Lake Tahoe (Take 2)

Yep on the corner of Faris and Kahle, you'll find some immature yet funny vandals:


I'm pretty sure I know this family:


Not on any circumstances are you allowed...


...to hurl yourself down this steep road, Jackass!


Had a delicious breakfast over at Heidi's...


...and got to sit in Heidi's fancy booth, Appenzell, named after a region in Switzerland (okay, I had to Google it).

Lake Tahoe

Spent a terrific 2-night getaway in Lake Tahoe. Perfect weather.

We took Heavenly Valley's gondola:




Hiked down to Emerald Bay:

Amy Winehouse R.I.P.

Forget the tabloid stories. Ignore the vultures picking over her like the latest piece of meat.

Remember the tallent. Remember the art she created. That's what I'm going to miss. I was rooting for Amy. I have both her albums and the guest tracks she did for Mark Ronson, but it's not enough.


We had tickets to see her in San Francisco back in 2008. But then she wasn't granted a Visa and had to cancel the entire tour. She even performed via satelite that year on the Grammy's. I would have loved to have seen her live.

Amy was supposed to sing the last Bond theme. But as Mark Ronson said in an interview, "She's not ready". The song never happened.



Yep, we all saw her death coming. But if you're like me, you really didn't want it to happen. I'm gonna miss her.
