Goodbye, Duck

Did you hear that bassist Donald “Duck” Dunn died in his sleep Monday at the age of 70? He was, of course, the long-time bassist for Booker T and the MGs; but I got to know him from The Blues Brothers (of course). Here he is in the white t-shirt, with the pipe:
You can hear more clips from his most famous performances here. 

DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT?!

As you read this, I am on my way to CLOSE on my HOUSE that I bought by MYSELF.

Up until yesterday afternoon, I was fully prepared to have everything implode (and then this would have happened), but the closing costs stayed as estimated, the mortgage insurance didn’t increase, and I ordered a cashiers check, the heavens opened, and I could only shout, like Elwood, “The house! The HOUSE!!”

Because YES! YES!! JESUS H. TAP DANCING CHRIST, I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!! I’M A HOMEOWNER!!

And god bless the United States of America!
