Heart/Journey/Cheap Trick

What a concert...if you are a lover of 80's music, that is.
Heart rocked and was my favorite, of course.
They won me over even more (if that's possible) by playing a few tunes acoustic style.
Nancy broke out the mandolin...Ann sang like only she can. Wow.
Plus, the new guy with Journey was fantastic. Sounded even better than Steve P. I know...surprising.
And to top it all off, someone showed up in full 80's attire:
Big Hair
Big, Hot Pink Hoop Earrings
Blue Jean Mini Skirt
and...(wait for it)
Striped LEG WARMERS

...and, no. It wasn't me. Although the thought did cross my mind.

Grand Lux Cafe

If you are a fan of pot roast, might I recommend the Braised Short Ribs at Grand Lux Cafe.
I had the pleasure if eating them in Houston and Denver last week, Houston winning with more of the delicious red wine reduction.
Also, if you like chocolate cake...order their chocolate molten cake when you order your entree. They prepare each one individually and it takes 20-30 minutes. It's just the best.

Toyota Highlander

So I got to do a cool photo shoot last week--
One of the designers in our office created a wrap to go on a Highlander Hybrid.
They asked me to take some photos.

FYI. I'm currently driving a non-hybrid version. Great car.
It's got a smooth ride, good turning radius, very roomy (especially the second row) and you sit up high enough to see what's going on around you. Go check one out---if you're in the market.

Thirty-Five

So, I'm another year older...even though I said I stopped counting at 32.
We had a big party this year. A good ol' fashioned themed party complete with an ice cream cake and party favors for the kids.

Those were the big hits of the party---lollipops that light up and blink. The little guy in the picture has been rationing his out, his parents tell me.
If any of you are having parties soon, you must have these lollipops. Let me know and I'll ship you a pack....
