10 Years - Nick Armstrong
Today marks the 10th anniversary of my friend Nick's death. He was killed in a senseless act of violence on a college campus in 1999. Nick Armstrong was one of those guys that you just loved to be around. He was genuinely a nice guy. He was smart and funny and a hell of alot of fun. I remember one time Nick invited a bunch of us over for a bar-b-que at his parents house. We all showed up and after hours of slaving over the grill, he puts all of this meat on the table and then he goes, "oh no. I forgot to make the corn." There was nothing but meat. There was sausage and brisket and ribs and burgers... NOTHING but meat. It was awesome. I have so many wonderful memories of Nick, and for that I am grateful. Every year at this time I think about him and what he would be like now. Maybe he would be married. Maybe he would have children. He would have been a great dad. I personally am a better person for having known him, even if it was for much too short of a time.

Cheech and Chong
Last night, thanks to Karen's friend Jocelyn who had an extra ticket, I went to see Cheech and Chong live. DUDE!! It was awesome. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I was laughing the entire time. I will admit, I was a little afraid I might lose my sobriety just by being in the building, but all is well. Anyway, if you get a chance to go see them... GO! A thousand thanks to Jocelyn. I am forever indebted.

Art
I feel inclined to include a few of my favorites on here. The first two are by Wassily Kandinsky. I am not really a huge fan of abstract art, but I have always liked his work. The last one is by Rene Magritte. I happened upon an exhibit of his work one time at The Menil Collection in Houston. He's a surrealist and some of his work is surreal, to say the least. I saw this one at the exhibit, and I loved it immediately.
