  ICE your cell phone
from WashingtonPost.com

To its owner, the cell phone is an indispensable lifeline at times of crisis, reuniting loved ones separated by unforeseen events at the touch of a button. But for members of the emergency services making life-and-death decisions, the cell poses a conundrum: Which of the numbers stored in its electronic address book should they call to reach a casualty's next of kin?

Now a simple initiative, conceived by a paramedic in Britain, has gained momentum on both sides of the Atlantic to try to solve this problem. Cell users are being urged to put the acronym ICE -- "in case of emergency" -- before the names of the people they want to designate as next of kin in their cell address book, creating entries such as "ICE -- Dad" or "ICE -- Alison."

  Is this love? Oh what a feeling!
Tonight I cashed in all my indie rock credit, turned in the ceremonial black leather cuff, and hung the chuck taylors up for retirement ... to rock out to ...

WHITESNAKE

and it was AWESOME!


tight pants, unbuttoned dress shirts, gods of 80s rock posturing, 7 full stack marshall amplifiers, wailing screams from front man Davie Coverdale, mind melting minute guitar solos, and a manic 15 minute drum solo that would make Animal the muppet weep ... it was all that you could imagine and dream of!

the sound was so loud that I still haven't regained my hearing almost an hour later.

2 best things about tonight ...

1. Didn't pay to get in
2. Found some old dudes wallet, found old dude, returned wallet ... FREE BEER!

  blogger what?
I think everyone hates blogging. Some few updates these days. I know I've been slacking, maybe more than anyone (except Chris Boylan). Even Uncle Grambo seems to have fallen off the Earth.

Not too much to report. Been busy with the job over the last couple weeks. I had to step it up, take on more responsibilities while we search for a replacement for the recently departed Mary.

Hopefully something exciting or, at the very least, interesting will happen soon, so I have something to share. Maybe I should get out more?
