Some memories have been popping up on my phone this past week, reminding me that a year ago Erin and I were visiting NYC. Coincidentally, I'm wearing a Coney Island souvenir t-shirt today, so I thought I'd share some pics and a little video of what it's like riding the Wonder Wheel. Thanks again, howard lee, for helping us get off the island of Manhattan on our visit.
We had a great finale to the storage garage sale. The day was pretty slow but just as we were closing a lady came by with her sister and mother and went nuts buying stuff so we finished strong.j

I know a guy who can bend spoons using only mental power. Oh, and a pair of pliers. He was going to turn it into a magic act. I suggested to him that most audiences wouldn't be likely to overlook the pliers part. He seemed unconvinced. Still, he didn't take his act on the road, so there's that.
I once asked him if he could bend the spoon if I was holding it.
He asked if I would close my eyes.
If your belief system does not include incongruities that astonish, frustrate or befuddle you, it most probably does not include a power higher than you.

In our younger years Dar and I spent some of our money on antiques. I was raised around them and still love them, though I'm at the age of scaling back, not adding. But recently, unbidden, facebook started showing me images of antiques -- the ones I dearly loved -- primitives and Early American, crocks, and tools. An absolute flood of nostalgia hit me.

I melted an ice cube just by staring at it. It took longer than I expected.

If my guitars knew I owned them they would be deeply disappointed.
