Last night, I spent a bit of time reviewing the different performers scheduled to be in the Emerging Artists Showcase at Falcon Ridge this year. Each one of them has a MySpace Music page up where you can listen to their music and find out other information about them. With that, let me list the artists, with links to their MySpace pages, and a few different comments about each one.

Personal reflections, comments about things I've been doing, etc.

Rate on NewsTrustOrient Lodge designated historic
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Tue, 07/22/2008 - 14:01While we were on vacation, we got a couple phone calls from friends that let us know that Orient Lodge, our old house that we lost in foreclosure, not this blog, was on the front page of a Stamford newspaper.
The article was in the Stamford Times and talked about, “the board of representatives voted unanimously in favor of designating the home a local historic property”.
It talks a little bit about the person who bought the house. An old friend from Stamford commented here that there is some sort of connection to the school my kids went to and the church we went to.
It is great to read about the new owner falling in love with the place and about his plans for renovating it. It may seem a bit strange, but when things started moving towards foreclosure, I was more concerned about what would happen to the house than what would happen to me. I know that I will get by. The right opportunities will come along soon enough.
Yet the house, it needed someone special to love it, someone who would save it from being torn down and replaced with a McMansion. Now, it is protected as a local historic property and has a person who will help restore it in a way that I never could.
Back Home

Back home after a weeklong vacation on Cape Cod. There are around 5,000 messages in my inbox and many comments and connections to follow up with on many different sites. It was a great vacation, but if I don’t respond for a few days, I hope you will understand why.
I have taken many of the Cape Cod posts off of the front page. You can find them in the personal section of the site. Once I get a little more caught up, I hope to post some more complete summaries of the vacation as well as a collection of pictures we took at various locations.

We spent little time body surfing before going to a quieter beach. Some beaches were closed due to the surf

We have limited connectivity, so if we pull off Fiona's show at all tonight, we probably won't be accepting call ins. Sorry
