Time Flies...This Acid World

So, Tuesday night I got together with my friend Joy at our favorite Irish pub (25 cent wing night!). She had a show to go to that night - and I tagged along with her. Why? Because it's an artist that I really like...

It seems like a million years ago I discovered a musician named Peter Himmelman. I was still living in the DC area when I first heard his music. I went and saw him for the first time in New York, opening for the Innocence Mission.


Time passes. I moved to New York and the label/distribution company that I was working for ended up signing Peter to the label. I was fortunate to be part of the extended/inner circle and got to see, do and learn some really cool things.


So...what is the point of all of this walk down memory lane? Let's just fast-forward to this week.

Joy and I walk into the venue (The Mint) and there's one guy on stage. She says as a throw-off, "Oh, that's his son." His son sounds a lot like him and is playing a piano, solo, on stage. I start to do math in my head. It only takes a few seconds for me to figure out what's going on. I realize that this ADULT on stage is the very same person who was gurgling and being a baby on "From Strength to Strenth," Peter's Epic debut. (Click on the link and listen to "Walk On, Pt. 1" to hear who/what I'm talking about.) I felt REALLY old.

The Reason Why Resolutions Should Not Be Kept

So much for Resolutions. As you may (or may not) remember, I made a New Years Resolution that I actually managed to keep.

Fast Forward to my dentist's office on Friday afternoon....he's looking at this incredibly sensitive tooth. Turns out that it's because I've been overbrushing the tooth/gum area with the Sonicare! I was actually told to only use the Sonicare once a day now and go back to the regular toothbrush for the other brush(es) during the day.

And the moral of this story clearly is: do not keep resolutions.
