Maricopa Blues......
Sitting here in sunny Maricopa, enjoying the company of two of the finest individuals I've ever met, The Divas have gone above and beyond to make my visit enjoyable.
The flight from Richmond was a nightmare. First time on a plane since 1990, and I now remember why I hate to fly. The take-offs are fine, the landings cause me to go white-knuckle armrest grip. More on that later.
Friday I had the pleasure of meeting in person the young man who runs Modern Conservative. We had lunch together at his house where I also met his wife and their 2 1/2 year old, who is actually a little old man in a childs body. Extremely intelligent and wise. If you've ever heard a 2 1/2 use complete sentences and inform his Dad that the joke he just made was funny, but not THAT funny, you'll understand. Chris is a Warrior for the cause. He has some great ideas, and they will be forthcoming, as soon as he says it's OK. It was truly an honor to meet them and I consider them among my friends.
Friday night we went to the Ak Chn Indian casino for dinner, and were looking for some diversion. Mrs. Diva is the social director and insists that my time here be as fulfilling as possible. The entertainment for the evening at the casino was a tribute to the Blues Brothers. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but being a Blues Brothers fanatic of the first order I was ready to watch. I was not disappointed. Video will be forthcoming. These guys were incredible. Made me believe it was Jake and Ellwood. Cartwheels and high kicks; nailed B-Movie Boxcar Blues, Flip Flop and Fly, I Ain't Got You, and I Got Everything I Need..(Almost)
I highly recommend this show if you get the chance.
