"Wow" moments & a cathedral. Ho-hum....

Well "Hello" World's !!

It's another day, here in England..... it's quite cold outside, not that I've been very far - but, B has just gone out for a few hours.. and as I waved her off, from the front door... well, it was cold !!

I've spent most of the day, either in bed - or watching TV... mostly old 'Time Team' shows... where they were digging into our Anglo Saxon period of history - I like that type of stuff !! History & everything that goes with it..... Oh well...

The family....well, I'm home alone !! With J over in Wales & ME out working today.... that just leaves me & the cats !! As mentioned, B has just gone out - hence... I'm here on my ownsome !! No big deal... I have the music on & the heating to keep me warm, so life is good !!

I think ME will be home about 9 or 10pm... and B will be home about 8-ish - so, I have the whole evening to myself !! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my sense of "freedom".... but, I'm sure I will find something to occupy my little mind !!

Anyhoo - that's the family....

As for the music... I have had an afternoon of Molly Hatchet...... It was their 2004 'Live In Hamburg' DVD & it really rocked along !! Especially their medley of 'Layla' & 'Dreams'.... two great tracks - made even better (if that was possible) by the Molly's !! The tracks are:

  1) Intro
  2) Whiskey Man
  3) Bounty Hunter
  4) Gator Country
  5) Moonlight Dancing On The Bayou
  6) Fall Of The Peacemakers
  7) Devil's Canyon
  8) Drum Solo
  9) Beatin' The Odds
10) Son Of The South
11) The Creeper
12) The Rainbow Bridge
13) Keyboard Solo
14) Instrumental (Layla)
15) Guitar Solo
16) Dreams I'll Never See
17) The Journey
18) Gone In Sixty Seconds
19) Jukin' City
20) Flirtin' With Disaster

I think I've got the tracks right... whichever.... you can buy the DVD & give it a good listen - it's well worth your cash !!

The music of the moment, well - it's a live set by Gov't Mule... but, to be honest, I don't know exactly where it's from !! It's good tho' - so, go out & buy some Mule, for yourself - you will not be disappointed !!

As mentioned earlier - I spent a fair bit of the day, in bed.... mostly asleep !! I don't know what it is - but, the pills & potions, that I take in the mornings, just send me right back to sleep !! It's crazy - I can't sleep at night - with-out a lot of help - yet the pills they have me on, in the mornings, send me right back to noddy land !! Crazy... really crazy !!

Tomorrow - afternoon - I have to meet up with my Consultant again & I can try & sort out a few questions I have for him.... mostly along the lines of "Do I really need this plastic surgery" and "How much longer, do I have to stay on these pills & potions ?"

It would be really great, not only to get off of some of the 60+ pills I take everyday - but, in the end... really to have a some idea about what is going to happen !! I can't stay like this much longer - I'm really getting fed up with everything now.... sooooo many pills & no real "end game" in sight !!

Nevermind - life is good.... even if it sucks sometimes !!

I had really hoped to have some new music & stuff, to listen to to.... but, it seems that the guys at "Play.com" like to take your money & then sit on your goods - I'm guessing that's how they make their money !! Oh well....

I can recommend an outfit - who work thru' "Play" called 'Speedyhen'... or something like that !! I've picked up a few things from them - and to be honest, they really do live up to the name !! They send the Cd's & stuff out quickly & I think that's a bonus !!

Ok - my plans for the rest of the night... well, none at all really !! If I was a football fan, I would give the England match a bit of a look - but, as I don't care two ways or another, if England wins or not... I'm not going to waste my time !!

There is a programme on, about one of our really local landmarks - the cathedral of Wells. If you're lucky enough to be able to watch it, please make the effort - it's a fantastic building & worth everybody's time to have a look see !!

Ok - I know a lot of you live in different countries, around the World - and believe me, I appreciate your time.... but, if you get chance, watch the programme - it's going to be good !! Mind you - I'm bias, as my Wife & Dearest Friend, B.... well - she was raised in that area & we kind of know it well !! So much so, that B's Dad 'phoned a short while ago, to double check which channel the programme was on..... It's going to be good... and I'm looking forward to watching it !!

I've just realized - I'm still listening to the Gov't Mule set, that I put on, at the start of my post, tonight !! That's a bit of a "Wow"
moment !! I forgot just how good it was - and playing it, as background music, well - it has taken me by surprise.... just a bit !!

What do i mean... by a "Wow" moment ? Well.... kind of hard to explain really..... but.....

Way back when - a group of people (maybe one or two) were going over some data, from some kind of space telescope thingy... don't ask me, which type - I have no idea !! Anyhoo - at some point, one of them, realized he or she was looking at something a bit special, on one of the computer print-outs.... something that looked like a "signal" from space..... yep, I know - all kind of "Star Trek". But - he wrote the word "Wow" beside the signal, on his bit of paper - and since then, I've used the same "terminology", when I've had a - what I call, a "Wow" moment....

.... one of which.... well !!

To explain, I had a Son, before I met B & to be honest, I never really expected to see or hear from him, at all..... mainly as his Mum had taken him 3000+ miles away from England, when he was 10 months old !!

Then - one day, when the kid was about 14 years old, I had a letter from him, that's what I call a "Wow" moment !! When I wrote back to him - I used the word "Wow" to open my letter - I think he missed the point, but that's what it meant to me !!

Oh well - moving on..... No, wait !! I had another "Wow" moment today.... A lady, in America, had posted a picture of the full moon, on her blog page...... it's the same full Moon, that I had seen the previous night !! It's  the same full Moon - well, sort of, that you will see, right now, in our night sky.... go open a door & check it out.... we're all looking at the same Moon, no matter what Country we live in !! That's got to be, another "Wow" moment !!

Ok - that's enough for tonight.... I had better be on my ways !! For now tho' - as always, I thank you for taking the time to log in & read my words.... until next time...

Bye Bye
