For the Love of Music

30 some years ago I lived in San Diego County (El Cajon, California).  In 2017, the wife & I took a two week trip out West without any reservations or schedule.  While we were out and about, we decided to hit up San Diego.  They have the best Mexican food in the country.  So we made it our mission to watch the sunset on the West coast, eat tacos for breakfast and grab a 91X t-shirt.  91X is an independent radio station that specializes in Alternative music.  

We watched the sunset, and hit up a taco shop as soon as we arrived in San Diego.  Then it went all downhill from there.  We were unable to find any 91X apparel; apparently they discontinued selling such stuff, and I had to settle for an El Cajon Harley shirt.

I love San Diego and to this day I listen to 91X on my computer.  Well finally, 91X began selling clothing again.   On Christmas day I ordered a 91X shirt and it arrived on New Year’s Eve.  But I was bummed because I had just done my laundry and I refuse to wear anything that hasn’t been washed first.  

The next morning, as soon as I awoke, I threw that shirt in the washer, but then I realized that the Buckeyes were playing in the Rose Bowl, and there was no way I was going to wear any other shirt that day other than an Ohio State t.  So finally, tomorrow arrives and I put my new 91X shirt on, and I swear to God I feel like Batman. 

Maybe it’s a sign of things to come in the New Year.  Happy New Year to all – here’s to making dreams reality!

Get Your Party On!

Healing incorporates the mind, body and spirit.  There is no pill for the spirit, but there is music.   And nothing is more therapeutic than listening to music.  This ancient practice feeds the soul, and heals the spirit.  Whenever we are facing a healing crisis, music should be included.

As preventative medicine music relieves stress; and stress can cause us just as much harm as eating fast food on a daily basis.  Music can ease depression, or set the mood for a romantic date.  As a real estate agent, I have used music to prepare a house for showings.

 

Music promotes exercise and stimulates the brain cells. So not only are you healing the spirit, but the mind and body as well.  The type of music isn’t a factor, although a positive vibe is most certainly important.  So go get your groove on! 

 

BEATING A HANGOVER
Here’s a remedy to keep from getting a hangover.  Alcohol kills the vitamin B in the body that causes the hangover affect.  Get a bottle of B-100’s, Take one before you begin drinking.  Then take one a little later, while you are drinking.  And before you go to bed take a third pill.    I have done this several times in my younger days, and it works; no hangover!

THE BENEFITS OF  WINE

Wine can reduce the risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases.  According to Swedish researchers wine, when consumed in moderation, can decrease your chances of dying at an early age by one third.  Wine increase blood flow while lowering the risk of blood clots.  In addition, a glass or two a day will significantly  boost HDL (good cholesterol), while keeping LDL (bad cholesterol) from harming the body.  Wine can also slow the growth of breast cancer, as well as prostate cancer cells.  

And women, wine can cut your risk of osteoporosis  In a 2000 report in the American Journal of Epidemiology, woman who drank one to three glasses of wine had greater bone marrow density; more than non-drinkers or heavy drinkers.  And this information applies to men as well.

So here’s to your health!
