Fog Over Dubai

We've had unseasonably foggy weather lately.  Compounding this phenomena is the density of the fog.  In the thick of it, you can't see your hands in front of you. Treacherous driving weather, for sure.

I Love Him!


Death of a Friend

I was greeted with sad news this morning when I arrived at work.

Over the holidays, a friend of mine passed away suddenly.  She was 41 years old, from Houston.

She was feeling poorly and went to the doctor Monday evening, and was admitted to the hospital.  She passed away Tuesday morning at 9:00.

When something like this happens, it causes you to pause, and reevaluate your life.

There is no doubt, we really should live each day to the fullest, appreciating all those we're blessed to have in our lives.

Here's wishing you and yours the best . . . always.

After his long-overdue induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year, Bill Withers, 77, is about to get some more well-deserved props: He will be feted at Lean On Him: A Tribute to Bill Withers at New York City's famed Carnegie Hall on Oct. 1.

An all-star lineup—including D'Angelo, Ed Sheeran, Anthony Hamilton, Ledisi and Aloe Blacc—will perform Withers' 1973 album Live at Carnegie Hall in its entirety.  Although he hasn't properly performed in years, the soul legend behind hits like "Ain't No Sunshine," "Use Me" and, of course, "Lean On Me" talks about making his return to Carnegie Hall in a rare interview.
Check out Bill's 1973 Live at Carnegie Hall album.
