I’m not feeling creative… So I blew off work and watched Quantum of Solace. [#]

My first career right after college was in the music industry. I managed, promoted, and was deeply immersed in the independent music industry. I worked with a number of musicians, many of whom are still friends today. One of those friends is Lavonna Zeller-Williams, whose jazz stylings have always intrigued me.
One of my current passions is social networking. Through web sites like Facebook and MySpace, I have been able to connect and re-connect with friends from all aspects of my life. Once such individual is Pete Peterson, who I went to high school with at Borah High in Boise.
Those two worlds collided in a fun way tonight when Jen and I went to Tony Starlight’s Supper Club in Portland. Lavonna was the featured performer at this great little jazz club. And who was playing saxophone? You guessed it. Pete Peterson.
And to make this story even better, both Lavonna and Peter are really great musicians! The played for nearly 2 1/2 hours, both jazz standards and songs Lavonna had penned. The riffed and crooned and provided a really excellent evening of entertainment.
If you get the chance, I highly recommend checking out Tony Starlight’s. And if Lavonna or Pete are performing… you GOTTA get there!
I have always been interested in genealogy. My active participation in research ebbs and flows based on my time and the tools I have around me. But I’ve discovered a cool new tool that is causing a resurgence in my ancestral investigation.
I’ve discovered Geni.com. This great web page is similar to social networking sites like Facebook or MySpace. I can invite my family members who can join and add the information they have on their family members.
On the first day, I personally added 100 names. In just 10 days, there are now more than 530 people listed in my tree, most of them added by other family members. How cool is that!
