This is such a powerful Day.

Memorial Day 2008 depicts conflicts over the years slow to get going but worth it

Wishing everyone a happy memorial day.

A remake of the video I did last weekend, done mostly as a request. Leave a comment, let me know what you think.

I took out my bike to the lakefront today. Beautiful day. Everybody was BBQing. lots of joggers and bikers. Joggers=weirdos
I love to people watch. People are so interesting and yes, weird.
Well, I biked   more...to Navy Pier. I have another video coming.
Today, I remember my best friend from high school, Chris Walsh, who died last year in Iraq. He was a Navy Corpsman (medic for the Marines). and I remember the time when we maced a squirrel because we were stupid.
This is Yo la Tengo singing 'little eyes' off their 'Summer Sun' album. It's a good album. pretty relaxing. I like all their stuff. and that's my review.  less

Slideshow for Our Troops overseas Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

This is what goes through the mind of a Vet... Every year about this time!!!

With Memorial day apon us let us not forget those who have and still do fight every day for our freedom, while we celebrate with family picnics and watch fire works with friends let us not forget that   more...the men and women protecting us are still out there fighting for us. God bless them.  less

Memorial Day Weekend 2008 in San Diego

Argh! Well, I wish I took more shots. I think I was a little restless, hungry, had to pee. I do like some of them. I love the shot of the ride where the people are hanging by the wire and they spin around.   more...I used to love that ride. I gotta go an amusement park. I haven't been for years. that's sad. I love any type of ride.
The Navy Pier is touristy. It's a good place to take your kids. This is the Sea and Cake. One of my favorite bands. This is 'Parasol' off their 'Nassau' album. It's great. They have this laid-back, lounge style. I recommend their early albums, this one and 'The biz' and 'the fawn' I just got their new, but I'm a bit disappointed.  less

Hope everyone has a good weekend, party it up, but ride safe, and remember why you've got Monday off.

http://www.hometown-heroes.org/, Did you know there are over 23 million military veterans living in the U.S. today? They are neighbors, parents, co-workers, employees, grandparents, PTA members, baseball   more...coaches, grocery store workers, teachers, firemen, friends - they live, work and play in your hometown.

There are millions more that live in our minds and hearts since they have deceased.

The blanket of freedom under which we live was woven by our veterans and we are looking for stories from ALL veterans, regardless of when, where, and how they served. Each has a unique story and together they tell the story of the sacrifice that has won and continues to secure our Freedom. They are America's Veteran Story!  less

Down in Myrtle Beach for Memorial Day '08. I get it in...

4th and final video in this series. Just more rambling, and a quick ride-by view of a MX track. Oh, and more great views.

3rd video in this series. I talk about the farms I'm passing, and looking for new boots, but not finding them. Not really interesting, but really nice scenery. I beeped out the mega retailer I was shopping   more...for boots at my own protection because I was half complaining about them.  less

Evil and The Ronz attend our local ceremony

1st video of my short Memorial Day ride. I talk a little about my new earbud headphones I'm trying out, and my new rear tire. Oh, I was zooming in on 2 scooters at the beginning of the video. It's nice   more...to see more people enjoying 2 wheels these days. One more thing, be sure to watch to the end, there's a cool view.

As a holiday, Memorial Day is usually portrayed as a day of celebration, the "unofficial" beginning of summer, picnics, barbeque's, playing in the park or in the back yard. But to the millions   more...of us that have served and "tasted the price of freedom", it has a far more solemn meaning!  less
