PARTLY TO HEAR

We stopped by to see Tabitha yesterday and she looked good for being run over by a cement mixer.. After giving birth to twins and she was home for the night and will return to Denver to watch over the care in the hospital as the babies grow to their birth weight, or discharge weight..  She talked about starting a blog and that is a good idea.. If I were to give her any advice it would be either one of two things.. Either take the family blog over, adding to it and or making it hers exclusively.. Or piggyback on the family site starting a second blog there which is extremely easy.. Unless she has a very original blog name in mind it is extremely hard to get a name for a blog.. This site here was the first name I tried believe it or not and the name is so out there and I think the main reason I got the name on my first try is the "Thad Chiz" part are not words.. Although Thad could be a name.. The number of times I tried to get the PNOP site named..  It was supposed to be named after one of three or four Tangerine Dream songs and when they didn't take (weren't allowed) I had to sleep on it and came up with the name within the next few days.. This site was easy, it was a variation of an entry I had named "subject" at the time of starting this site.. I thought it was an exact but it turns out it wasn't exactly the same...  Close counts in horse shoes and blog naming I guess.. 

Reminders & memory with the heat we have right now, I remember when I was in the band I was in and practicing when it was so hot..  Just was hot at every practice site we were ever in..  And then there was the time we played at a bar in Julesburg Co...  We unloaded and it was in the summer and as I'm setting up I am thinking their air conditioner doesn't work??  They didn't have one for whatever the reason.. That and back then they were allowed to smoke in the bar, and smoking they did..  Every gig was that way in a bar back then..   Ah the good old days of smelling like an ashtray for the following day and taking a week to recover from the heavy smoke ingestion..  There were very few gigs that we played that I felt really good at, but I never let on that I felt like shit.. The gig in Holyoke was one where I kept an eye on the bathroom at all times but never went and used it.. I was just sure I would puke or crap somewhere along that night.. Seems every gig east of town was a crapfest.. Except for the prom in Ogallala, that was one of the best gigs we ever played together.. That building was huge and we could power the whole thing, our P.A. could power the old McNicols arena in Denver with no problem.. LOUD!!   And then there was R.D.'s in Sedgewick.. Those were the greatest gigs of them all..  Back then was a completely different time.. Way different than now.. Way different.. Nothing is even remotely close to those days.. Yeah I look back fondly on those days, but they were few and far between.. Would I do it again??  Hell yes!! In a heart beat..
