Rounding out the Year

Women's Week is but a recent memory and now we can start the count down to The Blob's one year anniversary. The skeptics, cynics, sayers (both nay and doom), mockers, and doubting Thomases will have to eat humble pie with a nice side of crow as year two begins on may 6th. Notes of congratulations from around the globe should be arriving any day now and all my readers should stay tuned for some big changes and a flurry of festivities. Until then and in lieu of any inspired flights of whimsy I'll share some musical selections that are sure to bring a smile. Let's start with 5 trombones (count 'em!!), add a rhythm section led by an old Cuban named Manny Oquendo (the Count Basie of timbaleros), turn them lose on a Puerto Rican beat called a Plena and let's see what happens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUHmwo1-X_o
Tax time (now) and the end of summer are when I have my two guaranteed bouts of seasonal depression. I'm managing to fend this one off thanks to a not insignificant return and by listening to this song over and over again. I love YouTube!!!!

Dear Blob,

Congratulations in 3 days! Tax return? We don't pay here so no such pleasure.

HUGE thunderstorm here today - had to go through 3 lakes to make it to work. Poor tourists...though a lot of them have left the rock, yay or nay? Lousy drivers, keep going on the wrong side of the road!

Cheers,
PG
