Talk To Me Tuesday #1 – New CD on the Way!
Let’s Talk – Me First!
Last week, I told you a new CD is on the way, and introduced “Talk To Me Tuesdays.” For the 1st official “Talk To Me Tuesday,” I thought I?d share some fun facts about the new CD.
Words To Live By
I like to look at bumper stickers and am facinated by how much can be summed up in so few words. What facinates me even more is to see the combination of bumper stickers that a person may post on his/her car. How much of our world view can be summed up by bumper stickers?
As a dog lover, one of my favorites is, “Be the person your dog thinks you are.”
I recently heard Representative John Lewis speak and he gave two quotes that I liked: “We may have come over on different ships, but we’re all in the same boat now,” and “Be a headlight, not a taillight.”
If I were a woman, one that would definitely be appropriate would be, “The only bush I trust is my own.”
So what are your words to live by? Post yours on my blog at www.myspace.com/mikerickard
13.1
That?s how many miles I ran Sunday in the ING Georgia Half Marathon. It took me 1 hour, 59 minutes and 27 seconds. I?ve been a runner at various times in my life, but never a total die hard – and I?ve never run more than a 10K (6.2 miles) at a time. But I got inspired. I was on my way to the gym during the last year?s ING marathon, so I watched for a while – and felt inspired. I decided to do something physical that I had never done before.

Meet Me At The Funplex
There?s a lot of music coming out this spring that I?m pumped about…the CD I?m most excited about right now is Funplex by the B-52?s, which was released today. It was streaming on AOL last week, so I had the chance to listen to it several times, albeit not how I would most enjoy – cranked up either in the car or my iPod. That?s okay – I?ve got a signed edition on the way…more about that later.

How Green Are You?
I have to admit it. Eric has always been more of a responsible person when it came to recycling, conserving our resources, etc. It took me seeing “An Inconvenient Truth” to get me truly onboard. We’ve made a number of changes to our life and I think we’re fairly green.

I’m On YouTube!
I just wanted to post a quick note to let you know that I have a video out on YouTube. It’s an in-studio performance of my song “Lucky” for www.freeguitarvideos.com. My guitar teacher asked me to do it – we actually recorded it a few months ago – and I kind of forgot about it. Anyway, just a few days ago, I saw that it was posted on YouTube. So check it out – and be sure to rate it and leave comments.
I’ll be posting some live concert videos from my summer tour in the next few weeks. In the meantime, enjoy “Lucky.”
Good TV
It’s been two days since the Hollywood writers went on strike. I’m anxious to see what will happen to the TV season and my favorite shows: Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters, plus three other favorites that haven’t aired yet this season, 24, Medium and The New Adventures of Old Christine. Hopefully, the strike will be settled soon.

Awesome Weekend!
Sometimes it’s the simple things that make for a really great time. Friday after work, we had drinks with Tim & Wendy (our friends/neighbors) and then had dinner at Doc Chey’s, which is one of my favorite restaurants.
