When I saw this I failed to come up with a word which describes it.  What word would you pick?

Han Solo Gangnam Style

Thanks for you consideration.

I have been watching one of the most Gut busting series I have ever seen.  It is called An Idiot Abroad.

In that I was introduced to Karl Pilkington.   I started watching some other conversations on video and in audio from this man.  LOL.  On the surface some people might judge this man as being a moron.  I have to tell you though, if he is.... he is still a brilliant teacher who does impart a unique perspective on the world.  For that I want to recognize his…

This is controversial.  Google it and you will know why.  I didn't think it would ever see the light of day.

And I happen to be Team Sarah on this, not Team TED.

What the heck is so special about TED anyway?

TED TALKS 2

Uh Syd, you may have dropped the F bomb once or twice in the video.   So if you are watching this with any family members who you don't want to subject to that kind of language please send them from the room.... or put on a set of head phones.

That is all.

I am just so danged excited.  I miss ES Posthumus, and this is the next best thing. 

link to buy MP3, Itunes or CD

Something tells me it that 2012 is going to be a real hot year!  Enough of t2011 already!

Happy New Years you guys.

love yas.

One of the saddest pieces of news I heard last year was one of the two Brothers who made up ES Posthumus had died.  you have heard their music (check the link).... if not on TV, in some of Peter's vids, or even in a couple CollectiveSoul teasers.

As this year turns things around.... The surviving brother, Helmut has started a new band... and there are shades of ES Posthumus in the compositions and instrumentals.  

Check out the music:…

If you catch it just at the right time you can hear the concert from 1974 with the original show video screen footage.

I might add Brilliant!

I hastened the demise of my best friend this morning.  He lived 4 months and two days post his diagnosis of lymphoma.   He was unique.   So independent, so smart was he that I am sure although he was domesticated, some of his lineage was not.  One word describes my red boy..... Perfect.

He walked outside in the backyard today before he came back in and laid where the Vet drugged him to death... no joy... just going through the motions as he did yesterday, and somewhat the day…

First off Kirb is still with us.  He has done extremely well, but I the past couple days his lymph nodes in his neck are much larger... I suspect this is a sign that the disease is progressing rapidly.  He still goes on walks, eats vigorously chases hawks out of the yard and tries to be normal around the rest of the pack....  but I know the disease is catching up with him, and this time I don't think I can alleviate some of the discomfort.  We shall see.  He had a very excellent week  up…

Airing the dirty laundry I guess these days.

Just stopping by to say Kirb is thriving on the Prednisone , Astralagus and Maritime Pine Bark Extract, although I am not giving him near the dose of Prednisone prescribed.   I know though, that how he appears is a lie. He is still very sick, but at least he is able to enjoy things.

Yesterday it seemed Kirb had hours and not weeks.   He went from being perfectly active the day he went to the Vet (walked a good 5 miles) to yesterday, me having to lift him up to stand and setting him down as he tried to lay down.  He was hunched in pain and stiff when he attempted to walk.  He would pant a bit from the pain.  I gave him a dose of Prednisone and today he is back to his normal self, running to the door to be first to greet us, and anxious to have his walk as he pulled Ann's…

I made the video Orange Sky last year in honor of my orange dog, Kirb last year.   He just turned 10 years.    Every morning I greet him with the phrase "Every day is a beautiful, wonderful, glorius  gift."  This became ritual with us following the death of his older brother who passed back in 2004 and Kirb idolized.   His brother died of a secondary lymphoma which started with a cancer of the spleen,

Kirb  was diagnosed with lymphoma today.   That usually carries a prognosis…

It's 19 degrees outside.  I am standing in the shadow of this building.  I knelt to extinguish candle after candle in this place where 5 people's lives where extinguished less than a month ago.   It was not exactly what I had signed up for, but I guess it brought me to this place I had avoided now for weeks despite its close proximity to home.   We discussed how things were to be separated, cleaned, dried, and placed in boxes.   Like some sort of dreadful assembly line we each took to a task…
