Local Vocal – 90’s Dance A Capella Mix
Been a while since I’ve posted a video; see if you can make it through the first couple of minutes without cracking a smile.

Hans Mauli – Europe 59-64
Just some quick killer photos of places in Europe from the late 50’s and early 60’s. I know very little about the author but from the looks of these, he had (has) a good eye.

Muxtape Ten
In an effort to forget that it’s supposed to break the 110°F mark this week, I put together some tunes that I hope will keep me from going stir-crazy as I avoid all sun contact until October.

Proud Papa
We had the fortune of visiting my grandparents this weekend to help them celebrate their 60th anniversary of marriage. They still dig each other after all these years. Impressive stuff.
While there, we were able to attend church at the congregation that my grandfather has preached at almost every Sunday for the last 40+ years. Another impressive feat. His congregation is as west-Texas rural as you can get. Their membership is doubled every time our family gets together and joins them. Great stuff all around.
The icing on the cake had to be when my uncle Thom invited my son Cohen to come up and lead some singing with him. Unfortunately, like most things, I ruined it for the most part but we were able to get him on video up there singing and swaying to one of his favorite old hymns, Heavenly Sunlight.
Four generations separated our song-leader from our preacher this past Sunday and I can’t imagine anyone more pleased than the big man upstairs. Though I’ll admit I’m a pretty close second…

Final Space Shuttle Launch
I’m not a huge “space” guy but my buddy Scott (not this guy) reminded me that the final space shuttle launch of Atlantis is scheduled to happen this Friday at 11:26am EST.
If all goes well, it will be the final mission for a group that’s done some pretty amazing things in the last 40 years. What I didn’t know was the amount of cuts NASA is about to make going from a team of 6000 down to around 2000 by the end of the month. Find a TV or set your DVR, interesting enough to be able to tell your grandkids you saw the last one.
