Saturday 9 on Sunday

Just to clarify, the shirt Jaxon tossed on stage at Lady GaGa's show was one he made himself. The kid is a talented artiste, planning to go to art school.

Yesterday Pedro was working cameras for a multi-band concert and met Jason Castro. Pretty awesome!

Angel is always meeting some big musical act. The girl is laid up post-surgery right now, but will no doubt be visited at home by Chris Daughtry or Rob Thomas. Or No Doubt.

Went on a triple-date last night with Jim & Carla and Scott & Julie. It was a great time at Austin Pizza Garden! Love that place!

Saturday 9: Sweet Soul Music

1. Do you listen to music at work, and if so, do you use a mp3 player, play it through your office computer, or do you listen to it collectively via a separate radio you keep nearby?
There is a radio in the workroom by my desk. I listen to that if I'm in there for any reasonable length of time- which is rare. When working at home, I listen to music on my computer.

2. Tell us something about people that you absolutely hate.
uncompromising partisanship

3. What is something someone has done that you'd like the world to know about?
Lauren runs the two-year-olds class at church, and she is fantastic with the kids. Last weekend she even ate very well-intentioned offers of spitty Goldfish crackers from several little hands. She'll be a great mommy someday!

4. Where is your favorite place to sit when at home?
Snuggled up in the corner of the sectional in the living room

5. How did you come up with the title of your blog?
it's a line from Duran Duran's song "New Religion" and a nice, bloggy phrase for this space where I can say pretty much anything

6. Tell us about the one who got away.
He didn't get away! Mwahaha!

7. Have you ever had a big birthday party?
Super-huge, "rent a space" big? Nope.

8. What was the biggest bash you've ever attended?
AMD's company party with Richard Marx playing at our Austin venue (the Erwin Center) and Rod Stewart live via satellite from Sunnyvale. AMD's heyday!

9. With my kids and an always changing life, I find myself sometimes unable to focus! Do you have that problem, too?
Maybe that's what's happening with me right now! I am constantly remembering something I need to do or something I need to add to a list, etc. I'm afraid I'm going to miss an appointment, which is totally unlike me.
