The 2 Russells

Well, I hear from reliable sources that the newest addition to Air Supply, guitarist Russ Letizia, sounds great with the band and is a nice guy too. (once again I'm guilty of swiping the pics, this time from Russ's MySpace page.) I'll get the chance to see/hear for myself in 4 weeks. (Assuming he will still be around by then.) :d)

Frankie

OK...I had to go get nosy about just who shot that UTUBE video I stuck in the previous post. You'd think I'd learn not to ask questions like that, but NOOOO.... Anyway, regardless it was fun to watch him. I've decided that he looks like a cross between Jonni and Jed though. LOL.... He is a cutie, no matter how ya look at him. (I swiped the pic from his Facebook page...sorry Frankie, but hey...good publicity, right? heehehee)

Air supply video

A nifty clip of Air Supply last weekend in California . Thanks to my dear friend Khan (who was at this show, but did not film this clip) for providing the link. Some good views of Frankie Moreno who is filling in for Jed this month, (and looks remarkably like Jed) also new guitar player Russ Letizia. I've never seen Graham in short sleeves in any of the shows I've been too; different look for him. The guys look and sound great as always, and whets the appetite for next months shows here in Oregon. (The person who filmed this was apparently obsessed with Mr. Moreno...LOL)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUuc7sosZLY

Snow on the coast

Well, today it snowed in Newport. Lots of snow. (well, not a lot stuck on the ground, but lots fell) It was just beautiful for several hours. Big, honkin', huge snow flakes...used to call that "Christmas Eve snow" back in Idaho. It was really fun to watch, and because it was snowing, it was very slow at work. We had plenty of time to stand around and watch. Tomorrow is inventory day, so we were glad we had today to sing some Christmas songs. heehee

Lazy/not hazy day

Well, Mom had her first eye (cataract surgery) done this morning, so we are just hanging out at her house. When my friend had hers done, she was really sleepy all day long, but Mom is very awake and alert and doing fine. I was able to stay with her while they were prepping her and it was quite interesting. There were about 12 people there filtering in a few at a time starting with us at 6:30am. We were glad she was 2nd on the list! We were out of there by 9:15 and she refuses to stay quiet!! (typical) I keep insisting she stay down like her instructions said to do, but she keeps hopping up. (guess she doesn't think i can make toast by myself, eh?)(no comments there from anyone...) We get to go to the dr's office at 1:15 this afternoon to have the patch removed and eye checked, and she can't drive for 24 hours. 2 weeks from now the other eye will be done, so that will be nice to have it over. She was pleased there really wasn't anything to it. The actual procedure only takes 10-20 minutes. By the time I was called back in there, she was in a chair drinking juice and doing fine.

Well, hopefully I will be going to SLC this summer, then on to Jackson and Yellowstone. I'll know if my time is approved in the next week or so.
