Happy Pearl Harbor Day to all you U.S. T2Jers. I can't believe it has been 68 years already.

Joe: Great to hear from you. It was nice of you to post to bluebuffalo. Hope you guys will be able to perform down under in Australia soon. I hope you and everyone have a safe and wonderful Holiday Season. You're a great person/friend to all.

We had our first snow here (less than an inch). As a result, the snow and cold temperatures made the roads slick and have black ice. There was quite a number of accidents & slide-offs. I got to work safely before all that happened, and took my time to get home. More snow is on the way.

Bluebuffalo: Hope things are going well for Shannon, the family, and you. Prayers to you all, especially this Holiday Season.

Skippygirl: G'Day Matey! I might be able to do that long run. It depends on my work schedules at the hotel(s) & guitar shop. Let's hope Joe & The Gang comes down under to perform for all you Aussies. AYE!

Burly: Glad to hear you're daughter is doing well. She must be doing much better every single day. My Dad, Grandpa, Uncle, and folks will be finishing up with their farming soon. They also work/help out at one of our seed plants.

Michelle: That is some dream (LOL). How's Mom and the family doing? Hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season.

Cheese101: Hey Tracie! How's Dad and the family doing? Hope you, Chris, and the family also have a wonderful Holiday Season.

Pip55: Good day to you. How's it going?

Do The Stu: What's up! I want to say thank you for your review on the Chickenfoot Movie (the parts that I left out). I do appreciate it.

Don1963: Thank you as well for your input on the Chickenfoot Movie. Still a little surprised that the Patriots lost. However, they can still make it into the playoffs or wildcard.

McDave: We had our first snow here and it caused some problems here for the travelers. Sorry about Favre and the Vikings. They can still be in the playoffs. How's the family & the weather there?

Elpp: What's up Jose!? Cool pics on the snow there. You still running?

GlitzMan....no need to apologize. Like I said I'm not a huge football fan. Was just impressed with Arizona actually. The family is great and the weather is very cold (10 F) and we're expecting about 6 inches of snow by wednesday.

Freddy My thoughts are with you and your wife, I know this month isn't the right moments for you and your family going thru this with your wife, but I will keep you in good hopes and thoughts for both of you

with much love and respect and from my heart

McDave:

I live about one to one-and-a-half hours away from Indianapolis. I live in Fort Wayne (2nd largest city) and I like it here. I've lived here for a little more than three years now and counting. BTW, what kind of class will you be taking? Is it a college/school course? Maybe we could meet up sometime.

I'll be in Indianapolis again in May for the Indy-Mini, which is one of the largest running races in the U.S./world. About 35,000 participate in this Half-Marathon or 5K Run and this event fills up really quick because it's a very popular run.

The weather here (right now) has highs in the 30's and lows in the teens (10s) and 20s. It will probably be this way for the next few weeks (even colder). Even with this kind of weather, I still go out & run, sometimes with my running group. I just did five miles earlier today. There is a couple of runs coming up that I might do, but I'm not sure if I'll do any of them due to work. I mentioned this on earlier posts and having all of you to help me decide if I should do it or not.

Glitzy - thanks for the Aussie Chickenfoot push, much appreciated. Good luck with the big race if you decide to do it. How do you run when it's so cold?????

Merry Xmas to you and your family, hope you don't have to work but since you work at a hotel maybe you do...

I may still choose Kashmir over Kardashian... unless you have some more convincing evidence?

Anyway, isn't Karma karma karma karma.... (etc) more your cup of tea? : )

Skippygirl:

I just saw your post. Happy Holidays to you, Mr. Skippy, and to your families.

How do I run in the cold? I just had a lot of training & conditioning in this kind of weather. I try to run more in cold weather. Just did five miles earlier today. The runs I might do are on the 13th (a 5K) and the 19th (The Huff). I am thinking about doing them, but of course, there are Christmas parties and Holiday Buffets/Brunches that are coming up and I know I'm probably needed. However, I do have my vacation pay and a couple PTO days to use so why not. I earned that extra time off and I can use it whenever I want.

McDave - good on you! Action Man always wins.

Aussie geek headed to space

OMG Mc, I love that vid...WE WERE SO THERE!!!

Brings back great memories, the EWJ tour, best setlist EVER!

Awww, I miss Joe and the guys, lol!!

If Joe ever does another EWJ tour, ever....you HAFTA come over so we can hit 3 or 4 shows together...bring pip, bring skippy, roo, chelle, jj, and the rest of the gang, whoever wants to come. Those shows were the BEST!

Hi Glitz, Merry Christmas back atcha...family is doing pretty well, dad too, thanks for asking. He's pretty much back to "normal", whatever normal is for an 87 year old man :) I took my mom with me over to Grants Pass and back on Sunday to see Chris, we were gone 7 hours and during that time he took himself to church and out to lunch, then home for a nice quiet nap :) We are blessed he's still with us!! And are all looking forward to Christmas together!

He still cries at the drop of a hat...in fact, sometimes all it takes is for him and I to look at each other and the tears start to fall...we're both such big saps, lol!! But they are happy and greatful tears, not sad ones.

McDave- Best of luck to you . That sounds like a task that people would be willing to pay for and especially in Northern Minn.'s cold climate.

Speaking of cold it only warmed up to 17 degree's F today. We usually don't have it this cold so early in the year, but here it is and I guess it is not warming up for a while.

Don- I second what you said about Joe and Mike and Chad jamming ....I could have watched that for hrs too . They just seem so tuned to what each other are doing, unfortunately my internet connection had other ideas and so I only saw a bit. It would be cool if they archived it on the site or showed it again.

Michelle - I hope you are enjoying your days off, this year when I am shopping I think of you and Don in retail hell and you both have my sympathy's. It's crazy out there!.... lol.....

Glitzman- Do you ever have time to rest , with all the jobs and running? You must be a high energy person........

I am enjoying my new cd, The Electric Joe Satriani, a couple of the songs on there I hadn't even heard before. Borg sex for instance .........wow. I was playing the cd in my car today and my son was really enjoying the music. He used to think music had to have lyrics but he is realizing that Joe's songs tell there own story .... I haven't got my "LIve" DVD yet , so I enjoyed seeing that "Lords of Karma" clip.... had not seen that one before either....good stuff.

Nah Mc, that show was at the Grove in Anaheim, nice venue. We stood outside in line from 11 am onwards, LOL!! good times man!!

Speaking of cold, today outside I don't think it got over....11 degrees or so. It was 6 degrees when I went into work...I really gotta get me some decent gloves!!

Peace Lily, enjoy yer new Joe-stuff...btw, that video of Lords of Karma was done as a webcast, Joe didn't do an official release of that tour, DAMNIT!!! But the webcast was majorly cool, my son and I were there, Austin too, and Patricia from England....we can see ourselves on the webcast. That was the best tour of all the tours we've seen Joe do, almost 3 hours per show of solo-Joe....tons of work for him but sheer bliss fer the fans :) We saw 6 shows on that tour...yes...Joe-crazy, lol!! If you liked Borg Sex, do you have the Live in San Francisco dvd yet? If not, get that next!!!

The "Borg Song" as Chris called it... lisf borg sex is a great version... EC pops up for some octave double guitar fun...

u do play guitar a lot Joseph!

Blue Moon - I handed that one over on a plate lol LOK is a classic, that anaheim version particularly cool. Do you think you could make that your next youtube project on the lady in red?

Cheese101 - I have a feeling I've shared it here before (how did you miss it).... and I'm impressed as that must be at least 12 hours so far and you haven't pushed it out from your DM. Good going : )
