All That Jazz

Working the midnight shift can have its drawbacks when it comes to going out for the evening. However, I did have last night off and decided to check out a place that received great reviews in the entertainment section of the paper. Located in Grosse Pointe Farms MI it's called The Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe (http://www.dirtydogjazz.com). The performing artists were the Stanley Jordan Trio and they were outstanding. The Menu selections varied from Kobe beef to seafood and foul. The intimate rustic setting added to the ambiance of it being a jazz cafe. I signed up for their email updates for future performers. This place deserves two thumbs up !

Big Daddy's B-day

The house was full, present were children, grandchildren, family and friends. "Mr. C" as he is affectionately known celebrated his seventieth birthday. There was plenty of food, fun, and laughter to go around. Thank God for a long life well lived !

Superbowl Sunday

I kept my yearly tradition of spending Superbowl Sunday with my brother Mike, sis-in-law Anita.

I'm not a big football fan, but I enjoy this yearly event. My friend and brother actually watch the

game. I enjoy talking and having coffee with Anita. This year it's Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Arizona Cardinals, personally I always root for the underdog.

Arizona, the underdog appeared to have won until the final two minutes of the game, when Pittsburgh made an amazing comeback touchdown ! Oh well, better luck for the underdog next year.
