04/20/06: Well. first the bad news. Stephie thought she was getting her braces off today, but apparently the orthodontist saw his shadow, because Stephie has six more weeks of braces.
The good news today, though, is actually great news. Tickets went on sale today (actually, Internet pre-sales) for
Zappa Plays Zappa at the Auditorium Theater on June 17, and thanks to the dubious ticketmaster.com, I scored tickets! This is the long-promised tour of Dweezil Zappa (and possibly Ahmet) playing his dad's music! According to the site: "This is the first official live concert event of Frank Zappa's Music since his untimely passing in 1993. Joining Dweezil on stage will be a hand-picked band of new, young musicians as well as some legendary Zappa alumni including
Steve Vai,
Terry Bozzio, and
Napoleon Murphy Brock."
Stephie never saw Frank live, as I have many times, so we're really looking forward to it! I was hoping to take her to see
ProjectObject, a high-quality, nationally-touring tribute band that frequently has guest artists who had played with Zappa, but I think this might be the closest to the real thing as we're going to see since the artist left us. Get your tickets today!
04/08/06: Wow, how time flies. I've been busy with other projects, and my work schedule keeps changing, and somehow I've let almost a whole month slip without posting anything here.
The TV-guide thing is coming along, and I'll probably write about that more when I'm done. I've installed
Website Baker on our server, and I'm trying to set it up as an intranet portal. I used it to set up
Kisu's trainer's site, and it's real easy to work with, whether you want something to work "out of the box" or you want to customize it to your personal needs. I'm trying to write a module to allow us access to our book database, as part of the big "home inventory" project.
As I mentioned, I set up the
WetnoseOBT site for Kisu's trainer, Dave, and I've been doing a bit of maintenance to the site. If you get a chance, check it out and
let me know what you think.
Stephie has two new art pieces completed. Go check them out on
her art page. She's been very busy with her art-related volunteer work, and planning for her one-woman show, coming up in June at the
LaGrange Art League. More about that as the date gets closer.
And Kisu's been pretty busy, too, just being a dog! Walks have been getting longer with the improving weather, and she's been having a great time at her weekly obedience class. We have pictures from class on
her pictures page.
Finally, I know I never completed posting the pictures from out California trip. I promise to get that done as soon as possible!
