Happy Pete and Scotty

Just want to shout out and congratulate ex-Giants' Pedro Feliz and Scott Eyre for being part of the team that won this year's world series! While Hamels was MVP and Lidge the lasting video highlight of the game, it should be pointed out that the winning RBI was Pedro's. I'm sure Scott is glad to have been able to recover from his banishment from the Cubs. Certainly these two feel they're in a much sweeter place right now. 'Happy for ya guys!

Jonatha at Shorecrest Performing Arts Center

The venue was an auditorium in Shoreline WA and was a very warm and intimate gathering. Jonatha's smart comments, funny antics, and acoustic perforance was the perfect mix and I had a great seat on the fourth row! :)

One song I didn't expect to hear was one that I hadn't heard in a long time and it was The Choice from her Ten Cent Wings album. It's great songwriting. A song of regret and being in that middle ground between looking back and turning away.


The Choice

i don't know what you expected
i don't know what else you've heard
but i guess you think you got what's coming to you
and i got what i deserve

i won't tell you a thing, you won't see me cry
i'll know what to do, i will not lie
i'll take the chance, i may be fine
but i may never be the same

i didn't ask for your precious pity
i didn't ask for your pain
and i didn't ask for your opinion
in the name, of your saints

i won't tell you a thing, you won't see me cry
i'll know what to do, i will not lie
either way i lose, either way we die

either way i'm alone when its time to decide

i don't know what you expected
i don't know what else you've heard
maybe i'll take what's coming to me
cuz it might be what i deserve

i won't tell you a thing, you won't see me cry
i'll know what to do, i will not lie
i maybe crazy, i may be blind
but i might love you more than my life

my choice, my chance, roulette, romance
i couldn't say no, now i still can't
god curse this moment god bless this chance
i will never be the same
