Time Passes

Time flew by right while I was watching. I've been in LA on a music adventure. Not sure why I think I should be allowed to do music.

Business Day

I was just in the middle of getting 1-week's worth of work completed in one day. Meetings, a meeting, a meeting, a meeting, a meeting and yes, a meeting. All productive. Got a lot done. Trying to get things lined up so that I can head to LA for music fun.

...next update from California tomorrow!

Harvard Buds

Yep, made a stop at a wedding this past month. This is me with buddies of mine from Harvard. I did the fishing the next day. By the way, I don't have black eyes even though the red-eye correction made my blue eyes look like black marbles.

Feels So Good!

You could say THIS is my band, but actually these talented musician guys (Ron, Wally and Kurt) are just nice enough to help me out on my CD. They're complete pros with years of experience performing and/or recording with bands like Foreigner, Cher, David Lee Roth, En Vogue, Pink, Randy Meisner- The Eagles, Poco, Denny Laine- Wings, Moody Blues, Michael Monarch- Steppenwolf, Bobby Kimball & Fergie Frederiksen- Toto, Spencer Davis, Johnny Winter, Hoyt Axton, the late Sam Kinison, Jean Luc Ponty, Toni Braxton, Pink, En Vogue, The Chieftains, Tom Jones, Barry Manilow, Richie Sambora Band, The Storm and a host of others including the Gregg Rolie Band which is on tour now and it's fantastic live!

I'll put up one of the newer songs I wrote, sang and recorded with them. Here we're playing my song called FEELS SO GOOD!

I went out fishing up the Cape while out with friends in Boston over Labor Day. This is a little Striper I caught. He was too small so we threw him back, but it was a great day and really relaxing. The Alantic Ocean is just over the horizon. We were out there for 15 minutes, but it was too rough that day.  

1/2 Marathon

"Sunday, January 9, 2005 8:30 AM Entire Marathon Field Start Based on feedback from the inaugural event, we made some changes that we think you're really going to like. The 2005 race will feature a more scenic (but still just as flat) Marathon, and a FLATTER and FASTER Marathon."

Yep, I'm gonna run this 13.1 miles race in January. I have never been a long distance runner. I wasn't even a short distance runner, but I started walking to get into better shape which lead to jogging after a year and a half of walking (mostly on a treadmill). Now I can actually run. Doing these races helps keep me motivated. This 1/2 marathon distance is a big stretch for me. Until last month, I had never raced more than a 10k. I did a section of a marathon replay. I did a section just over 7 miles. That went well and was fun. I ran that in an hour and some seconds. I think it was 1:00:48. I was trying for 1:05 so I did just fine. If had paid closer attention to my pace the last 3 miles, I could have run a minute faster overall. NEXT time!

Audioblog

Just trying out a new option (feature) for this blogging. I can use a secret bat number to leave an audioblog. Kinda neat!

Sunday

Went for a 7 miles run in the sun and wind this morning. I was going to do 14 miles, but decided I felt so good after the 7 that I would get a lot more done today and this week if I didn't do yet another 7 right now. As I got ready to start the run, I did an audioblog. I don't see it posted here so it might not have work. Hmmmm...thought I did it right.

I need some lunch!

Later on today, I need to burn some CD with 3 or 4 or 5 selected songs of mine. I'm headed to LA on Thursday to see if anyone likes my stuff. I also need to finish up some takes on the lead vocal on my new song called Swing. Maybe I'll do that later today too. Gotta design up a quick CD label too.

I'm off for food!

Seein' if I can figure out how to send a photo to the blog. Let's try this of me on a Jeep Jam. 

What's up?

Seems like it's a good time to get a bloggin'. Let's see if we can make this thing work!
