I guess I didn't do too well on my pledge to update this blog every other day or so. Oh Well.
Jack and I have been back from the U.P. for a week now. We really wish that we were still up there. We had alot of fun. When we got back we both started new jobs. I started a temporary job in St. Clair Shores that should last another week or so. Jackie started working at the DTE Royal Oak service center since they shut down the Lapeer customer service station where she was working.
There are some pictures of the "Good Old Days" beer tent trip on my main website.
I haven't been writing or recording at all lately. I played with "House Music" last night for the first time in a couple of months.
My study of Leonardo Da Vinci continues.
I'm sorry I really thought I had more to write.

Paradise Pt.2
I meant to write yesterday but I forgot. By the way you can check out the "Northern Estate" where Jackie and I are spending time this week by clicking HERE.
Sunday night Jackie and I watched "Rome" on HBO. I had heard there was a lot of nudity in the show but I didn't think there was, too bad. I thought it was a really good show and we saw the first two episodes. Unfortunately we don't have HBO at home so those are the only two episodes that we will see until it comes out on DVD.
Yesterday Jack and I went to Sault St. Marie. I bought another book on Leonardo Da Vinci and a "Recording" magazine. We also went to the "Dollar Tree" where we struggled in vain to find a copy of "Gamera vs. Monster X" on DVD. Norm and Sass bought it while they were up here and we watched it. It is one of the greatest films in the history of cinema. While in the Soo we ate at Clyde's hamburger place. Both Jack's parents and her Aunt and Uncle told us that we had to check out Clyde's for their big burger. Well they weren't kidding. We split the hamburger between us because it was really big. Good stuff.
We also visited with Jack's Aunt Barb and Uncle Dennis for a while last night. It was nice to relax a little and talk with them. They also have a beautiful place up here. You can check out their website by clicking HERE.
We watched "Rome: Engineering An Empire" last night on the history channel. While Jackie has always been interested in ancient Rome for it's political power struggles, I have always been interested in it's inventions and engineering feats. The show on the History Channel centered on the design and construction of the aquaducts, the Coliseum, the Parthenon, and other structures.
I tried all weekend to receive a pirate broadcast on the shortwave radio. I figured that Labor Day weekend would be a great time to hear a pirate but I heard nothing. Damn Pirates.
I mentioned that I had brought my Martin acoustic guitar up here. Yesterday Jackie and I sat by the creek and I played old country songs while she read. It was really nice.
Tonight we are going to sit on the beach, look at the stars, and drink some alcohol.

Paradise
I am writing this, sitting about 35 feet away from Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior.
Jack and I are up in Paradise for a week. We came up Friday evening. Norm and Sass were up here but they left this morning. Jack's Uncle Dennis and Aunt Barb are up here for a couple days as well.
Me and Jack are looking forward to a week of R&R. We don't plan on doing too much up here other than a trip to St. Sault Marie and the occasional aimless drive around the area. I brought up my Martin acoustic guitar, my shortwave radio, the XM radio, and books on Leonardo Da Vinci. Jackie brought up some books and she plans on putting some puzzles together.
Yesterday we basically hung out with Norm and Sass. We got ice cream uptown but there wasn't much of a selection left. Last night we hung out on the backporch and looked at the water and stars.
Also I wanted to let everyone know that Ozzy, the Archer family dog for the last 16 years passed away last week. I wanted to bring up a picture of Ozzy to post on this page but I forgot. Ozzy was the best dog that anyone could have and he will be missed. He rocked hard.
I will try to write more tommorrow but we have a big day planned of sitting on our asses.
