Music of the 70's

I'm certainly a child impacted by multiple decades of music.  From The Carpenters to Queensryche and between, its interesting to me how much tunes from the 70's seem to be knocking on my head these days.  That would be the first popular music I listened to thanks to my siblings (both older and more age appropriate for music from that era.)

Of course they weren't the only source for my interests in modern rock (NIN's The Fragile is one of my fave collections/albums of music ever, yet I don't think either Liz nor Tres have heard it).

Perhaps it's the high level of production artistry and polish that comes with songs like Love is the Answer by England Dan & John Ford Coley, or the amazingly original and unique prog rock provided for years by the mid 70's version of Kansas (listen to the non singles from Leftoverture and Point of Return).

I'm in a waiting period for the results of the Yervoy infusions (roughly 2 more months).  My breathing seems to be the only bodily function to be less than optimal (unless you count the possession of my left hand which I'm slowly prying loose and using better).  Frankly I'm not certain if the lung mets are the issue, but we will have a scan soon to see what's going on there.

 

Ki and I went to celebrate my wonderful mother's 80th birthday.  I was glad to have a non stop flight each way to PHX from PDX.  We put pics of her in backlit frames which sat on each table at the party (think of a cube with a photo in each side with LED lights in the middle.). We did a great job finding shots to use, and cleaned up quite a few older ones in photo shop.

I was able to get around both airports relatively well, which was a lot of walking in the end.  Regardless of the progression, stagnancy, state change or whatever, my exterior seems to be making solid progress.  Really increasing stamina is the big deal for me.

I was also proud of my extended family and the support and love they showed for Ki and my relationship.  Only got preached at once and was cut shrt (thank goodness the cake arrived when it did...).  I realize it comes from a place of love, and will leave it there.
