My son got to visit with most of his grandparents. I got to eat my parents’ food, and also steal away to Austin for 40-something hours. I ate Love Veggies at Magnolia Cafe, and some Kim Phung. I got to visit with Matt Sonzala on the eve of his birthday. And above all, I got to fellowship with lotsa folks at the All Rise Event on Sunday night. Check this out… « Read the rest of this entry »

Big Bright Future (a new year’s song)
[ God-willing, you'll hear this song on Friday ]
set it off with a blessing in the message i’m like
everyday’s a holiday in the present time right
wrote a song about love no valentine
walk into the light no caroline
we rejoice when we sing no caroling
nevertheless note carrying yes
put my stamp on it when i express
first class neither second nor next best
first off i appreciate and give thanks
for my breath every morning knowin it stanks
blow it out keep it movin no stiff planks
still waters run deep except fishtanks
raps for the noonday and the midnight
check out my forecast that’s right big bright
hold steady no fluctuating now just you wait and see

Twas So Hot Today

Twas so hot today…
[free Summer's End mix by NiroWho; just click the Download arrow on the right]
TWAS SO HOT TODAY…that I had to rush home from Hollywood, scoop up the family [yes, even El B] and roll all the way to PCH and Diamond down in Laguna Beach.
[If you ever check out BavuBlogs, you already know that's our spot.]
About 10 minutes from the house, some guy who lost custody of his kid went to his ex-wife’s job and shot up the whole salon. Eight people died, which was the biggest homicide in Orange County history. This all reminds me of Do The Right Thing, and you might understand what I mean.
We saw all the media trucks and cop cars on the way home this evening, but more importantly El B had stopped screaming at the top of his lungs and gone to sleep again. Anytime I slowed down enough to lower the engine hum, he threatened to do it all over again. But thankfully, he’s a really nice guy, especially for a three-week-old. The only reason we’d initially left home was to avoid him overheating. The heat was obviously ruining his cool.
