@ Brian ...very cool, thank you. I never saw that. I'm not trying to start any back and forths but I can't help but say I miss him not being in Priest. "Yes" Rob is a better singer but... i'll just leave it at that.

Foresight ...who would've thought.(lol)

I feel a little dumb for not thinking of the tags though and i'll probably start that today with the ones I do know.

Believe it or not I beat out a guy about a foot taller than I am. He even told me when the lights came on that he had that stick I got but that I was just a little stronger. Here's the funny part. I jumped up to grab it and came down on some woman's foot. I caught her out of the corner of my eye grabbing her foot and moaning. I apologized to her. She laughed it off. Had to share that because of your comment. The pick I got I saw him throw when the show first started. No one saw him throw it so no one went for it. When the show was ending I moved over to where I thought it might be. I looked down but couldn't really see anything and then I noticed small white lettering and bent down and touched it and it was that pick. I couldn't belive I found it.

I really liked the Dio Disciples show Sunday. Ripper isn't Dio of course but in a live setting with former Dio bandmates playing with him it's a pretty kickass show. My fourth time seeing them and I loved them everytime. I got a guitar pick from Bjorn Englen(bass) and a drumstick from Simon Wright. The bad thing about the drumstick is that I have 11 total but 6 of them including last night are the exact same stick and now I forget who they came from. Should have written on them as I got them. Here's "Killing The Dragon/Holy Diver".

Yes, all the manufacturing factories, 2 Nuclear Power Plants along the lake front has polluted the lake. I used to swim in it when I was a kid but I don't let my own children swim in it now. Lake Erie is shallow which makes it dangerous, winds can kick up and produce 4 to 6 foot swells in seconds. It's pretty scary being 6 miles out from shore where you can't see any land and have a storm come.

...big ass lake!

28 years total. (not religious)(lol). I can say with all sincerity that our relationship is as strong now as it ever was.

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary this weekend. Went to "Put In Bay"�(island) on Lake Erie. I never realized Ohio had such a gem. The lake is like being on the ocean and the island was awesome. Some refer to it as the "Keys" of the North. It definitely had the feel of a little sea town. Tons of Entertainment and plenty to see and do. Major mode of transportation was golf carts. It was a little freaky at first sharing the road with cars while driving a golfcart but once you got used to it it was fun as hell. Kind of weird though with about 75% of traffic being golf carts. I have more to tell and maybe some pics to post but I don't want this to be too long so I'll go through my pics (and thoughts)(lol) and share a little more. It was probably two of the most fun days I've had.

I've seen Ozzy numerous times. I'm really glad I saw Heaven and Hell in 2008 , Dio and Iommi were incredible !
