My kids are forever messed up...

So, I'm commenting on Of Muskies and Metal and we start talking about Dokken and
George Lynch. This brings back memory's of younger days with hair, so I bring out the Dokken CD and start playing it in the trusty steed. My two little rodents in the back start singing to the songs at which point my DW turns around and asks my oldest DD " Do you even know what band this is"? To which my DD replies " It's Dokken" with that Duh look on her face. My DW then turns to the younger child and asks "what is the name of the song"? And she replies "
Alone Again" also with the Duh look on her face.

I love my kids. They rock, no, I really mean they rock.

If you like Dokken, try Lynch Mob. Lynch Mob is the band that George Lynch formed after the break up of Dokken.

I'm a little old school and feel that if you are going to get just one album, go for Wicked Sensation from 1990. Much darker than what he did with Dokken, very raw in form. I like this album a lot.Best bet: "Hell Child" and "Bed of Roses".

The album "Lynch Mob" from 1992 is more produced and most likely a better album. I still like Wicked Sensation better. "No Good" is the best on the album.I've not heard "REvolution", which is the last album that I know of.

yeah, I had to ask them to review the "Double Take" exhibit and do a venn diagram today just to balance this influence -

I think I may have to go as far as a compare/contrats essay . . .

a little NPR and Pink Martini in the Subaru today to "balance" your influence . . .

Yep, when my 11 year old pulled out his Iron Maiden CD I almost cried I was so proud. Some how Momma Musky didn't see it the same way...but hell she likes C&W.

Ahhhh you rockin' little Woodchuck. You KNOW I knew who you were talking about! Not that I was huge fans of them, but I was a fan by default of the 'boyfriend' at the time (who became my husband!)

I'm just glad he didn't want to name our first born son George!

(Although he was almost named Zakk Sebastian... for Zakk Wylde and Sebastian Bach!)

Meritt - ah, but Maraya is named after the band Saraya and Elleah after the Donny Iris song "Ah, Leah"

Man, at least their middle names are quasi normal - from Star Trek!

Wild cow and Druish Deities

I have been blessed with being able to drive some of the most unbelievable roads ever paved. Last week I found myself on HWY 108 in Central California. 130 Miles 26% grade 9624 at the summit 4 hours to drive this route This photo is looking west just down from the summit. I could live here with the wild cows. A lone wild cow at the 9000 foot level just making sure that nobody is speeding along.

Today was a good day..

I'm flying home today from Phoenix, AZ. First good thing: I was moved from my favorite seat in coach to a window seat in first class. Second thing: The guy sitting next to me did not want to talk and left me alone on the flight. Third thing: The flight was smooth and on time. Fourth thing: I'm walking out of the gate area at the airport when a TSA guy calls me over and ask me if I wanted an item, because if not he was going to throw it away. And you know it would be darn shame to throw out a nice bottle of...... Yes, that is correct, a nice 750ml bottle of Sauza Tres Generaciones 100% Puro De Agave Tequila. I'm now very...very ........tanked. Thank you TSA. I'm a 40% by volume Woodchuck.

It seemed like a good ideal at the time...

The question has been asked and needs to be answered: So, you all know the type in high school, the "Jock". The Jocks ran my school like so many school around the country. And, of course, football players topped that heirarchy of the teen stratusphere. And this might come as a huge surprise to most, but I played Football. I had social responsibilities to up hold and order to maintain on campus. You might say we were the police, the law and order of the school. We patrolled the halls with an iron fist. The stoners stayed well behaved. The nerds were well protected in exchange for homework. Life was good. Then one sunny spring day a nice little "Miss Gloria Steinem wanna be," who wrote for the school paper, decides to write a story questioning the authority of the Football team. In this situation, most people would of course write a rebuttal. And this is exactly what we would have done, had any of us on the Football team been able to write. No luck on this one. Howeve...
