Glenn Frey Said It Best

The Heat Is On: Today is the first official day that the job for Assistant General Manager has been posted. It has to be legally posted for at least seven days, and I'll be having my interview sometime in the next...uh...seven days. Wish me luck. :)

Make Sure You Vote On The Weekly Poll: This weeks topic, Sarah Palin. Visit the main blog for the poll.

Football Predictions: A few weeks ago, I made a friendly bet with our friend Lori that the Browns were going to finish with a better record than the Steelers. Lets hope so, for my sake.

Haircuts and Hand Grenades: I've got this friend, Cheryl. Now Cheryl and I met about four or five years ago at Sears in the hair studio. She was working at the studio and I went to her to get my hair cut for a long time. Long story short, we dated for a few months a couple years back but we knew we were way better off as just friends.

Over the winter, Cheryl got tossed from her job at Best Cuts over by Tops Supermarket, and then her mom died. So it was a rough season for her, to say the least. Found herself a job working at Spencers in the mall and got promoted semi-quickly. This entire time she's cut my hair every three to four weeks or so.

Lately, she's been either really busy or very forgetful -- I can't figure it out, but she doesn't contact me at all inbetween cuts. I feel bad, like I shouldn't be using her for just haircuts.

Any opinions?

Album Progress: Uh, none. Not a bit. But I did get a phone call from my old friend Vicki the other day. She's putting together a slideshow for her daughters first birthday and wants a slow, fingerpicking instrumental for the slideshow music. I suggested one, and I'm sort of working on something to write for her. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm guessing something "Dust In The Wind"-ish without any vocals is the main idea for this.

Hi Tony...just read your thing...you should do "forever young" for the kids birthday...any how, "dust in the wind" is good too...

Well, the thing that I didn't want to put down in the email, in case she read it, was that her daughter actually died only a few weeks after she was born. She had a very, very rare birth defect and Vicki is still really having a very hard time with it a year later.

The song I sent her was an Eric Clapton tune, but I think for old times sake she wanted me to write something for her. She knows I'm always good for sad-sounding stuff, I guess.

That is so sad. Of all the things I have had to deal with, I don't think I would survive that. I guess that forever young wouldnt work for that situation.
