as a stupid question. I mostly run outside in the snow and cold temperatures. It's good conditioning when there are "cold, snowy" races that are coming up, especially those runs I mentioned to you. In high school, I did cross-country and track and we ran in all sorts of weather, and I still do. Sometimes, I'll go to the fitness room at my apartment complex and use the treadmill, or any of the fitness equipment. I even do stair workouts, starting from the underground parking lot and going up about 15-16 flights to the Penthouse doors.

Right now, we had some snow that came down a little bit ago and it looks like a Winter Wonderland. I'll see about getting a picture of my town for all of you, but I'll have to ask one of my friends/neighbors to help me with that. I figured you might be interested. You can check out the runs that I have done at fwtc.org & runindiana.com. This year, I have done 20 runs/races. Hope this helps.

Hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season. I might be working, but I'll be with my family in the evening to celebrate. Plus, I'll be visiting my Grandparents, and all my Cousins, Aunts, & Uncles, which will be cool.

AYE!

Cheese101 & Peace Lily: Just saw the pic. Very unpretty.

Ohhhh Glitz and Peace Lily, there ain'ta just one pic, there's pages and PAGES of those walmart pics....I'm kinda like Peace...I just kept paging and paging, went through at least 30 pages of eye-mangling photos....why u might ask? I don't know why....it's kinda like watching a train wreck, u just can't look away....LOL!!

The amazing thing is....that somewhere out there is each person's mother...quite possibly pretending she never had a kid, LOL!!

Al, This one's for you. Go check yer sleeves ya douche! lmao!

T-Bones, the person who won is the one I was hoping for out of the final 2 that were the tightest in the race. Crazy almost won, but she got bumped by crazy #2. Unbelievable what those peeps look like now compared to when they first went on the show. I really shouldn't drink a glass of wine and crack peanuts while watching that show. lol! Shay is coming back for the next season, and Subway is giving her $1,000 for every pound she loses. Talk about motivation!!

Ohhh, Danica has moved to NASCAR!

That storm is coming this way, but nothing yet. According to the weather map, it's all up on us, but nothing is reaching the ground.

I say, if ya got a pocket full of tomatoes, why not throw them?
