My first album was one that I won in a local radio station contest...Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.  I remember having school homework where I needed to pick song lyrics that were a poem and analyze them.  I chose the song Wish You Were Here.  I don't know why but I always found those lyrics really interesting.

I have watched curling each evening.  That is the one sport I really enjoy watching.

 

We love curling. They make it look so easy.

No, not really.  I never had a great sound system so I did not buy many.  My drummer friend more less took over his basement and had speakers all over, large drum set and a few Congo drums and a big album collection.  There were several hang out houses around the county and most had great sound systems.  It’s a challenge to remember much from the 70s.

I do remember my sister having several Beach Boys and Jan & Dean albums.  I think a monkees too.

I remember a couple early ones I had. Led Zeppelin IV And House of the Holy by Led Zeppelin.  I started more of an 8-track collection when I got a Gregg Power play with 20oz Jensens for the car.  I also think that was the start of my tinnitus. 👂 

Speaking of drummers, one of my first was Provocative Percussion. Another, which was also jazz, was Dave Brubeck at Storyville.

I had several records as a child but I think the very first record I bought myself was The Doors.

 I never found a good way to store empty Tupperware containers.  Can't fit all inside the other.  Different sizes and different shapes. 

 

 

 

I stack the bowl part in the bottom drawer of the stove. Then I picked up a lid organizer from The Container Store. This seems to be working.

We are on board Celebrity summit, for our rock and romance cruise, yesterday left Dallas when temperature was in 20’s landed in 80 degrees in Miami. Lots of hassles boarding, even though we did Covid test on Thursday when we arrived at port we were told everyone needs another rapid test , this caused a hour delay in boarding, then we were supposed to be escorted on the ship , again miscommunication between celebrity staff and charter employees, this caused another delay , but now we are in our suite and happy, concierge manager remember us from edge in July . Internet is super slow will post pictures when I can, going to see Foreigner in a hour then dinner in suite restaurant. 

A dream come true!

This all started because she wasn't feeling well.  We weren't sure if she had a little stroke or what, as she is a feisty 84 year old who still drives and is very independent, but she was a shadow of herself.  Its been a crazy ten days but looks like she is back to her normal self for now.  

Glad to hear your Mom is back to her normal self for now.  It must be such a relief!!

Ok Lenny you get the 50000 reward!

One of my favorite songs too.  The Pink Floyd concert was one of the best I got to attend.

Thanks.  We had some really productive discussions over the last ten days and she is ready to come back to MA to be closer to me and my sister.  My brothers who were in NH have moved south, so there is no one closer than an hour away anymore.  She wants to live on her own, not with one of us, so we have to see what she will make her happy.  We are going to look at some independent living places that would have the option to go to assisted living when she needs it.  It needs to be her decision though and not all of my siblings are on the same page, so this is going to be interesting.

Sadly, I think my first album was Andy Williams🥴

Love Andy Williams. He had a great voice. His Christmas album has been my favorite ever since hearing it as a child.
