Lucky Wayne

I know your thinking...Huh, I don't see Wayne in the picture anywhere. So what makes him so lucky? It's an inside joke with all of his friends, they call him the luckiest person they know. It's hard to deny after all he has me and I haven't killed him yet. That's pretty lucky! He also has two fantastic boys, friends and family that would do anything for him, a beautilful house, And a collection of cars that even Jay Leno would envy. Anyway, he's been on a roll lately winning concert tickets from KFOG our favorite station, earlier this year he won Bruce Springsteen tickets and a cd collection. Some lucky friend of Wayne's went to see him as we didn't want to go. He also just won Loudon Wainwright tickets for this January at the Great American Music Hall SF (we're going to that one) and of course the Alanis Morrestte tickets that My sister and I just enjoyed. So I guess I'm pretty lucky too. I did once win a Disneyland trip. But the Alanis story is pretty funny. See Wayne didn't win the meet and greet tickets, just regular seats. But when we came in the beautiful Oakland Paramount theater we saw the KFOG table set up and I went up to say HI and thank them for the tickets. She asked me If I was there for the meet and greet and I said....No:( but she looked at the list and one couple hadn't come yet. So after sometime, I think an hour, the Warner Bros. guys came out gave some really lame rules "don't do this" "don't say that" Then he started passing out the back stage passes and there you have it. So whether you call it luck or Persistence, I think we both have it. Keep dialing babe!

November

Yes, November.......it's been a relatively busy month despite my neglectful blogging. I'm having somewhat of a mental block or should I say mental breakdown this month. See we're scheduled to go on a cruise a week from today. And I'm hyper focused on it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get Noro virus (cruis ship virus) or sea sick or hate the food or feel trapped. I know! I'm completely NUTS! I'll probably have a great time. The best part of the trip is we're going to have a visit with our friends the Scarboroughs who moved to San Jose Del Cabo a couple of years ago. I can't wait to see them.
I'll post the picture we gave to them when they were moving. Did I mention how excited I am to see them? Maybe I can stay with them and catch the ship on the way back.

Kuk Sool Won Tournament

On Saturday we all went to Oakland for Evan's very first competition in Kuk Sool Won. Even Grandma Di and Bert came (see picture). There is alot I could say about the 12+ hours that we spent in a crowded collage gymnasium but I think I'll just keep it positive and mention that Evan did very good. Despite his having to wait 2 1/4 hours for his turn to compete, he got a silver medal in techniques, a signature from The Grand Master and got to see some of the best in his sport do a demonstration. And made a new friend as well. Truth be told, Evan held up better than I did!
