Z to A: Asia

No, not Asia the continent. Another great band from the 80's.

Hope you enjoy these two videos and the blog will be back to regular programming tomorrow.

Z to A: Beau Torbert

It looks like Beau Torbert has retired from baseball after being cut by the Atlanta Braves after Spring Training. He had a great run in Independent Ball. He did reach AAA as a member of the Astros organization. However being cut by the Tigers and Braves recently and continuing to grow older appear to have dampened Beau's baseball dreams. I wish him success in his next venture whatever that may be.

Z to A: Cole

There is a new musical about Nat King Cole by the Penumbra Theatre called "I Wish You Love." It made it's World Debut on April 21, 2011. It will be making a short stay at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. opening on June 11, 2011 and running through June 19, 2011.

Stayed tuned to the blog as I mightr be covering this for a new writing venture...

Z to A: Devon Allman's Honeytribe

Devon Allman and his band Honeytribe will be playing the Western Maryland Blues Festival next Saturday at 1PM. If you like Blues, Southern Rock, and Jam Rock then this band is not one to miss. I did catch the band down at Wanee and they put on a heck of a show.

Z to A Challenge: Ernie Hawkins

Next Sunday Ernie Hawkins will be performing for free at the Western Maryland Blues Fest in Hagerstown, Maryland. He will be performing 2PM-3:15PM at the City Park.He will also be conducting a free workshop from 12-12:45.

Z to A: Family Fun

I do a lot. Work, write, and then I do a few things just for me. So, when it is family time I try to go out. Most Tuesdays I go to family day at the Chick. Saturdays I watch movies with my daughter at the Opera House. I am trying to do more with my teenage son. My wife too! Sometimes she benefits from a cool writing assignment.

Today has been work, then the gym, then two hours at the Chick. Saturday two movies at the Opera House. Sometime this weekend I will probably go the Festival around the corner.

Busy, busy, busy

Z to A:Gym

Went to the gym today. So, I am up to three weeks in a row going to the gym twice a week. Still, have a long way to go to get n shape. Plus I have gained back a few extra pounds.
