Being Old has Benefits

I got a really cool toy for my 30th birthday. A Phillips “Go Gear” mp3 etc. music player. It has a keen 512MB of on board memory and an SD slot to add more. So I have been listening to more music than usual, verdict… I like it.

What’s on there you might ask?

All of Sting’s Ten Summoner’s Tales. (save 2 tracks)
4 James Taylor Songs from October Road
A couple of Greek Pop Songs (One of which is from the flake who won Eurovision last year..BTW a Ukrainian one this year)
1 John Coltrane Cover
4 Maroon 5 Songs (A guilty pleasure)
2 funky groves that came preinstalled and have proved to be great for walking.
3 Counting Crows Songs
2 Nickel Creek Songs
1 Chris Tomlin Song
2 “Teach yourself Greek” Lessons
2 “Teach yourself Russian” Lessons

Just to get back in the swing of Posting

I have so many things swilling around in my head about our trip to Ukraine that I have not been able to just sit down and write. This picture is one of my favorites from the trip. One day we went walking along the Dneper River (pronounced Neeper). I know that the river is not in view, but it is raging behind me as I took the picture. It is about 3 miles wide at the place I was standing when I took the picture. The view is of the town of Garnestyvka in Kherson Oblast. I like this little town. We received some amazing hospitality, and made some friends that I definitely want to see again. More later...
