My Camera made it. I was worried for a bit because the tracer on it said something about going back to Chicago. I was ready to write that one off as another mystery blamed on the mail elves at my house.
And I hit a milestone in the past week or so..... I have officially been ticket-free for over 3 years now! So my record for insurance purposes is now clean for the first time in my life!! I know, it's a miracle but I made it and I intend to keep it that way. So yes, do the math and you can probably figure out how many speeding tickets, running through a stop light tickets (I still think it was yellow and we were late to go see Judge Dread - a pathetic movie.... Claire will remember this one I'm sure). So as you can see, this was very important to me to accomplish!
Switch to some Classical Music thoughts for the benefit of everyone out there:
* Mozart's Birthday (#250 if he were still alive) is on Friday. More to come on that later in the week.
* Handel lived at 23 Brook Street in London for some 30 years (he wrote the Messiah that you hear at Christmas and Easter) which is now turned into a Museum. Funny thing is that Jimi Hendrix lived there in the 60s as well (same exact address) and people are wanting to turn the house into a Jimi Hendrix museum even though he only lived there a couple of years. There's your useless knowledge for the day.
* We're playing Tschaikovsky's Fifth Symphony next weekend in La Crosse. It's probably one of my favorite Symphonies to listen to, and probably my favorite to play up till now. Very loud but extremely emotional in spots too. Let me know if you're interested in hearing it (either via mp3 or live next weekend!) This is what was played by the Austin Symphony years ago when I went to one of their concerts while I was living down there for 2 months. This was also the same piece that was played by the Tucson Symphony last year sometime when I took my Grandmother to a concert while I was there for work.
In Australian Open news, The Great Hingis Return is over after a 3 set loss to Clijsters. At least Sharapova is still in it;) Of course Federer is still winning like a machine for the guys bracket.
And finally, there are tons of requests of more pictures of the Beautiful Hazel. Now that I have a camera again, I'll continue to take more pictures. These are from my parents and the trip this past weekend to Iowa.
Song of the Day - I have Zeppelin's Kashmir going through my head today for some reason. Don't think I've heard it in a while but I'll have to break out some Zeppelin today on iTunes as I work. Good song!
Video of the Day - I saw this morning the sad news that Nice Guy Eddie died.... Chris Penn from Reservoir Dogs for those that aren't following yet. He had probably the filthiest mouth in that movie but was very funny. I remember the argument he has with Mr. Blonde "Did you see that Daddy? Guy got me on the ground and tried to **** me.... I don't mind what you do but don't try to **** me in my daddy's office". Guess you had to be there. I remember the first time Chad and I watched this in High School. First of many showings of this movie over the years!
Webpage of the Day - New Strong Bad Email is Rockin' Cool! But no Easter Eggs on the last screen this time! Still pretty funny!
Have a great Wednesday!!

Hazel is beautiful! She must be crazy though to be with you. Wait until she sees you Karaoke "Like a virgin", when are you bringing her to Nebraska?
Aw, you two wore matching blue shirts for the picture. That is just so precious.
For the record, I had my blue sweatshirt on first!
We're finding time to get to Nebraska. You'll like her more than you like me I'm sure! That's usually the case with her:)
Actually, everyone Adam DIDN'T have his blue shirt on first. I woke up an hour before he did and dressed before he got up at his parents. My sweater is really a dark purple with black specks.
Hazel
