Big Head Todd & The Monsters
This my friends is Big Head Todd and the Monsters. An absolutely great band that I have only been recently introduced to. BHTM is the #1 Band according to Donna. And as luck would have it they were playing two gigs in Vermont during February. Donna got two sets of tickets for Xmas.
The crew above is the group that accompanied us to the Higher Ground show in South Burlington. Me, Donna, Don Whipple, Louise Whipple, Mike Perrin and Lisa Perrin.

Todd Mohr seen here led the Monsters for two straight hours non-stop mixing newer stuff with some well worn classics of theirs. All were really new to me only having heard the older stuff just recently. What a show the put on, just straight forward, rocking, soulful music, purely for the fans.

BHTM at the Pickle Barrel in Killington....one week later. An even better show than Burlington.

Donna and I arrived and had a lite fare dinner and then scored a great position at the balcony. The crowd was very into the Monsters, think everyone sang along with most songs. Donna had brought her camera and scored almost 500 images. She also increased her obsession for Mr Mohr....wink, wink.
Todd seduces the crowd with his fantastic voice range as well as his mastery of the lead guitar. His skills blew me away, in person he just wails, period!!!!!
Heres a funny note, while waiting for the show to start in Burlington, Donna leaned over and said "I think my cousin just went into the bathroom". We staked out the door and sure enough out she came. What a surprise. Not only her but a whole crew of her family was there.
Want to sample what we heard....www.bigheadtodd.com.....even better BHTM gives away their music, how cool is that.
Valentine's Day 2008
Valentine's Day this year was celebrated on a budget. Donna got me my favorite sweet treats I haven't had in more then a year a whole bunch of photos on magnets for my locker at work. Donna had been hinting all during our card games that she would like a new deck of Phase 10 cards. So like any man in a relationship, you try, key word here TRY to listen. I got a deck of new cards but also wrote a poem to go along with it.
The Game of Love........
by Brad Hale
Our love is like the cards we play, We play the hand we're dealt
deal and draw and discard, for a wild card to show itself
Everyday we cut the cards, finding where we stand
Are we high of low for the day, we check the card in hand
When in love we play to win, some just like the game
Hand after hand we raise the stakes, going for glory and fame
Its not a game of solitaire, but a give and take between two
We ante up the stakes get high, but whoever wins, I love you!

Miss Whitney McNeil's Birthday!!!
Sunday brought an adventure. Leaving Vermont in a near blinding snowstorm, we were New Hampshire bound. You see, the young lady pictured here is Ms. Whitney McNeil. A freshman at SNHU and who just happened to be turning 19 on February 10th.
La La Lola is patiently waiting for her piece of cake, even foregoing all the attention she was receiving from Whit's dorm mates. Lola also garnered many invitations for sleep overs with all of the ladies.
The birthday girl blows out her candle. We can only wonder what the wish was?!? But the best things about wishes is that you must keep them a secret to come true. We hope yours does Whit!!!!!!
Whitney and Lauren! Living the dream (in a closet)! Amazing what a little decoration will do for a walk in closet!
Lola's play date
So here I am on my first play date. Mommy and Daddy
had to be gone for the day and asked Auntie Beth if I
could over to her house and play with Remy and her
new sissy, Harper.
