DiSalvatores Rule!

Brittany and I have been out of nowhere interested in the show The Great American Road Trip. We are probably the only people that watch that show but it is totally worth it to see Papa DiSalvatore in action.

Anyway, not much has been going on. We recently went to the Dallas zoo and have a bunch of pictures from it. Here they are!























Also, Mad Men, the best show by far on television right now, has started season three. We went to see the premier at our local independent theater. I can't wait until next week! I suggest it to everyone reading this, but start from the beginning of season one. It's worth it. I just have to get the theme song as my ring tone.

Lastly, I have a few pics of young Chief. 35 pounds and growing, he recently has discovered a dog park. We will get some pictures of that maybe this weekend. Here are his latest:







That's all folks! Hope you all enjoyed your summer vacations. Ours is coming up soon!!

A Museum Piece

Yesterday Brittany and I got to see Bob Dylan for our first time at Grand Prairie's Quik Trip Park, which is a local minor league baseball team's home. It was a great time, even though it lasted for 6 hours and started at 530, the heat settled down after a while and we were able to enjoy. Willie Nelson started the show, feeling a bit extra welcomed in his home state. He rewarded us with a great backdrop and a much better than expected performance.



We didn't capture any waves of his, but they were the funniest part of the evening. Instead, we got a shot of him pointing at some people in the crowd. Oh Willie.



Then it was the forgettable John Mellencamp. My opinion of him was a Bruce Springsteen wannabe but with really dumb hair, a little too much botox, and some questionable singing stances. Anyway, I didn't go to see him so it didn't matter to me. The real deal was up next.

Bob showed up next. When he walked out, all I could think about was that it was actually him. He never said a word to the audience, never made a facial expression, but still he kept your attention the entire time. He's easily the most intimidating musician ever and I couldn't imagine how anyone could feel comfortable having a conversation with him. You let him do his thing, and we listen.

His intro was similar to a boxing promoter. He opened with Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat. Below is a video.



Here is another picture. It was too difficult to get anything better than this, so tough luck.

Good ole Bob.
