As we start the one week countdown to Avery's surgery, I continue to learn about others that have been through this. The video below about "Mary", recounts her and her family's experience regarding the surgery to correct her 75 degree curve (Avery has a 52 degree curve). Ironically Mary went to the same schools as Avery. Centennial Middle School and Mountain Pointe High School.…
Well once again the date says it's Saturday but not here. So still time to post a world music video as promised. Here's the legendary Femi Kuti; son of African icon Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Femi was born in London on 16 June 1962 to Fela and Remi Kuti and grew up in the former Nigerian capital, Lagos. His mother soon left his…
Long time between posts. After the election I had to catch my breath. It's a relief to not feel glued to the day's scandalous election topic. Now there's much to do. Preparing for Avery's surgery and aftercare. He should be back in the swing of things by end of January. I'm taking the next step and leasing a studio in the Garfield Galleria.

The BBC's Justin Webb said the result would have a profound impact on the US. "On every level America will be changed by this result... [it] will never be the same," he said
"The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, is an amazing book. So simple yet so profound, it is always life-changing to those who read it. Here are some quotes from the book that have touched many... * It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. (p11) What's the world's greatest lie? It's this: that at a certain point in our…
It isn't voter fraud. Will all the folks who seem to think the "fabric of our democracy" is being threatened, take a deep breath and read that again... It isn't voter fraud. I know you want to believe it. I know you are deliriously convinced that there is an organized effort underway to steal the election from the apparently much more deserving McCain/Palin ticket.

The annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner was held tonight in New York City. It was truly a refreshing respite from the deteriorating 2008 Presidential campaign. Here was Senators McCain & Obama, in white ties and tails, hilariously roasting each other in front of fellow politicos from both parties, as well as notable members of the media and local diocese.
