the year in review 2012

2012 what a year! I am now a woman of the 21st century.I have a digital camera.Now that I have one why did I hold out so long on getting one? I am also of member youtube.I joined this little group called the vinyl community.OK we are growing.Although i only collect CDs they accepted me and many others like me because its all about the music, man! I've even learned to make slide showed and post them on Youtube. OK so does this make me a geek? 2012 started out to be a nice year but its not ending that way Hurricane Sandy hit us with a serious punch.the flooding destroyed both my car and Nancys van.Luckily she was able to get new wheels a few weeks later after renting one. Atomic CDs is closing shop.Eric says he has been thinking about it for awhile.I bought a few CDs today and stayed under my self imposed $20.00 limit!I celebrated my self control with a coffee and blueberry muffin at the Green Planet Coffee House being Rock N Joe's is also a victim of hurricane Sandy. The business district of Point Pleasant Beach escaped pretty much unharmed from what I've Heard. Another sad note.My uncle Jimm died in Mid October!I will miss you Uncle Jim!OK now to upload a few photos! Lets all hope and pray 2013 is much better!

warm days,chilly nights

Today was a typical busy Monday at work.I got it all though.When I came home I went about my usually duty of letting Bayou out.The warm sun was so nice that it was so tempting to just sit back and relax and bag my game plan for the afternoon.the better judgement won over.
arrr, making good choices!
After letting Bayou back in and giving her a biscuit, I check my email ,got changed and headed out.
I went to mail out a few mixes.Wow it feels good doing that again!Then I went to make copies of the cool Grooves newsletter I send out to members of the mix exchange and a few other folks expressing interest in getting a copy.I made 30.I gave one to Ocean County music,One to Atomic CDs and one to The Longboard Grill.
Upon arriving home there was a truck in the driveway.it had some sort of trailer on it.Theres was Matt,Dans Dad and Tom his best friend unloading firewood from the trailer to the rack.
It brought back memories of a of years ago coming home from a crazy day at work and seeing a pile of firewood the the middle of the driveway on a 20 degree day in Febuary and there was snow on the ground.I remember it also being the day I got my first mix from IMP!
This year I won't be coming home to a giant pile of wood in my driveway.Now I need to make sure I dont back into it on a snowy ice day in febuary!
