Idiot of the Day

Sometimes a persons name just really seems to fit them. Finally after a few days have passed Vice President "Dick" Cheney has decided to speak.

Getting past what he even said, what surprised me the most was this statement.

"Texas officials said the shooting was an accident and no charges have been brought against the vice president."

For some reason I don't think that would have happened in ANY other incident if someone got shot in the face.

What really irks me is back when Clinton was getting orally pleasured in the White House Congress had to get together and hold hearings and drag him through the mud. Now Dick Cheney can shoot a guy in the face, cause the guy to have a 'mild heart attack' and all he gets is a "It was and accident, let's move along folks". Pure and utter BS.

Getting old

This is what I refer to as our "Antique Table" The table is actually a sewing machine my wife inherited from her Grandmother.

The clock was a retirement gift for my mother.

Now the phone on the left amazingly actually still works. It was quite interesting to watch me son try to figure out how to dial on a rotary dial phone.

Anyway, what dawned on me is I remember growing up that phone being used in our house.

You know you are getting old when an item you once used in your lifetime is now considered and antique.

Two nights... Two Views

There is one thing you learn being an entertainer. No matter how nice of a hotel you manage to get for a gig, as the entertainment you will always manage to get that one certain room.

Usually it's the room that is one of the following.

1. Next to an elevator shaft
2. Next to the icemaker
3. All the way at the end of the hall from the elevator.
4. On the side of the building that has no parking
6. The handicapped room
7. The room with no batteries in the remote
8. The room that the heat/air doesn't work right or is extremely loud.
9. The room next to the main entrance with in and out traffic.
10. The room next to the bar
11. The room next to the slot machines (Casino gigs)

Or like on a recent tour I took, you get "The room with a view"

Here are two pictures from two consecutive nights, in two different cities, in two different hotels.



Yep, nothing gets a man motivated on a nice sunny day like brick!
