Babies!  

Someone brought their baby to the office today, and he played with my lanyard.  Then, my godsister Janice gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.  

Welcome to the world, Waike Mahal!

Planet Earth and the Circle of Life.

I watched NOVA, and it was about reintroducing predators into the wild.  Wolves in Yellowstone: good.  Bears in a European neighborhood:  maybe not so good.  Panthers controlling wild hogs in Florida: good.

Chick Songs by Dudes

The Dan Band
Saturday, April 5, 2014
The Coach House -- San Juan Capistrano, CA

Jenn wanted to share with us her favorite band (before she met Rockapella, and they became her favorite).   So off we went to San Juan Cap to see The Dan Band.

Opening act:  Groove Kitty
  • Since The Dan Band was going to do "chick songs", Groove Kitty treated us to a set list of "dude songs".  
  • I really liked the lead singer's bustier/corset.  
  • I also liked their song selection.  One of my favorites: Journey's "Any Way You Want It"
  • Great set!
Guy at table next to us allowed us to sit with him so that we could see better.  I can't remember his name  but we told him to see Rockapella when they come back there, because he's a regular.

The Dan Band
  • Their introduction was to the theme of "Wonder Woman".  Where are my silver bracelets?!
  • Dude in front row trying to punch Dan's balls:  you're drunk and you got escorted out in front of your girlfriend's parents.  Was that an uncomfortable ride home?
  • Wendy now wants to call people with white pants "Labor Day".
  • What the heck was that about the shoes?
  • I love the backup singers, with their choreography and their antics.
  • I like how Dan tells almost every woman he talks to, "I like you".
  • Nickname for person whom ate a baked potato and maybe had something in her teeth: "Chive"
  • Loved "Single Ladies", mostly because they showed Beyonce's video behind them, and you could see the guys doing every single move like those on the video.
  • I was scared to give Dan any eye contact because Jenn warned us.   I'm glad she warned us.
Look what I found by the stairs, at the top of the wall of photos, after the show!

If I had never joined the choir there way back when, I might not have ever met today's birthday girl, and I would have missed out on a wonderful friendship..

Happy Birthday, Linda!
