This is why I carry a camera everywhere I go:

President Gerald Ford died yesterday at the age of 93. The full story is here.

Just a couple of weeks ago I was going through some old photos and I found a picture of when I MET President Ford. I’m the little kid just above Ford’s hand in this picure. My mom is above me, my brother is the long blond haired guy, my aunt is in the dark glasses behind my brother, my uncle is lower right and Senator Jake Garn is between my uncle and Ford.

Here’s to President Ford, may he rest in peace.

Vicious Summer hit my last post with a “blog tag” comment. It’s like one of those chain letter junk things you get in your email but this time I’ll bite because I like her and it’s an interesting idea.

So I have to blog “5 things you didn’t know about me” and tag 5 other blogs I guess. Fine, I’ll play.

Hmm. This is going to be harder than I thought…

1. I’ve never had a job, a real job. Never punched a time clock. Never worked for “the man.”

2. I recently turned down a deal that could make me over $1.2 million bucks.

3. I like my food so hot (spicy), even the mexicans in the mexican restaraunts can’t believe it.

4. I’m an Atheist. In fact I despise organized religion.

5. I’ve never had a one night stand.

OK. There you go. Now here’s who I tagged:

GolfChick, Alan, Luke, Eat, Addix

Below: Al Di Meola having a duel with Gumby his percussionist.

Below: Al Di’s mic writer. Al’s rig was a Marshall and a Mesa. The Marshall was a stand for the Mesa. They mic’d the Mesa with a 409 and a 57. Great combination.

Below: Al started out the 2nd set with some unbelievable classical material which HE READ.  INSANE!
