congrats to Mike Pickens in NH, he won my iPad :))) Guess that just means I'm destined to win the guitar after all......
HA!! lol!!
Met a very sweet elderly couple today. They needed our program's help to move into assisted living. Each of them had to meet eligibility for us to be able to pay, and I was a bit worried that she would meet, but he wouldn't. So talked to them about alternatives just in case. He said it would be okay, whatever is to happen is what will be, as long as they are together. Nothing much else mattered to him than that, other than making sure his wife would receive care.
Some days, I love my job even though it drives me insane with stress and causes regular brain cramping due to so much policy, rules and regs. They both qualified so I had the joy of letting them know it's okay to have their family start packing them up for the next adventure in life.
As long as they could stay together.....really nice to see and hear.

been playing a lot of guitar. Learning more stuff staying positive and motivated as well!!! Been getting prices for amps and pedals! Super excited about that!
got new guitar picks. Very heavy. I read somewhere that very heavy picks are bad on the strings, is it true? I hate the flimsy ones! Ha
side note....got a number for a doc that has had a lot of experience with cervical cancer. Trying to get in and get seen!

Brian - GREAT PICS!!!! Thanks for sharing those. Nice to see pics of the other band members too, and your fab family.
Well with all the coverage of Japan's awful disaster and potential effects on the Pacific rim countries and islands, I had the house to myself for a little while and I put on my playlist of all Joe's love songs and ballads and cleaned like mad. Very zen.
Have a great weekend everyone. We have a long weekend so a lovely 3 days off.
Cheese - ah, a rotten dilemma there, and not good news re the paycuts. *hugs* and I hope it turns out well.

The BBC's Nick Ravenscroft was on his way towards Fukushima, but about 60km from the plant was stopped by the police and told it was too dangerous to proceed. He says there is lots of traffic coming in the other direction. Authorities in vehicles with sirens are making public announcements to the crowds
This is a global problem of possible catastrophic proportions...THIS affects us all... its scary why the media has been playing this down and focusing on the earthquake and tsunami

Condolences to you Greg. That was a nice picture you posted.
Thanks for all the videos Mr. ZF. Some of my favorite tunes. I had not seen that Roy Bucanan before.
Very scary about the possible power plant melt down.

Brian, why don't u and Deb go too, and we can carpool :) It's just down and back, Sat and Sun......
;) Good memories eh?? That was a decent vid if I do say so myself. Did the dvd's work? Please say yes, lol!!
Seeing Joe would be the icing on the cake at this show of course...but man are there a lot of other great players gonna be there. I'm especially looking forward to seeing Vinnie Moore play, he's a lovely guy. Chris got to see him do a clinic in Las Vegas a few years ago, but never on stage like this. This would be a show that's hard to miss.....still thinking :)
Edit: Thanks Skippy and no worries really. That big of a cut is gonna be hard to work with but....in light of everything else going on in the world, it's a minor thing, considering. I can't stop thinking about what people in Japan must be going through right now. It's gotta be pure hell :((

Hey guys and gals, it has been FOREVER since I've visited Joe's home and wow, I missed you guys! Special thanks to slanshroom (Roysan) for mentioning it....
We were spared here in Okinawa with a 30cm tsunami but my God, watching the destruction unfold on Japanese t.v. is like watching a horror flick to say the least!! I was telling slansh that the latest explosion at the nuke plant blew the outer walls down but not the "core" of the reactor..they "say" it is integrally unharmed, but they evacuated everyone within 20 kilometers of the area. The radiation "steam leaks" have subsided and it "seems" like it is under control, but it is anyones guess.... I've heard the U.S. is supplying coolant for the reactors, and add that to the tsunami destruction and it really is unbelievable what has transpired.... but, if anyone can survive and rebuild from this, it is the Japanese people..the most resilient people on the Planet! They will find a way, and if you can, please donate to the cause if possible..Japan needs all the help they can get, and again, it is nice to see you guys!!

Roy, thanks hon. I would really hope that they would give the people the truth about the nuclear emergency situation and not let them be lied to by any form of government. It's an atrocity to hide facts in a situation like this. This is just so huge it's hard to get yer head around it all.
Mikey D!!!! It was great to hear the south was spared, but jayzus, the north was to' up!! My heart breaks every day watching the news and thinking about such massive loss. This planet is an amazing place. It gives life, and it takes it away. Anyways, nice to see you post again. It would be great if you could pop in more often. Your sunshine is missed!

Man, this is seriously effed up! It goes from mostly water first, to a thick churning powerhouse of everything you can imagine, and even things you can't. I watched a few vids, and I just wanna cry my eyes out.
