Where has the time gone?
Been a month since I have posted an entry...will attempt to do so as Auburn is playing the Hogs from my neighboring state Arkansas.
I have not put any photos up since I moved, I will fix that tonight! Click "more"! 
This is my little pink house (duplex) here in "the Tupe". I am not going to post any interior pictures here. If you really want to know what it looks like inside, you have to come and visit.
Look closely, do you see her? That is what I see every morning when I leave. Best. Dog. Ever.
So, I had to go to Columbus for some training for work, I got to stay in Auburn. 
And visit with my buddy, Greg, and my other buddy, Greg.
And watch/hear Perpetual Groove! Good show, good time.
That was a Tuesday night, drove back to the Tupe, dropped off my dog and went to..
Oxford to see Perpetual Groove, and pretty girls.
Again, a great show, but my last one for the foreseeable future, due to the "real world".
Pgroove's lead singer, Brock Butler, and some goon.
Paul came over from Huntsville and spent a few days with me. We went to see Florida vs. Ole Miss
Saw this, BBQ Pork nachos! Not mine, but a masterpiece!
The legendary Grove
Construction on the car wash is almost complete, maybe open in 2.5-3 weeks. I am looking forward to that.
Life is good here in Tupelo, I have found a church to call home, and a great gym.
It seems to me, that I lead a life of solitude, and about 98% of the time I am good with that. That other 2% can be nagging though.
Special thanks to folks that check in on me! i love you more for that!
Got a scanner, took this picture in 1986.

Life...this week!
Work/training continues...it is good to be tired at the end of the day.
Early Mornings, not many late nights. Going to Chattanooga after work tomorrow as I am off Thursday. Why Chattanooga? Perpetual Groove, of course! I am sick!

And so it begins
Well, training has started in Huntsville,
and I have slept like a baby every night since! It is good to put in a hard day's work. Folks have been showing me the ropes and giving me pointers and advice on dealing with customers, what model cars need special attention, etc. The GM's reporting process is straight forward and I anticipate no problems with that.
I am so glad to be moving forward, life(work wise) has seemed stagnate, but that is no longer the case.
In other news, Katie-Belle came to town June 25th, and it was a pleasure to see her and let her see Perpetual Groove for the first time!
My buddy Hal was in town for Pgroove, we got to hang out a good bit, including a dinner @ Big Ed's Pizza. I am glad that joint is back, even though I am leaving town soon.
I went to Atlanta on 6/30 to see Disco Biscuits, Umphree's McGee, and Perpetual Groove. It was a full and complete day of fun and great music, especially Pgroove. Got to meet some fun people from Richmond, Amy and Chris.
Billy finally showed up around the 5th and it was good to see him as well.
Katie and her dad went Hang-gliding recently, I got to tag along and shoot pictures. It was a treat to be there(all day) with the Ibsen/Park clan. We had laughs, shared meals and played games.
Billy and Katie left on the 10th...I sure miss them, even though we have some sort of contact every day.
LHP has bought a delightful bungalow in the Mayfair Park area, I am thrilled for her. It is exciting to see all the changes coming in folks lives, including my own.
Going to go school some people on how to play Mexican Train, so Buenos Noches.

A good time was had by all, some folks from SPC "manned" up and came out. Yaay!!
I was a designated driver for some other folks, so it was a late night.
Been working on some Tupelo stuff, flurries of email between me and lawyers here, there, and the City of Tupelo. Breakfast in the A.M. with the members of MPS.
My plans for this weekend are almost complete for Amberland (A-land). A-land is PGroove's annual music and camping weekend. Just PG and their friends and a BUNCH of great music.
Camping Check List
My blog, my list, bite me.
TV:24 - I am glad Day 6 is over. two words: Lame O
Heros - Ending was not what I was expecting, not surprised, but a little disappointed. Next season should be good.
Lost finishes its third season tomorrow!
Movies I want to see this summer:
Shrek 3
Pirates 3
Die Hard 4
Fantastic 4 2
Transformers
Hmm, looking at that list of movies, I never grew up.

Trippin' -- Out West 2007 (updated)
This past winter I took a trip out west to Colorado and Arizona. This was at the end of a VERY stressful couple of weeks, which included but not limited to: the sickness and death of my uncle, many drives from Huntsville to Birmingham and getting a land contract settled in Tupelo, MS.
I was flying SWA from Birmingham, so I left Huntsville about 3:30 a.m. on February 17, switched plance in Kanas City, MO and on to Denver.
Saw Perpetual Groove twice in Denver.
Night 1, 2/17/07 Cervantes.
Brock, Albert and Adam
Note the 5 FOOT DIAMETER disco ball!!
Cervantes is quite the party palace in Denver!
The next day, after no sleep the previous day and just 4 the night before, my buddy Rick took me ice-fishing. We did not catch a thing...but we had a great view!
Night 2, 2/87/07 Cervantes.
L-R, Albert, Brock, Adam and Matt
Friends from across America.
Pgroove
On Monday, I went to the Denver Zoo a dear friend and her two boys.
Jaguar
Meerkat
Then, the band played Boulder's Fox Theatre:

Got back to Denver, late. Flew to Phoenix the next day, where my finest friend, Billy Park picked me up. I stayed with him and his most lovely bride Katie (Belle) at their home in Gold Canyon. 5 days in the desert, 5 star filled nights as well. Here, of course are some pictures:
Sunset
Clouds at sunset
The Best and Worst Dogs in the Southwest.
Favorite street sign the Greater Phoenix Area.
Victory over the Port-o-let!!
