Bon Jovi Rocked!


Finally, I got to see him. 18 years after my parents wouldn't let me go. It was worth it! That was, by far, the best concert I've ever been to. Better than Cher. Better than Billy Joel. Better than Heart. Of course, I didn't make it to work until 11:00 today. My head is going to split in two. Jennifer said that she was happy she could be there to see me live out my life-long dream.....I danced and sang and I'm sure I irritated the geriatrics sitting behind us. I think I'm going to go lie down in stateroom 5 and take a siesta. I need one........

Happy Anniversary!

Ten years ago today, I got licensed as a Funeral Director/Embalmer. Good grief, am I that old? All in all, it's been a good ten years. I estimate I've probably met with 1,000 families, worked 1,200 funerals and embalmed 1,500 bodies. Not bad for a decade of work. If it wasn't supposed to be stormy this afternoon, I'd probably treat myself with a ride after work. But, riding is NOT FUN in the rain, so I will wait. There is a ride this weekend ~ Ride for the Cure, I won't make it because I'll be burying the dead, but I may make the after party.... I'll keep my fingers crossed!

For Becky




Becky wrote that she'd like to see a picture of Oklahoma. Here you go. This is a photo we took last year on a ride to Mt. Scott. It's the closest thing we have to a mountain here in the plains, but it overlooks a lake and is really beautiful. Enjoy!

Finally!

Yesterday was Thunder Run IV. We decided we would check it out, even though neither one of us felt comfortable enough to ride with that many people. This is the biggest run in Oklahoma and it was amazing as we drove out Memorial Road to Thunder Cycles. I'm not sure how many bikes there were, but I would guess thousands. We pulled into the parking lot and parked way down at the end. Bikes were parked up and down the road and packed into a field behind the venue. We decided we would look at the vendors' items, then go on our own ride. So, we bought some Showtime cleaner and a tshirt then headed to Bricktown. It was such a nice day and we rode for about 5 or 6 hours off and on. Nothing like burning $3.21/gallon gas just for the hell of it. But, on the bike, it doesn't feel as heinous as if I were just driving around in my truck for no good reason. It finally feels like the cold weather is gone and riding days are here again. Like it's not a tease this time; oh how I hope I'm right!
