Greatest Show on Earth

yesterday, my birthday, went to the circus. the circus is usually in town in houston near my birthday (hey teach, how is that for grammar?).

summary: picked up an extra 6 yr old for the evening, it cost $8 to park at reliant, found a coupon-got $6 off per ticket, bought the cheapest seats ($17-6= 11), the pre-show was crowded and could not see much (mental note, get there earlier next year), did not sit in cheap seats, girls whined--wanted sno cones, girls kept whining, seats around me filling up, better change seats, girls still whining, OK! LET'S GO GET SNOW CONES!-they cost $10, now, let's enjoy the show, "mr eric, i dropt my spoon," amber fell asleep in my lap, show over, had to carry her out, she cried most of the way out and on the way home.

music evolution

I remember way back, in college, part time job, living at home--got that first credit card. After "breaking it in" (dinner with the girlfriend) ---I bought a nice stereo. Pioneer, big floor speakers, dual cassette, turntable, could only play one cd at a time (which was ok, I had a ton cassettes). It was loud--I thought I was hot shit! I could hardly turn it up while my mom was home and when she was not, paint was coming off the walls (not really).

Now, in my first house, the stereo was more important than the TV. I proudly displayed those huge speakers (one on each side of the living room--hid the speaker wire under the carpet. I joined BMG and started replacing the cassettes with cd's, added a cd changer (100, I think it was).

Next thing you know, married, bigger house and I have two 2oo disk cd changers, hidden Bose bookshelf speakers on the cherry wood armoire and 'speaker splitter' and have (hidden) speakers all over the house. My big, nice floor speakers--one broke, the other hooked up in the garage :(

NOW, I have all of my music on my lap top syc'd with my mp3 player--over 5000 songs--mostly from my cd's--very little digital file 'sharing' and no $ downloads. My speakers look like they came from another planet and they are unbelievably LOUD--when I turn them up, my ears hurt. I paid under $40 for them on eBay.

What next???
