Home At Last

You don't really miss home until you have been away and that is exactly what I have been feeling lately as my wife and I have been travelling quite a bit. Pics from the places and events we've been involved this summer... (sorry, not in chronological order as I can't seem to get the pics in order with the blog tools)...

U2

So, I haven't been always a U2 fan due to the fact I had a sheltered childhood. I never really got into pop culture and music was one of them. However, I have discovered U2 later in life and I must say I am a fan now.

(Deb and I was browsing in the local Future Shop and we found the Best of 1980-1990 and 1990-2000 for $9.99 each! Yep, that is right - we were looking at used CD stores and we couldn't get it at that price!)

After watching Rattle and Hum on DVD and seeing the impact their music it has on my friends, I have been able to sit and listen to the lyrics. Yes, these guys are talented, but they also have great things to sing about. My wife's favourite song is "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" as it talks about heaven, a favourite topic of her's.

Slowly, but surely, I will discover the greats of music that I missed when I was young...
