John 20: 1 – 9
1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag’dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
2 So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”
3 Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.
4 They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first;
5 and stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.
6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying,
7 and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself.
8 Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;
9 for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

California Dreamin’

Dec 9, 2013 | Blog

Thanks to my day job I got to spend a week in San Diego during the huge cold snap and ice storm much of the USA has been enduring during the first week of December. Hey, it’s not even officially winter yet per my calendar.  What happened to “global warming”?  When I was a kid, the “experts” back then were warning of a new ice age….maybe they were right after all.  Or maybe this is just typical earthly climate variation and we shouldn’t freak about this stuff, but just get on with life.  Anyway, it even affected southern California with the temps dipping down to an unbearable 59 degrees causing the locals to don sweaters, scarves and winter coats.

I was able to escape from the conference room dungeon long enough to make a trip over to Carvin Guitar and Pro Audio.  I posed for this pic just seconds before the rain started coming down.

The axe I “axually” liked the most is the semi hollow body hanging in the center right above my shoulder.  It is a Frank Gambale FG1 Semi-Hollow Carved Top Guitar.  It is an orange burst on quilted maple with an ebony fretboard (you don’t see that much these days) and is even available with an RMC pickup and synth access, a piezo pickup plus a C22B bridge pickup and a Frank Gambale designed FG22N neck pickup.

This guy has an awesome head of hair.  I’m talking about the dude on the right.

The worst part of the trip was when I ended up at the receiving end of a 2 car rear ender and the two rear enders sped off and did “hit and run”.  Because I was on 911 immediately I got the license and description and the cops got the offenders a few minutes later as they were stuck in San Diego afternoon I-5 “gridlock”.  I hear it is a one year suspension for hit and run in California.  “So you had a bad day?”
