The Eagles Concert!!!!!!!!

Saturday Karrie and I were lucky enough to go to the Eagles concert. The Eagles are probably some of the first music that I remember hearing growing up. I remember my Mom had an Eagles album that she played all the time. But I had never seen the Eagles live before. Now I have been to a few concerts starting when I was about 10 I went and saw KISS. I have seen bands like Def Leppard, Scorpions, Oingo Boingo, Howard Jones, Erasure, Journey, Styx, REO, etc. I think this might have been the best concert that I have ever been to. Before the concert I was wondering how a band like the Eagles who have been performing for so long, bring the energy every night. Well they were nothing short of AMAZING. Glenn Frey and Don Henley sounded incredible. I never realized how great Joe Walsh is on the guitar. They came on stage and played two of there newer songs and then for the next two hours it was all there good stuff. I don't remember a concert where every song was great. Glenn Frey was funny he came out and said "Welcome to the Eagles assisted living tour". This was there last stop in North America now they are headed to Europe for the summer. Karrie thinks we should follow them, that would be nice. I went to the concert as a casual Eagles fan and I left a FANatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Riley Cracks Me Up!

Well two weeks ago my Dad had open heart surgery. The night before the operation I took the kids in to the hospital to see him. He had been at the hospital all day under going about every test possible.We were all feeling very anxious about the surgery. As we visited with him he was telling all of us what they were going to do to him the next day. He told us all the i.v.'s he would have including one in his neck, the tube down his throat. How they would cut open his legs to take veins out for the bypass. Then he told us how they would take a saw and cut open his chest and then spread it apart. Not a pretty picture to say the least. Well Riley was sitting on the foot of his bed just taking all of this in. As my Dad finished the gruesome details Riley looked him straight in the eyes completely serious and said "Well atleast you don't have to get a Strep. test".
A week before Riley had been to the Dr. and they swabbed the back of her throat to test for strep. It was so funny and really lightened the mood. I guess it is all about perspective.
