Pink Vinyl Axfighters

I've been enjoying some 'lost' musical gems lately - on vinyl records. They include:

Emanuel Ax - Beethoven's "Waldstein" Sonata & Eroica Variations
Glenn Miller - The Best of Glenn Miller
Al Hirt - Cotton Candy
Nat 'King' Cole - 10th Anniversary
CBS Special Products - Pipe Organ Spectacular
101 Strings - "The Sound of Henry Mancini"
Boston Symphony Orchestra - Mozart: "Jupiter" Symphony & Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

Plus other gems found at local thrift shoppes. =)

Becky, also, has been taking advantage of our new record player, an Audio-Technica AT-PL50, that Heather got me for Christmas. Becky found some short kid's stories on 45's that come with a book, and she's been enjoying the likes of Jack & the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Peter Rabbit, Curious George, etc. Good stuff. =)

We viewed a few films over the past couple of weeks, including "The Pink Panther" (2006; Steve Martin, Kevin Kline, Beyoncé Knowles) on DVD, and "Joseph: King of Dreams" (2000) on VHS.

I've also knocked out a couple of audiobooks recently, as well - "Star Wars: X-Wing - Starfighters of Adumar", and "Thought Patterns of High Performance People," a 1981 seminar by Louis E. Tice on audio cassette.

As for recent supplement products, I've recently tried some new Diablo Ice energy strips, Solaray L-Glutathione, some Nature's Way Turmeric, and a trial size bottle of iForce Nutrition's Amplified Thermoxyn fat burner.

Becky's got quite the green thumb, it turns out. Here's a status update photo of Becky's Paperwhite Narcissus flowers (just 3 weeks old):

At work, I've been busy trying to stay up-to-date with both of my blog teams on the 2007 Iron Man Blog & the 2007 Transformation Blog Contest. That's a lot of blogging! =)
