Down & Out
As I mentioned in my last post, I have been out with a nasty flu. Although I am feeling better, it’s now week two and I’m still not 100%. I guess I can’t expect to be back to normal for some time as this God awful stuff tends to linger or so I’m told. I…

A Day in LA
One of Michaels and my favorite musical artists, Tyrone Wells would be performing in LA at the Roxy. Tyrone holds a special place in our hearts, as it was at his concert in Seattle where Michael proposed to me. We were also lucky enough to have Tyrone perform at our wedding. While on his Where…
