Testosterone
So I'm going crazy trying to finish sewing an order for a customer who's waiting and in a big hurry as he's expected to appear at the rain forrest cafe in the tarzan outfit I'm sweating over when the intercom blares my name:

Professionals (more like the blind leading the blind)
I've been around long enough to have interacted with many edumacated psych type 'professionals' as friends and customers .

He sings in many languages including Greek, Armenian and Sanish to name a few.
He has appeared with Paco Delucia, Al Dimeola, Sting and many others.
I've seen him live, front row center at the Hummingbird Center here in Toronto.
Below is a song that is one of my earworms.

3 parties in one night!
After a sleepless Friday night (the dog kept scratching at me, looking for attention) and a full day of work, I headed to my brother's for my newest nephew's first birthday party. Dinner, cake and coffee was had before I bid farewell to my clan and headed home ( Read more... )
