NADAS = PARTY

The Nadas are in town which means one thing: P.A.R.T.Y.

The first time I saw the Nadas was a little over 3 years ago. I had just turned 21 and we were in Okoboji for the weekend with family. My dad had hosted the guys several times at the Attic (R.I.P.) and he heard that they were going to be at Whiskey Dick’s, so we headed out. That night of live music seriously changed my life.

I remember the opener was a pretty young gal, I think her name was Stella. By the time she finished her set I was about 3 Jager bombs deep, and in prime condition to lose my Nadas virginity. Their song ‘Hold On’ was stuck in my head for weeks, maybe even months after the show. Since then, I’ve attended every single Nadas show I possibly could, and I’ll continue to go see them for years to come.

TONIGHT AT THE CHESTERFIELD - THE NADAS AND MOTHER TRUCKER

On another note, one of my good friends gets married this weekend. I’m looking forward to it, but there’s a bit of a story behind this all; let me explain.

Junior year in high school I was out of town at a baseball tournament. My then girlfriend decided to stay in town and attend a party. Long story short- the girl ended up cheating on me that night. I heard the details from a friend a few days later. The said girlfriend cheated on me with one of my best friends. I got over it quick, needless to say, and we are still good friends to this day.

Fast forward 6 or so years and they are getting married, and I'm invited. It should be great :)

Congrads to your friend on the marriage. Just think it all worked out in the end. Life shouldn't be about grudges. You were just lucky she didn't cheat with you in a marriage with kids and I think that's why it is easier to let it go because you didnt have that added pressure.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
