08.15.09-08.16.09

A Great Weekend
Actually started Friday - Our two Cadettes met with our two leaders - (yup their moms are the leaders!) They actually accomplished quit a bit - they were looking at the IPs and the new Journey and thinking SILVER - I like that - I asked them to take charge in September - They are Ready! DISCOVER CONNECT TAKE ACTION

Then - Saturday - work for 4 hours - came home - Played on FaceBook - went to my 30 yr HS Reunion - Recognized some people - others - nope - not without the name tags - spent most of the time with a friend from 5th grade on - had to leave "early" - but later than I had told my family I was going to - to get sleep for SUNDAY!

The Ocean Institute in Dana Point http://www.ocean-institute.org/programs/index.html - We went on the 88.5FM KSBR Morning Breeze Cruise - with guest Artist SCOTT AUGUST http://www.cedarmesa.com/ !! He called a Blue Whale with an awesome "Grandfather Cedar Flute" - totally awesome - totally -

The dolphins too, enjoyed the cruise - they play with the Sea Explorer and were leaping out of the water! I even captured one on "film" - fully out of the water.

It was a GREAT Weekend!

Morning Breeze - KSBR

It is 7am Sunday 08.09.09 - Theme from Princess Bride is playing on KSBR - I love this piece - The movie is a favorite too - so many funny bits - "He's only mostly dead" and the fencing and the ROUS's - all of it - The piece kinda winds up with a few notes - by Alex DeGrassi http://www.degrassi.com/

NEXT weekend - Sara and I will be on our way to the Ocean Institute - for a Morning Breeze Cruise with SCOTT AUGUST!!!

weekend...

Foxhound is sleeping - Cepheus7 - he's been up "made dinner" Carnitas in the Crock Pot and he's back to bed - Romeo - he's curled up in the chair next to me - his favorite spot -
Me - bloggin' listening to KSBR - me time - only time I get any.

I want us to go an find some of the Country Caches for the ARW80 series tomorrow - but I want all three of us to go - together - some cachers have already completed the challenge!! They started last Sunday - we saw them at "England" - the cached 72 hours straight!! found all the Countries and the Continents AND "The World"! Some fellow cachers - must be jealous - 'cause they are questioning if these guys had visited ALL the caches themselves... these two say in their logs that others joined them for some caches - I was uncertain about the final "World" if some just tagged along or what - but, if you have 72 hours and you devote it all to finding the caches and solving the puzzles - then - great!! And if you don't have the time - great too - and just because a cacher doesn't log on line - doesn't mean they haven't physically BEEN to the cache - maybe they didn't have access IN THE FIELD to go online for each cache - WE don't - WE must wait till we get home to the computer! So just bcuz a cache- (the Continent Puzzles and THE WORLD Puzzle) isn't logged on line - or any of the COUNTRIES for that matter - doesn't mean these two cachers had not been there...
Sour grapes - yummy yummy!

Off the "s box"

I really like this time of day - KSBR - me an' my dog - sleeping in the chair next to me....

Girl Scout Cookie Sales Over

Well our little troop sold 213 boxes - 105 were "extra boxes" - if we'd done a booth - or two we probably could have done even more...

next is International Day - and we are representing (South) Korea. Our meeting is tomorrow and I have exciting news for the girls - I think...

Then - in May -we are to do a two troop camp out - That will be fun -

Tired - and need to do laundry and find something for dinner - everyone else in the house is busy playing "computer games" of one sort or another...

Scott August and similar streaming on Pandora.

...and I laughed

The more I listen the more I like - this is my favorite part:

"...Do you want to, come on, scootch over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed..."

Foxhound asked what "nibble your ear" means (smile)

The Geek in the Pink

Ok - Official Announcement - I like Jason Mraz too

- SO cool when parents like the same music as there kids - the link - says live in Berlin - would love to see any artist is such a small venue - so much fun to be that close - we have seen C G Ryche at Downtown Disney before and Scott August and a few others up close - and I love it - I think the artists do too -

There are several other "tubes" at the same venue - this place is tiny - and sounds like lots of the people know his songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VSmhcOeUGQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJxsjq2C4EE Freestyle Jam in Berlin - THIS is fun!

... had to stop and watch the Free Style -

I love Jason's hat.

More Jason

I like the lyrics...

I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

This is Foxhound's favorite song right now - I like the drums - nice rhythm too - kinda reggae - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYhrYHmUPn0

I guess Radio Disney plays it "alot". and there is a "bad" word in there too - she wonders how it gets played on "Disney"

and there is this - his official site: http://www.jasonmraz.com/#/bio/

trying to type this and read his bio and Fox keeps finding something else on youtube telling me to "look" - We Sing We Dance We Steal Things -

OK - he's cool - Foxhound says "He's SOOO Random"

Might have to get the CD

"Home - Page" - reminds me of when Foxhound and Angel were at O'Neill Regional Park and every other word was - "FOOD"

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme - Hung Up

A co-worker has been playing Madonna's "Hung Up" all week. Every time I hear the "flute" rift... I feel as is I have heard it B4 - LONG ago - So, I googled something like < "south america" "hung up" madona > - and found that, (even tho I believe the melody comes from even longer ago than ABBA - perhaps a South American "traditional song") Madonna received permission to use ABBA's "flute" theme from Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)

- to me - the melody sounds very much like it could be played on a Zampona - and I think of Sajama - a group who, I won't miss the chance to see - if I know that they are in the area and I have the free time...

listen (watch) for your self!

ABBA - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLtU7aOnp2U - Gimme Gimme Gimme

Madonna - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fVqC8rOw8g - Hung Up

Foxhound tells me that ABBA's isn't a flute - (no they play keyboard - but a "flute" sound) and really - Madonna has someone in HER band who plays an actual - flute???

Anyway - my mystery has been solved - I KNEW I had hear the tune before.
