BIG NEWS!!!

OK. Not really. I can't back that up.

I just looked at the date on my last post and realized it's been almost a month since I've added any new content to the ol' blog. All I can say is I'm Sorry! I have been terribly busy (vacation, two U2 concerts a Metallica concert and a Kings of Leon concert, work work and more work, make-ups, break-ups, weddings, Keeneland, Big Blue Madness... you name it, I've done it!). It's been a taxing month to say the least!

Anyway, I never intended for the blog to be a place where I have to constantly apologize for my lack of activity, so let's just say I'll try to do better. Deal?

Now on to more important issues. A few random tidbits of coolness if you will:

-U2 live continues to amaze me. I had the good fortune to see them in Chicago and Atlanta during this tour. Simply amazing! If you're interested, their show from the Rose Bowl will be broadcast LIVE on YouTube Sunday night. No joke... U2 on YouTube! Get it?

-If the new Avett Brothers album isn't my favorite, then it at least ranks right up there with Mignonette and Four Thieves Gone...

-Modern Family could be my new favorite comedy currently airing on television. It really has an Arrested Development feel - to me, at least.

-The new Pearl Jam album ROCKS!!!

-No I haven't seen Zombieland yet. Please stop asking me. I'll get around to it, I promise!

-So far at Keeneland during this meet, I've only lost enough money to pay ONE jockey's salary!

-Welcome to basketball in Kentucky, Coach Cal! I don't think you knew we were THIS crazy!

-Congrats to good friends Faith and Lewie on their recent marriage!

-Speaking of good friends, I am overwhelmingly blessed with the best on earth! Be it family friends, high school friends, college friends, work friends, church friends or just "around town friends", you guys are awesome!

-I'm really excited about Halloween this year. Now let's just hope I don't have another hernia attack like last year...

-Have I mentioned that Chicago is the coolest city on the face of the planet?

-I'm sick of Jon and Kate, Octomom and Balloon Boy...

-No I haven't read Dan Brown's new book yet. Please stop asking me. I'll get around to it, I promise!


That's all for now. I know I still need to do a concert recap of U2, Metallica and Kings of Leon. Please stop asking me. I'll get around to it, I promise!
