An Hour Late? It's Cool..This is Rock and Roll Baby

So last night I come home from work. I find the Lovely One sprawled on the couch looking she had just run the Boston Marathon and in need of a four week nap. She pulls herself to an upright position and relays to me her office party is tonight. Now she's been having some trouble with a few of the bitches (hey. it's my blog I'll use naughty words if I want. Just be thankful I'm not using the word I really want to use) but she must put in an appearance. So she continues by telling me that "Ro", one of her good co-workers is heading to Freehold ( yes Bruce's hometown) for a concert by a musician that is managed by her husband. So I look at my wife and think 'There is no fucking way she can stay awake for all this'..But we decide to make an effort. So we hit the road and go to her office party and are greeted at the door by biotch number 1. She is so sweet, my teeth ached. of course it is all an act and while I smile and say hello, I shoot her a look that says 'I know what you're doing ass-face and I'm not in the least bit cool with it'. So I meet some of her coworkers, including Teresa who is apparently quite a hoot. She left right after we got there though and we sat with Bobcat, the owners husband. He is a pilot and still cannot believe I've never flown. I tell him something so big and heavy ( a jet) just shouldn't, logically, be able to stay in the air. He tells me he'll have me over for a six-pack and he'll explain all the physics behind it. I'm sure that will put me completely at ease...
So after the party we head to the pub/restaraunt Cliftons in Freehold and wait. The show was supposed to start @ 8 but this is rock and roll..so we wait. about a half an hour later the musician comes in. His name is Jody Raffoul and he made his way to the corner of the bar where we were gathered. Ro introduced everyone and he was very nice and smiled and shook hands. He then went to the bar and ordered tea.
45 minutes later we all went to the 'club' on the second floor and settled in with only about 30 or so other people, for what was a fantastic set of acoustic music. This guy is GOOD. If I had any computer savvy I'd put an MP3 on here but that will have to wait until the Lovely One can assist me. Jody performed with a second guitarist whose name I didn't catch. His music is straight ahead rock and roll and he does, indeed rock. He even opened a few of Bon Jovi's shows this summer. If you guys have a chance to catch him locally or anywhere else do it. You will not be disappointed. I'll post his website info later today.

My Girl's Wicked Smahht

Yes.Yeas she is. The Lovely One today officially became a liscnesed New Jersey Real-Estate agent. She was as nervous as an Israeli bus-driver when she went in for the test but when my cell rang at work at around 2, I looked at my caller id anmd taking a deep breath, answered her call. She said "Honey?"
"Yes Baby?"
"Guess what?"
"You passed??"
"I passed !!" she shouted.
I'm really very happy for her. She's been busting her butt and wracking her noggin for the last several months and to say she's been stressed out would be a wee understatement.
So congratulations sweety!!!!
