Rock Out, School’s Out!

The Rubber Band played at yet another block party on June 13th to celebrate the end of school and the start of summer break. We played for about an hour-and-a-half, running through about twenty songs.

Good photographs were few and far in-between this go around. I stole this one from a GoPro we clipped onto the speaker stand.

I think everyone had a good time. The only complaint was a lack of water bottles – but that’s what happens when six guys plan a party. Beer? Plenty. Water bottles? None.

My oldest daughter, Ashley, and I.

The band is going to take a much needed break for the next two weeks before hitting it hard for our upcoming gig at Rancho Bernardo’s upcoming Oktoberfest celebration, “Rancho Beer-nardo”.

Keep livin’ life,

Pica, dog eating rocks
My dog, Chip, has developed a taste for rocks.

My dog, Chip, has developed a taste for rocks. This is addition to his eclectic taste for other household items including crayons, pens, Lego, and toothbrushes. Up until the rock everything had passed through with flying colors ( yes, even the toothbrush ). The rock cost more than I’d like to admit to extricate. Let’s just say I paid as much for his rock, as my wife’s.

While picking him up at the vet I was told there are many repeat offenders, one patient even consuming the same rock that was just extricated. For several months afterwards Jodie and I would only walk Chip with a “Hannibal Lecter”-esque muzzle on. This of course concerned other people we ran into while walking him.

“Wow… is your dog mean?!?”, I’d get asked.

“No, not mean”, I’d reply, “Just stupid.”
