My answer? SOLA!!! I have no idea how or why I came up with that but it sounded like it could have been a real word. SOLA, although not a country is, however, a municipality of Rogaland, Norway. Apparently it has nice, long stretches of beaches that are great for windsurfing. Even though it was not the correct answer to the riddle, I found out it might be a worthwhile municipality to visit someday.
P.S. the answer was LAOS!!

Orange Moon
I was flying from Vegas into San Jose tonight and watched the moon as the plane was at its highest altitude. As we descended I watched the moon become more and more orange the closer we got to the ground. Ever wonder how this happens? Me too. As I watched I noticed the smog in the atmosphere as we descended and suspected all the particles in the air refracted light thereby changing the color of the moon by the time the it reached our eyes on the ground . So I looked it up. Check out this site:

Stevie B. Concert Nite
So I went to see a Stevie B. concert today. It was a last minute event I found out about. I'm so glad I went. It took me back to my favorite days of my youth. When my cousin was able to drive and we went everywhere together listening to Stevie B. and other freestyle artists of that time. Although I miss my youth. I still feel like I am that age. Just a little wiser. When waiting for the concert my friend D. (26) and I (28) felt like the youngest people there for the first 2 hours of the night before Stevie B. began his performance.
I think alot of people there were wondering how we know the old songs so well and whether or not we were drunk since we were the only ones chair dancing. We were completely sober by the way. Guess, we were not afraid of looking ridiculous. Well I wasn't afraid. D. on the other hand may still be a little cautious but I think I'm starting to become a good influence..haha.

Long time no Blog
So I decided to start blogging for the first time in maybe 5 years. Or perhaps it has been longer. I'm hoping blogging will help me with extending my vocabulary usage and grammar in addition to providing updates to "whom it may concern." I have a feeling that most of my postings will start off with questions. These questions may be hypothetical, rhetorical, it may just be a curiosity of how other people think.
We'll see how long I can keep up with blogging. I have not been very good with it in the past.
