Off topic share. Alash - Tuvan Throat Singers

I remember Pepe, had that funny avatar. For a long time, I'd make plans and ignore half of them, partially from lack of will, some from counting steps on these worn out pegs of mine, but my game has been picking up lately. I've done the local pow-wow at the rez and it's quite interesting, but the second time around, bird songs, drum circles, and grand processions have a certain sameness. It's nice to see the folks there doing so well, and the buffet at the casino is terrific. This weekend is the Nascar race in Fontana. Cindy and I used to watch and attend then, because it was a cheap thing to do. Now every guy I've known who retires, starts watching Nascar, gets tattoos and a Harley, and buys a towable toy barn with ATV's for offroading. It's like retirement comes with it's own rat race to run, LOL. I get talked into things and it's fun, like these races, but I really wish I still could hike like you and your canyon, the Grand Canyon, these mountains around me. Maybe I'll start pushing for the ankle replacements, but I'm so mentally tired of surgery and hospitalizations so it's going to take a lot of wanting to make it happen. One thing is true, after all this, I'm open to any new experience, life is too brief to not try things, so I'll keep reaching, as I know you do. Send those singers this way, Tru................................................................Dave

So glad that you got a nice night out and some great entertainment.  Awww Pepe he was a wonderful soul.  Always trying to get the members to think of something else and just concerned about others.  He always commented about the huge turkey we made for Thanksgiving because his oven was so small it would never fit.  Hope that the place you went last night will bring some more local talent to your part of the city.
