Rediscovering Brian Perry

While I was in college in Louisiana, a friend of mine told me about a local singer - Brian Perry. She explained that he sang folk type songs and that he was playing at a local coffee house called the Neutral Ground. I went with her and fell in love with the music. Over the next couple of years, I purchased all of his CDs and they were constantly played in my car. For my graduation, I had to choreograph a dance, and I chose a Brian Perry song as my music. Brian is also a motivational speaker and mentor. As time went by, I loaned my CDs to someone and never got them back. I repurchased them, but Hurricane Katrina took them away again. I recently got an email from Brian saying that he was finally recording again. There were samples of the music that I fell in love with on his website, and I knew what I needed to do - I ordered 3 of his CDs again. I am rediscovering the music all over again. While my husband and I were still dating, I had taken him to see him perform, and he is glad to see that the joy that his music brought me is back again. I hope that by spreading this others will get the joy of discovering Brian Perry. He does so much more than being a singer/songwriter - he is also now a life coach. Please listen to his music and you will be hooked and want to buy his CDs. http://www.brianperry.com Enjoy!

Race for the Cure

What an awesome day the race was - grant it, it was June 7th, but I just haven't had a chance to write about it. Preston, Chris and I did it with StrollerFit and had a great time. It was my first 5K and it felt great - maybe I will run next time, or at lease jog LOL. Baby steps. It was not too sunny that day either - it was perfect!

Indiana Jones

I got a chance to go catch a movie this past Wednesday. I saw Indiana Jones. Now before I get into the movie, let me first say that I haven't been to the movies in a LONG time. I went to a matinee and the ticket was $7!!! Unreal. I think the last time that I went to the movies at night it was $6.50. It was $9 for a nighttime movie. The kids prices were $6, and that price began at age 1. I didn't have Preston with me, nor do I plan on taking him anytime soon, but I can't imagine why you would charge a 1 year old for a movie ticket.

The movie was ok. It didn't seem to have the same amount of action as what I would have expected. I also think that they set it up at the end to have a new Indiana Jones. The movie was set in 1957, so it is possible.
