The Police

I will go to The Police's Reunion Tour on June 20th, this week at Staples Center, Los Angeles. BUT!, to be honest, I don't have any CDs of them and know few songs of The Police. So I went to Best Buy this evening and bought " Every Breath You Take". I took some comfort from the fact that I had actually heard some songs, and remembered, such as, "Roxanne", "Message In The Bottle", "Don't Stand So Close To Me", "Do DO DO, De Da Da Da", "Every Breath You Take". I always hear Classic Rock XM Radio/FM, so it seems those songs stick in my head.

iPhone Delivers Up to Eight Hours of Talk Time

iPhone Delivers Up to Eight Hours of Talk Time, Apple released today. I have a Samsung Black Jack, which I bought just last month, so I don't buy iPhone, but it seems very good.

Neil Young News: The Archives Released Delayed

It's OK. Yes, I can wait. No problem. I got a ticket of Pegi Young at The Attic in Santa Cruz on June 24. I hope Young will be on the stage.

Happy Father's Day!

"Cabrera Conquers At Oakmont
Oakmont, Pa. – It came down to Tiger Woods and a mere foot.
Woods was the only player standing in the way of Angel Cabrera’s first major. Surely the odds were in Woods’ favor, winner of 12 majors against Cabrera’s resume of three European Tour victories. In fact, Cabrera had never won in the United States.
But in the end, having three holes in his pocket to reach Cabrera, Woods came up short. Cabrera held off Jim Furyk and Woods to win the 107th U.S. Open. More", says USGA. I'm very happy to be a member of USGA, support the organization, and find international player won U.S.Open.

I went to my office this morning and found the fuckin' door was still locked. I came back to my apartment and watched U.S.Open from 10am to 4:30pm, when Tiger Woods missed the birdie putt on 18th hole at Oakmont. congratulations! Cabrera. The first victory in the U.S., the first major title, and the first Argentine U.S.Open Champion.

The Companion® 2 Series II multimedia speaker system by BOSE

I got The Companion® 2 Series II multimedia speaker system by BOSE today. BOSE doesn't sell at discount. I bought it at Best Buy, but it was a suggested retail price itself. They are clever.

I was shut out from my office this morning. My office is an Executive Suite, so I can access my suite 24 hours, 7 days. But the door from the elevator hall to the suites was closed and locked. I don't know why, it should be opened. Anyway, I can't work in my office today, maybe tomorrow too. It could be a trouble for me, because I went home earlier on Friday, you know, it's TGIF (Thank God It's Friday). I have something to finish before Monday. Anyway I can't help it. I went to Best Buy and got speakers.

I'm alone in my office, listening to music every hour, everyday, when I'm in. I usually listen to Deep Tracks, 40 Ch of XM Radio or Concert Vault. I have to listen better sound.

I had a lunch at Yoshinoya, Japanese beef bowl restaurant, then went back to my office. But the door was still closed. Oh my goodness! Now, I had no option but to go to golf course. My game improved significantly at Alondra GC. Just 15 minutes from my office and weekend fee is only $28, very flat course without waters. I didn't keep my score but I remember it was 44, 40. The course is very flat, but it's hard to hit greens in regulation with 6729 yards from blue tees.

For dinner, I went to Inaba, Japanese restaurant, with my old friend with his family again. I had a glass of Sapporo draft beer and Suishin、Japanese sake. Torrance is really nice place to stay for Japanese people. I can live here very conveniently, as almost same or better than in Japan.

Naughty, Bawdy and Blue by Maria Muldaur

I got "Naughty, Bawdy and Blue" by Maria Muldaur today. New release in May. Good blues album. Bonnie Raitt joined with vocal on track 3, "Separation Blues". Raitt said "How great to hear these classic blues again, done up right by one of my favorite singers and the incredible James Dapogny's Chicago Jazz Band. I loved joining in on Sippie Wallaces's Separation Blues".

Pics are album jacket. Signiture of Muldaur, she has her own liner of 4 pages. Muldaur in around 1960, from Bob Dylan's "No Direction Home".

PS: I met Muldaur in early 1990 in Jazz Club in Hong Kong, very small club with only around 50 seats.

Temecula, California

I visited my customer in Temecula, California today. Before visiting them, I visited Pala Casino Spa Resort, one of Indian casinos in California, which was also my customer. It took about one and half hours from my office in Torrance. 100 miles!, but that's a piece of cake for me now. I also visited Pechanga Casino in Temecula to see what's happening in Indian casinos in California. Picture is the entrance to Old Town Temecula. Temecula is the site of one of the oldest wineries in California. I couldn't visit winery here but I bought one bottle in a wine shop in Old Town. I can show you at next post.

PS: You don't believe me, do you? But, I didn't play any slot machines. This is a business trip. What's business am I in!? It's a secret.
