A new career? Friday, Oct 13 2006 

I’ve been watching OG around the piano and the guitar and she seems to be picking up the knack for playing these instruments.  At least figuring out how they work and showing huge enthusiasm.   It might be time to shift my career into the music industry.

I think the world is ready for another family band a la Partridge Family, Hanson, Jackson 5.  Lord knows how well they did financially and how it kept the families together living a healthy normal functioning life.

The first move should be to go out and find a crooked materialistic agent but I’m going to hold off on that.  I’m more interested in coming up with a name for the band that will consist of Olivia, myself and Sonia (although she hasn’t bought into the idea yet).

How about “L’il O.G. and the Furious 2″?  Although we’re not big into Hip Hop (in fact I don’t even know what style we’re going to play) it is kind of catchy.  Or how about “The Roach Experiment (featuring L’il O.G.)”?

When is that day? Friday, Oct 13 2006 

Have I reached midlife when I listen to ‘Like A Rock’ by Bob Seger and instead of being the guy he sings about, I am relating to the words of the song itself?  I never really understood that song until now.  Those Seger and Springsteen songs are now making way too much sense to me.

This photo is possibly the most perfect visualization of what “Pure Joy” is:
