Forgot

I forgot to update everyone on the concert of the year. It was GREAT. Pat Green was so good I would have really liked for him to do more. Gretchen Wilson came out next, now I saw Gretchen about a month b/f her first album came out, and she was ok. But boy this time around she was GREAT. Maybe its b/c I love all of her songs....but she was better than Kenny. Gretchen Wilson was born to sing country music. God just plopped her down in a trailer park and said, well do your best. She was AMAZING. I wish she was on for more time too. Pat Green brought his little one on stage, and Gretchen did a tribute to her little one, and also songs from her new album, California Girls, All Jacked Up, Skoal Ring, and a few others. She also came back on stage and did "Hurts so Good" by John Melloncamp w/ Kenny. Now Kenny was good, I ve seen him 3 times now, but then Uncle Kracker cam out too, and I thought that was wierd...even though they do do a song together. But Kenny is flamingly gay, although newly married, and just jumps around to much on stage. He seems to be going through the motions, where as Gretchen's singing is so heartfelt she brings her self to tears. Now thats preforming.
The one really good thing about Kenny, ( not that fact that he only weighs like 8 lbs more than me) was that two nights later I had a dream about him and Gretchen being at Sky Way. Very funny!

Also something I forgot to mention is that I am down to a size 6, which is what I wore for like 10 seconds in high school, so I am excited.
Anyway today i waxed my car, did 2 hours of Yoga, ran 2 miles, and lifted weights and did my abs, so I am sure i worked off the wonderful desert we had last night at the Cave Creek Roadhouse.
All is good, still busy....work tomorrow!

The view up close.

Why are they headed AWAY from the flames?

The infamous smoke plume.

We get to hear these planes all night, but it shows you what it looks like from above.

What it looked like at night!

"i fell in to a burning ring of fire...."

There are about 10 fires going on in the state, the Cottonwood fire near Tucson, another fire in Douglas, the Mummy Mountain fire in Paradise Valley/Phoenix, a fire about 50 miles west of Wikenburg, the Sunset point fire off of the 17 high way, a fire near Gila Bend, and another one somewhere else in the state. If you happen to find the very clever map of this on the internet, it appears the whole state is on fire, its very Johnny Cash.

yeah so working 7 days a week makes me very busy...so no email updates....just a blog for now..
On the Agenda this week:
