The Solar Panels start getting installed tomorrow – OH YEA!
|
From my family to yours may 2010 be the year that turns it all around for everyone, stay safe and welcome to 2010! My resolutions for 2010: 1. To continue my trek to being GREEN, solar panels are just the start, I’m making a difference! Miguel The story behind this video is amazing, if you’ve not yet seen it, it was produced by an independent film maker in Uruguay for a scant 300 dollars (read that again – 300 dollars) he has since been offered 30 million to produce a full length feature! What a great story! Today is 5 years to the day of my migration to Phoenix, a 2300 mile trek from Orlando with 2 SUV’s, 3 cats, 1 infant and stops in New Orleans, San Antonio and Las Cruces. In all I don’t look back, I figure that people spend their entire lives hoping to retire to places like Florida and Phoenix, I lived in Florida for almost my entire life and aside from the hurricanes, humidity, bugs the size of kittens and the fact that barely anyone who lives there is actually from there, it’s a great place! But there was an attraction to Phoenix ever since my first visit here on business back in 1996, and I’m very happy to call this place home. Like I tell everyone, if you can handle 90 degree’s of HELL, the rest of the year is really amazing, with so much to do and even more just a few drive hours away. My footage made air on ABC15! This aired on tonight’s 6 O’Clock news and made a web-hit as well. I love this event, this year I even chipped in 30 bucks to buy a little girl a helmet and sneakers to go with her new bike that she got as part of the event! Cut video for Avondale ABC15 Phoenix Package Footage For several months I’ve been wondering whatever happened to an old friend that I had the opportunity to meet while working at Ace Music in Miami back in the early 90’s, tonight while doing a Google I was shocked to learn that he had died, just last month. Alan Ogg was a backup center for the Miami Heat and played on the team as a backup to Ronnie Seikaly. Alan became a good friend of myself and my manager Alan Pitter after coming into the store and purchasing some recording gear. He then very generously offered both Alan and I, who were huge basketball fans, his extra seats for the home games. The video below is from the 1992 NBA Playoffs game 3 in Miami, the Heat were already down 2 and were about to be eliminated. Alan again generously offered both of us his extra seats and we sat with the other players families to watch the game. After the game Alan’s wife Anita told us to stay in our seats and she would come get us, when she did Alan met us near the players tunnel and said come with me and line up in the hallway outside the players families green room. The reason he had us do this was because the Chicago Bulls had to walk down this hallway to leave the arena and coming down the hall you could see (and I still remember this vividly) MJ and Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant and of coarse Coach Phil Jackson as well as the rest of that seasons NBA Champion Chicago Bulls. Here is a highlight from that game, where my old friend # 53 takes a shot at MJ. |
