Last December I flew my Grumman Tiger to Half Moon Bay. I flew low and fast: 200ft off the water and about 130 MPH. It was awesome. The way back was pretty much just straight home.
It was my longest trip since flying the plane home last year.

I currently working on some songs. I will post them soon.
I'm also learning Powerslave by Iron Maiden.
On May 30th I saw Iron Maiden at Irvine Meadows (I refuse to say Verison Wireless Amphitheater).
It was like it was back in the 80's. They only played the old songs.

I went to India again in February. Going back in a month.

I've not update anything in forever. My work on Vacantplanet has sort of died for the moment. I've been playing guitar for 20 years and decided that its time to get good at it. For the past 8 months I've been practicing for 2-3 hours a day. I recently bought these two new guitars. The top one is the f-amazing Ibanez S5470 Prestige. The other is a 7-String Ibanez RG.
I will post some of my music soon!
Alicia and I are in Paris for Christmas. Yesterday we bought an X-mas tree and ornaments near Notre Dame and hauled them on foot back to the hotel near the Arc D'Triumph. For Christmas Day we slept until 1pm. After eating and exchanging gifts we saw Woody Allen's Dixieland Jazz Band in an old fashion music hall.
On X-mas Eve we had the classic French waiter. He was a impatient prick. Even the French patrons at Cafe Pont Neuf took notice. Today we had two great waiters who were patient with my limited french.

Alicia and I are in London for a few days before heading to Paris for the Holidays. I got a head shave and beard trim at Truefitt and Hill. Established in 1805, Truefitt and Hill have had Winston Churchill and members of the Royal Family as clients.
While in India last year I took a bunch of photos of Sean Connery's suit from Gold Finger into a Taylor and said "make this."
Let someone know what it is they are serving for. Whether you agree with the war or not is irrelevant. Do what you can for the people who are away from home while we get upset because traffic was bad or McDonald's had slow service. I've spent a month at a time overseas for work and it got lonely and hard. That was only a month and no one shot at me.
