Tomorrow is the first night of the Lake Harbor “Music on the Lake” series. Show is called AMERICANA: A Roots Music Journey through America featuring musicians such as Gayle Chapman (formerly with PRINCE), Jimmy Bivins, Kevin Sam, and Tracy Underwood. John Knox on drums and Richard Soliz on bass. Here’’s the flyer (attached) - music starts at 6 pm. Hope to see lots of your smiling faces. Jo Fryberger and crew will be on hand for purchasing drinks and soft drinks. The Kanak Attack will serve pulled pork etc. Great food! I’ve personally eaten their grub! It is awesome!

Maybe this graffitti artist should sell the TV instead and buy us both a dictionary.

Found this on the back side wall of the Idaho building. (thanks Micheal)

So, are all(both) of you on vacation too. After weeks of witty comments you all seem to have quieted down. I miss it.
Anyone can comment, just hit the “comments” button at the bottom of any story.

Can there be anything better then a pair of Mickey ears and being piggy back for a fireworks show in Epcot?

Disney World or Yosemite?Yosemite is like the girl next door. Natural, looks great in shorts and hiking boots. Up for any adventure, maybe a row of freckles along her nose.
Disney World, well she’s a super model. All make up, botox and enhancements. Flashy outfits and glitter everywhere. She is entertaining and fast, and how do you say a good ride.
History is from the beginning of time at Yosemite, ancient glaciers ripped through the valley and natives have likely lived under the falls of Yosemite as long as there have been people in north America. History at Disney is late 20th century, all concrete and glass. Each, river, plant and animal placed perfectly. Disney is a marvel to mans ability to make things happen, Yosemite a marvel of natures power.

Can you love both the super model and the girl next door. Why not, after all they are both stunning and fun.

Was lucky enough to catch just a bit of Rebecca Scotts set at Old Chicago(yes Old Chicago) Thursday night. Pretty much the old band. The tight harmonies of Deb and Becca never sounded better. Even wedged in the front of a Yuppie pizza joint it sounded great, I’ll be back for more. You should be too.

Found this street sign before 8th on Main street downtown Boise.
It is even funnier because there is no right hand turn for two blocks at sixth. Guess if we confuse the tourists enought they will go home.

OK, So I’m 50. It’s the new 40 right. My 40’s were good.

I’m in Disney World with great family.
My freinds old and new are the best bunch I have ever had. I’ve still got hair, most of my teeth and good health. I love 50, well maybe not love-but as George Burns said, , , it’s better than the alternative.

After being rejected for the old Boise National Bank building at 8th and Bannock it sounds as if big time national steakhouse chain Ruth Chris will land in the penthouse of the Royal Building. Had a Ruth Chris meal in Hawaii last summer. It was wonderful and priced like it. Guess Boise is becoming a big city. Can even a high class venue like Ruth Chris come close to the old Royal. Hard to do.

Each year the Pair crew dresses up and puts on a show for the Martini Mix Off.

Last years “Cocktails at Tiffany’s†was a tough act to follow. Gotta’ say this year was a step up. Lilke a step up to dance on the bar step up. Dressed as a very classy Madame from Boise’s more colorful past. Owner Christine and her “Girls†Jen, Nikki, and Jamie were very attentive to the judges and the customers. With Sheriff Mitch and dude Nicole close by the bar was a working mans dream for a while last night. So Christine whatta going to do next year?

The ever changing Kat’s in Nampa has changed again. Just heard from Richard Soliz. Apparently the new owners are not going to Hip Hop as Cindie Lee believed. Kat’s will drop the House of Blues moniker and concentrate on classic rock. House band Riff Raff will continue to play and Richard has been booked for at least a weekend a month.
Anybody else have a take on Kat’s?

Happy Birthday to me. Thanks for the present family. Her name is Kloi.
At 7 months she is full of energy but sits, fetches most of the time and is potty trained. OK, she ate part of a plant, and looks longingly at shoes, but she is a good dog so far.
What do you think? Obedience training for us. Teach an old dog and a young one new tricks!!!
