[Getting rain this afternoon and it has really cooled down - low 70's. Terry - congrats to Sara! Jeri - hope the hurricanes miss you this year. Bill is looking like a big one, but they aren't sure if he's going to hit land. Hope not!The pictures from the Scandinavian concerts are amazing. Fun to see the perspective from the stage - that has to be an awesome feeling for the performer.]

[We are seeing hot & humid here today too. August has definitely arrived. I went shopping at the mall today - something I haven't done in a long while. It was nice & I bought a few clothes for the fall. Tiger is leading by two strokes now!!After getting swept by the Phillies, the Cubbies are taking it out on the Pirates. They are winning 17-2 in the 7th inning today. It's cool watching the game, because the Air & Water Show is this weekend in Chicago and the jets keeping flying over the ball park. It will be like that all weekend long. Sometimes the batter just has to stop & wait for them to fly over - it's very loud!Terry, enjoy your weekend celebrations!]

[Anything Alan wants to sing is wonderful with me. Would love a bluegrass album - he's always talked about doing one. LROAR was supposed to be a bluegrass album.]
