REO Speedwagon

This past weekend the whole Chase clan (or a good portion of them) made the trip to Prairie Meadows in Des Moines to watch REO Speedwagon. It was a lot of fun for all of us to get together and rock out with the old farts. LOL, they are good and don't get me wrong they can still rock, but man are they old. Its a little unsettling I guess. I mean they weren't really my era of music but I do remember listening to them as a young child on a tape cassette in my dad's car. So Out of Season was one of my favorite songs and I would listen to it over and over.

But I saw them up there and they looked so old and tired (towards the end of the performance) and I couldn't help but think what they would have been like it their prime and how fast it all must have gone for them. I sure they stand up their on stage sometimes and think "How did we get so old!?" And thats happening to all us. One minute you're a vibrant healthy active youth and the next you're old. I suppose if you're able to keep doing what you love, with the people you love, then thats what matters, and this band I would assume, certainly is.

We certainly made some memories to last a lifetime anyway. :)

Not Too Shabby

I've been doing pretty well sticking to my "resolutions". We've attended mass fairly regularly and while Piper isn't the most attentive, I like to think we walk away with something.

I've also been trying to stick with blogging about Piper (and our family) on our other blog, "The Williams Beef". I've also been trying to take more pictures and video tape her more frequently. She does so many cute things and pretty soon she'll be all grown up and I'll be left wondering what the hell happened.

My health resolution on the other hand has not faired so well. I haven't lost or gained any weight. I'm not any more active and I (for the most part) don't eat any healthier. Oops.

Hopefully when the weather gets nice, but thats my excuse for everything. :)
