It is so good to be working in schools again. This week the school staff I work with are doing "Secret Santa". Today's gift from my Secret Santa was this: a box of tea and a VW Bus sticker! Two things that bring me a smile!

I've got the evening to myself this evening, so I'm watching one of my favorite #MTV #Unplugged videos, #AHa Summer Solstice. These guys are just as good now as they were back in the 80s.

So many great songs!

I should be working on job applications right now, but I just can't seem to be focused. Instead, I'm listening to my #PetShopBoys singles collection.

I had forgotten what a great song "Numb" for their "Fundamental" is. I will admit I am a fan of electronic artists that combine their music with orchestras. The Pet Shop Boys also did this with "Jealousy" from their "Behaviour" album.

Check out the video..

Pet Shop Boys - Numb (Official Video) [HD Upgrade]

This morning I decided that I was in the mood for New Order's first ever album, "Movement". This was the album that the members of Joy Division released after the tragic death of Joy Division's lead singer Ian Curtis.

I haven't listened to all of their albums, in sequential order, so I think that once I'm through with that album, I will move onto the next album, "Power, Corruption & Lies"

My wife made a favorite meal of mine for dinner last night: albondigas soup. So delicious!! Looking forward to leftovers for lunch today!

Happy 307 Day!

Whenever I head south in the winter, I look forward to at least a few days escape from snow. We woke up to this in Williams, Arizona.

Another song of the weekend. This one was one of my first crushes: Sheena Easton. Listening to this song always brings a smile to my face. Her voice is just amazing!

My weekend music video. I've followed the Pet Shop Boys since they first the US music charts back in the mid-80s.

They've done so many great tracks and videos, but Jealousy from their Behaviour album is still my all time favorite.

I love the mix of the classic PSB sound with orchestral sounds. Always brings a smile to my face when I hear the opening notes.
