If you have just bought one of my new Costa Rica Art-O-Mat pieces, thank you.
Now share a little about yourself.
Who are you? Where are you from?
What city, state did you et your piece in. What piece did you get?
Where are you going to put it, or are you going to give it to someone as a gift?

If you live in MILWAUKEE or WISCONSIN for that matter, you definitely know that this Labor Day Weekend is the HARLEY-DAVIDSON 105th Anniversary celebration. Of course, all the local businesses want to cash in on the hundreds and thousands of bikers from around the world that are in town this weekend. Many of these businesses, have signs out in front of their business or store telling people H-D Riders are welcome. This is by far the best sign I’ve seen this weekend.

Here is my “Top 10 Most Played” songs off my Ipod.

1. Last Night In Town “Lucero”
2. I Wanna Destroy You “The Circle Jerks”
3. Kiss the Bottle “Jawbreaker”
4. Hurricane “The Championship”
5. Forest Whitiker “Brother Ali”
6. Beer For Breakfast “The Replacements”
7. Buttercorn Lady “Art Blakey” w/ The Jazz Messengers
8. Sailin’ On (Rock for Light) “Bad Brains”
9. Smart Went Crazy “Atmosphere”
10. West Wye “Avail”

I found this on a blog today and I had to share it.

It’s been a while since my last blog… but I have an excuse, really. My wife and I just bought and moved into a new home, and have been scrubbing it from head to toe, for eight to ten hours a day, for the last ten days. Ugh… This is a self-portrait I did of Maxine and myself after the first ten hour scrubbing session, on our very first day in our new home.

Though I’m a regular blood donor, I had no idea I reached the 4 gallon mark. I received this certificate in the mail this week. It’s hanging on my fridge!

It was 731 days (leap year) ago to day that I tricked Maxine into saying I DO.
Happy Anniversary, I love you.
