Catching Up

Yeah FB was a little more addicting that I thought. Bu the novelty is definitely wearing off.

One of the major new items is that the band I'm involved with, ALIVE, is now out playing. we had a few shows aready and play to play every month or 6 weeks or so.

Here we are -

The next item is that we attended the IPMS Nationals again this year. This time is was back in Phoenix, AZ. Once again we took a full week. This gave us time to visit relatives nearby, attend a D-Backs baseball game (they won), and have a 2 days side trip to Flagstaff, and Sedona. Pete never saw the Grand Canyon, so we figured we would remedy that.

Oh yeah, the Scale Model Convention was excellent. I didn't enter anything as I'm afraid of that the airline baggage handlers will do to a model, and I have to many things already in my carry on) For pics of the Con visit here -

John Costelloe, RIP

I just heard that a friend from a few years back passed away. I worked with John Costelloe at my firehouse in Bklyn. for a few years before he retired to persue acting full time. He did a number of movies and TV, but the one where you'll definitely know him from the Soprano's. The sad part was due to the nature of the death, things were kept quiet and many of us didn't even know until the day he was buried.

RIP, John!
