Ships and Dip 4 - The Music: Guster

It seems a bit odd to me that my last post about the Ships and Dip cruise would be about the band that I saw the most of during the cruise. I caught lots of Guster shows, played in the Flip Cup Tournament that they hosted and spent the day on the Costa Mayan beach next to a couple of the guys and their families.

But, there you have it. This is the end of the posts and, now nearly two months after the event, I'm still happily celebrating and remembering how fantastic it was.

For my pre-cruise music lesson, Blondie suggested I get the album Lost and Gone Forever. Great choice. I love every song on it. My favorites are Barrel of a Gun, and Either Way. After I got home, I bought Easy Wonderful (Deluxe Version). Another album full of great music! Probably my favorite song from that is Stay With Me Jesus which is, no doubt, incredibly surprising to those that know me because it's actually a sincere song and not a snarky anti-religious one.

My absolute favorite moment of the cruise was with Guster and Tyler from Barenaked Ladies. Oh, my, how to describe it!?!? The Guster guys were on stage when, all of a sudden, Tyler comes running out from back stage.

Bare ass naked!

At first, we all thought he was wearing a thong. After a few more "can't turn away train wreck moments", we realized he was not. Not only did he bound around the stage, he did it several times.

For his crowing moment, he ran up to Ryan Miller (lead singer) and kissed him. It was so frakking funny!

If you want to see a video, go to Guster's Road Journal and look under the Penis of Tyler entry. Don't worry, there's a safety covering of his penis. I think the funniest part of the video is his warm up jog before he went on stage but Ryan's comments afterward are pretty funny, too.

"That's the first time I've been kissed on the mouth by a naked man."

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
