My last gig with the Symphony of The Mountains was a doosie! We were quite busy! Three outdoor Concerts, in three days, in three states! Although it required quite a bit of driving, it was still pretty fun. The concert was long and made more difficult by the fact that each outdoor venue was majorly different. It was worth it none the less. I was able to get some work done for my day job. You remember, slaving away for the man?! But, I was also able to get some time to take a few … [Read more...]

But, just for the tablet. I … [Read more...]

This device in all it's glory would only be available from 3 locations; The Microsoft store, Staples and, Best Buy.

February 2, 2013 - Groundhog day - SNOWPACALYPSE in Fountain City! It was a normal Saturday morning...
