Almost Too Busy to Breathe!!!

Wow - the past few months have been a blur!!!

I finished teaching the Insurance Institute class, my students passed and did very well and I got good reviews on my evaluation sheets.

The band that started as the New Years Eve Gala band has come into it's own and we are now called The Late Boomers - see our website at: http://www4.webng.com/lateboomers/ . We are having a Coffee House Fundraiser for the Bridge on 20th Street on July 6th, 2007, all the details are on the website, so if you're in Saskatoon reading this prior to July 6th, 2007 - come on down and hear us play! We do an eclectic mix of cover tunes from the 60's to the 90's and even throw in an original now and then (we also play my song Good Life for which this blog was named!).

I am decorating cakes like crazy- sometimes 4 or 5 in a week, it's a great deal of fun and I am enjoying it immensely. If I ever won the lottery and didn't have to work full time, I think I'd just build a commercial kitchen in my house and make cakes all day! But, alas, I do have to work full time at a very busy, demanding career which is also very stimulating and mostly enjoyable (if at times very stressful).

My other band, Tin Pan Alley, is starting to go strong again after a 2 year hiatus - we now have a drummer/percussionist and are very close to getting a bass player. We are going to set up some gigs over the summer and I will post them here. I also got an awesome saxophone - I bought a vintage silver plated 1923 Buescher Alto Saxophone and completely restored it - it looks beautiful and it has a tone and sound quality that beats out any modern saxophone (in my humble opinion as well as many other sax players).

It's now 93 sleeps to the next cruise - this time we're cruising the Panama Canal from LA to Miami for 15 days, so I'm looking forward to that.

So that's the new stuff, busy as always and loving it all!
