There, I said it…three times.

I’ve also posted their logo. Oh Nooo!

The NCAA and Big Sky Conference will probably threaten to sanction me now. Ahhh, probably not…I said it before the August 15th imposed mascot-change deadline so I should be OK.

One for the other half

From a family lineage and heritage perspective, the in-law side of the family has a pretty way-cool claim on history…a history of Scotland that is.

The Clan McRae is a proud and noble bunch. Their Scottish history speaks for itself. However, one of the most recognized icons of Clan McRae is not that of its Clan folklore and honor, but that of a small castle on a big stage standing in the middle of some really deep water.

Eilean Donan is the place. And today’s Clan McRae, worldwide, are the stewards of a wonderful Scottish destination. Continue reading “One for the other half”

It’s Finally Friday

Tim May
This morning's "celebrate the senses day"....

Woo Hoo! It is Friday!

And a special Friday it is.

Because….don’t you know…it’s…

“Celebration of the Senses Day” where everyone should stop somewhere along today’s journey and watch (see), taste, feel, smell, and listen to somthing…somewhere.

No?

Don’t want to do that?

Then there are these “holidays” to account for today: Continue reading “It’s Finally Friday”

All I Can See

This guy I like…this Brendan James. Not sure he’s got danceable music, but I could listen to him for a long, long time in a smokey bar somewhere.

Now understand I’m a huge Billy Joel fan. In fact I know most of his song lyrics by heart and can belt them out for you anytime, and almost in tune (let my people know when you want the private concert to hear my non-talent if interested). Brendan James reminds me of a young Billy Joel (probably the singing-piano playing bit). Most music tunies might argue his James Taylor influences are much more apparent….hmmm. Don’t you just love comparisons?

Here is “All I Can Say(See)” about Brendan James: I have more of his songs checkmarked on my iPod than I do Billy Joel’s. Wow! Seriously?

So that’s it. Brendan’s voice, style, and talent speak for themselves – no jacket required to listen to him…no other artist comparisons are needed as well. Hope you enjoy him. Continue reading “All I Can See”
