Guitar options??
I need some opinions people. Which kind of background should I use behind the Metallica guitar cabinet that is being made? There are three options. Either the two pictures I have here or just a solid one color with nothing on it. Let me know which way you think the guitar should be displayed.

The Office
I have had some people question how great the Office is. One thing I know is that you cannot judge this show by only one episode( or your second episode after a year away).
Last night's episode was not the greatest episodes ever, but it was still good. The only thing that was bad was that they did not have a lot of work stuff going on. One of the best episodes was when Dwight took on the online ordering option through the company's website and Jim and Pam mess with him by instant messaging him and acting like they are the computer website. Too funny.

Interesting tidbit of information
Eric Clapton has a house in the Columbus, OH area.
His autobiography was nothing spectacular or ground breaking. It took me a while just to read the last 50 pages because it was nothing really interesting. He talks about getting older, more and more tired, more chances of getting sick and the inability to be able to tour for a long period of time. But, I think I could have figured that out. The guys is 64 years old. Even dad doesn't tour all the oil refineries anymore. However, I don't think people would pay him millions of dollars to work for 2 hours a night for a few months either.
If so, I think dad would change his mind quickly.

I stand corrected
Karen has brought it to my attention that I have traveled farther than to Kentucky to see a concert.
Last year, I went to see Karen, John and James while Alice in Chains were in town. Karen was nice enough to go see the show with me and then stand in the rain for 2 hours while the band drove past us while I was trying to get my Alice poster signed. We did get to see a firework show put on by the band which lasted 2.5 minutes (Chesterton style).
Also, it is safe for anyone to come by and visit. There is little work that needs to be done with the house. There is only one room to be painted and I can handle that. The only other work is going to be yard work and possibly the removal of a playhouse. Not sure what is going to happen to that. Also debating if I should extend the porch on the back, but that could be saved for some other summer. I know Neil knows how to hold a screwdriver, so he could always help.
I met one of my neighbors today. I have seen him a couple of times, but either the weather was bad or I was on my way somewhere and did not have time to stop. He told me that his wife is looking to buy a new house but she has not told him when they are moving. Also, the family across the street both work in Chicago and are considering moving closer to Chicago. So, I guess I am destroying the neighborhood.
Sorry for the card, Karen. After I sent it, I thought I should have chosen something else. Especially since it was South Park related.

Not really news....
Just a update on what is going on.
I haven't done much to the house since the last post. I need to get fertilizer for the lawn soon since it getting somewhat nicer and less chance of more snow. But, it is northwest Indiana.
I bought a new poker table which should get a lot of use out of others since I do not last long in tournaments lately. The backroom is still empty, but need to pick up the couch and chair I agreed to buy, but have not had a chance to pick up.
I now having a desire to buy a Wii so I can play baseball on it. The new MLB2K8 looks real good. I just need to watch from hurting my arm again.
Dave and I will be heading to Connecticut while visiting family in New York so we can see Pearl Jam play a concert. This will be the longest I have traveled to see a show. The longest before was Lexington, KY so I could see Metallica play from the front row on the side of the stage. I got the bootleg and was able to see myself headbanging along James Hetfield during Sad But True. They were awesome that night and it was cool to see them play so effortlessly. It is funny to see them smiling while they are playing heavy metal music with such dark stories.
On another concert note, Clapton is coming to Indy along with one of my favorite opening bands ever, Robert Randolph and the Family Band. If you get a chance to see them, do it. Robert Randolph is a great steel slide guitar player. And they sound even better in concert- lots of energy. Check out this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5CALmf7ziQ
I was asked to do a reading at a wedding for a friend who used to work for me during my Jewel days. That went fine, however, while standing at the podium, I felt a little taller than usual. I felt like my feet were even with the shoulders of the bride's maids. The wedding was nice with lots of good food to choose from an a open bar. It was funny to see the younger adults and how much they drink. It was like "Dave fall down, get on stage with a cover band, walk a bike trail in the middle of the night" drunk.
Other than that, not much new. I will be sending an email out with my new address since I have forgot to send that out before. Have a good one all.
