2013 01-02 Welcome!Sorry if I seem to be on a Mexico theme lately but when I look out my window, all I see is white and gray.

01-01-13 Waiting for the Sun

2013 01-01 Waiting for the SunThose of my generation know that the title for this post is also the title for the title track of the Doors third album "Waiting for the Sun." They sing
