Home again...
Well..took a week off..now can I have a few days off from my week off?
I thought vacation was supposed to be time off doing nothing? Honestly I am not sure I could sit still that long..but hey.
Where did I go you ask? Well assuming you ask..
Yep that's right. Cleveland.
The reason is that is where Mrs.March is from and her parents are there, and brother. It was not all that bad a trip. We got to see everyone, eat, the kids stayed up too late every night. The downside was the freaking humidity. You could not avoid it..and if it was not that..it was raining..a LOT. There were a few areas that had a lot of flooding.
Towards the end of the week I got to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum for about the 8th? 10th? time. I love it..I really do. The cool part about it now is that I can pretty much see the new stuff, and check out the older stuff that sticks around at my leisure. They had three larger exhibits. The first was on the Vans Warped Tour. It was pretty decent and they had a lot on display. The second was on The Doors. I kinda skimmed over most of this since they have a lot of their stuff on display as usual. The final one was on The Clash and it was awesome. If you click that link you'll see the second images is the bass guitar that was smashed for the cover of the London Calling album. Its "always" on display but just seeing it..oh man..its hard to describe. Also very cool was some of Joe Strummers guitars and on the top of them were "taped on" set lists. One on top of the other. It is just cool to see them. Over all i spent about 4.5 hrs there. On the down side, the new attraction, the tour bus used by Johnny Cash. It was closed due to the weather.
From Tuesday afternoon I was unable to check any sort of email etc. It was kind of nice as the shakes wore off by Thursday..but catching up with my blogging brethren will take a few days.

Nice! I've never been to Cleveland, thus never to the R&R HoF - and it looks like I missed out on a huge opportunity.
I'd have loved to see that Clash exhibit. Damn. Yeah, there's still time.. but I'm not sure I'd be able to fit in a visit before its run is up in October.
Welcome back ... and get a haircut!
Welcome back, I've been looking forward to a new post from you. Cleveland Rocks. Well, I've never been there, but that's what The Drew Carey Show always said.
I'm glad you and the fam had a good time.
