    Congrats to the Womens Olympic Hockey Team.

    No longer the bridesmaids, they brought the Canadians to tears this time.

    An absolutely exciting game by both sides and the Yanks win in a shoot out (unlike the reverse that happened last Olympics).
    I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.

      Deb, Max is 17. He's like a musical sponge. He just soaks up everything around him. Since I was a metal fan back in the day, he's had easy access to my collection. I'd say his musical awakening was when he listened to "Operation Mindcrime" by Queensryche when he was about 13. Since he liked that so much, I intro'd him to Tool and Dream Theater (other progressive rock bands) and he just exploded from there with his own discoveries of both classic and modern metal.

      What's super cool is that now he's introducing me to great music. He found Pantera himself; I had never really paid attention to them before. And there are some crazy good modern metal bands like Protest the Hero, August Burns Red, Tesseract, etc that I would never have discovered myself.
      Nice Work Max!

          I agree on the temps. Best memory of winter: Four years ago, Christmas Eve wearing shorts 79 degrees in Key West while attending Technodudes wedding.

          ....and I had to edit this.

          Stee, you are my version of a mans, man. I am proud to have met you on this forum and call you a true friend.

            And winter sucks the worst returning to it from 78 degrees.

              I will admit though being down in North Carolina February 2011 in 78 degrees while a blizzard was tearing up Detroit was pretty nice.

                  Yeah, he really likes Cake. He does dabble in other styles outside of hard rock/metal. I honestly try hard to not influence his music - I want it to be his discoveries rather than Dad's music. I give him few suggestions here and there ...

                  But, really, here's my request!! lol

                  Well, Max is completely slammed with new songs to learn from these new lessons. He is in the "Classic Metal" show and those guitar parts are *not* easy. So he's being really challenged (which was the point of signing him up for this).

                  But Max and I jammed on some Audioslave which is 3/4 of RATM. Does that count?

                    I stopped by my favorite coffee shop (I don't like coffee, but that's another story) and noticed a new guy. I try to remember the barista's names so I asked him and he said, "Caleb". I'm terrible with names so I wondered how I was going to remember Caleb.

                    Then it hit me, Deb's basement dweller.

                        Ok, well its Audioslave not RATM. And its Max playing drums not guitar. And me playing guitar, not Max. But other than that, its exactly what you asked for

                                I have a SIL that rents out a property in Milan on AirB&B. (?)

                                I can put in a good word if you're interested.
