Weekends with Spring

The recent weather has been is right on the mark, we are well into spring now and for the forthcoming weeks it's going to be just right. You have to enjoy the weather at this time of the year as in the midst of last winter we had to have a good sense of humor. Now I can say spring is within my step. As it's here.  A portion of my Saturday was going to this place called Amigos. Since I have been here for nearly a year there are some places that have surpassed time. Amigos is a restaurant by day and a club for musicians by night. I met up with some friends here and low and behold the owner was the same one that I knew. Really in these times I find that to be amazing where there are proprietors that have something unique that stands throughout two decades. I went in here with a two friends and I after an enjoyable get together over brunch, I went over and started talking to the owner and then there was something about him that I couldn't’t place a finger on. So I outright just asked him his name and told him mine as well as my brothers. Ironically he hadn’t forgot and that was amazing as we talked for five minutes on how his business has done so well. Ironically, just like that he did. My brother was much more into this place than I was. Yet back then it wasn’t fixed up it was rather new and yeah - grungy. It was ironic, I looked across and I was looking right into the 70's and there was something that again I couldn't’t place my finger on. I am not a big fan of reality shows. However with that all said this there is one very popular celebrity that has a mother in law that has lived here for years. Now this is getting too coincidental. So I went over and talked with these people and ironically there is someone within this picture that possibly many have seen on television. I used to love the band years ago believe it or not but within this one picture there is the son of a rather major celebrity that comes here now and then to visit with his grandmother. I am going to do the KISS method here (keeping it simple and silly). And I will let you see if you can pick out whom I am talking about. One hint, the father of this person has a television show that features his family, as well has still continued with a band that has played a major part of the 70's, 80's, 90's and is currently on tour right now. His son was here as they do come into town every few months.

The brunch was great and the rest of the day was good and looking forward to a continuation of this weather.

  1. This is just a guess Jack, ... is he the second man on the left [?] he is the only one that looks like a musician, long curly hair just like "Jesus Christ looked wayback then and if his father was a major part of the 70"s, 80"s and 90"s, he could very well, might adopt his father's looks:)

    Happy Springtime ... baby!

  2. I don't watch reality shows and wasn't a fan of KISS, but I'd guess the guy on the right wearing red, white and blue. There's only one member of KISS that I recall and he resembles him ... even though I can't see his tongue. LOL

  8. Frani, I am not a large fan of reality shows either, however Gene's wife - he calls Shannon his girlfriend but there is another side that coin.

    Nick Klien (Simmons is not what Nick goes by he goes by Gene's real surname - Klien)

    You got it!

  9. The above was deleted, it's one thing to have a difference of opinion, and a larger difference to have those games that are so often played. He did it before and it's a blog and I have no problems with excercisings the delete and ban.
