Something is just not right about that Boy

Milk and Cookies for Everybody.....or What I Did on My Summer vacation.

Saturday, August 8, 2009 6:17:31 AM

From the look of my inbox, you guys were curious as to where I ran off to. bigsmile Well, I can say with all honesty I have been having a real blast!up Problem was I decided to travel lite and wound up forgetting the Blackberry, so I was totally out of pocket and out of touch.

But, the warm up swing through the midwest went fast and smooth. Two nights in New York City, two nights in Cincinnati and three nights in Memphis, and now back home to repack and get ready to take flight across the pond for awhile.

Here's a few of the shots from NYC that were waiting for me when I got home, forwarded to me by my angel Janet. smile








So in a few days we're off to Italy and Greece for two weeks to bleed a few European eardrums, so I leave you with milk and cookies for those who choose to hang around while I'm gone.
( I may just forget and leave the wine cabinet open wink)....and PLEASE FEED THE KITTIES!
.........................cool







You and Me.......Home Sweet Home.......

Happy vacation.

KittyliciousZaphira Saturday, August 8, 2009 9:12:22 AM

That's right, do not forget to feed the kitties - that's essential! yes happy

I'm glad you had a great time - travel safe, remember to have lots of fun, and come back soon. up

*munches a cookie* Mmmm yum! heart

L2D2 Saturday, August 8, 2009 9:25:03 AM

Thought you had dropped off the face of the earth P2. Missed you. Glad you had a good run and hope to hear from you about the European thing soon. Please take lots of pictures (or get someone else to take lots of pictures) Still gonna say those traveling prayers for you. Take care. Break a leg.

PainterWoman Saturday, August 8, 2009 2:38:45 PM

MMMMMM, looks like chocolate chip cookies, probably most everyone's favorite as they are mine.

P2, love those photos. You take excellent stage shots with the sometimes subdued or striking light. Each is a painting all their own.

Glad you had a good time on your vacation and hope your 'work' trek is a good one too.

Phantom2 Saturday, August 8, 2009 10:59:19 PM


@ Star...I'll be checkin in when possible....so much to see on this trip. up
pssst Gonna show em what real heat is! lol

@ Tamil......Sorry we are behind on the banana shipments.

Here ya go! http://files.myopera.com/Phantom2/blog/bananas.jpg -



Phantom2 Saturday, August 8, 2009 11:15:29 PM


@ Zaphira.....Keeping the Kitties "Well Feed and Happy" is indeed essential to a gentleman's well being! up

Another cookie my dear? bigsmile


@ Linda.....Thanks for the Prayers......you know I hate flying over water!
Think you could see about turning the heat down a bit while I'm gone? lollol


@ Pam.....I can not take credit for the pictures, I'm always much to busy to get those kind of results. I do snap a few intimate shots from my view when I can, but nothing like these. My long time travel companion, professional photographer and first class guardian angel, Janet Maltas takes the stage shots you see in these post. She has a way of not getting in the way.....but as you see, knows what she's doing!
I'll pass on your compliment to her! up

P2, you are an absolutely handsome devil. Think of something nice while flying across the pond. Think of Kitty Kats, and Texas Women and Hair Rinses, uh, Flamingo Rinses, and all your friends back here rooting and praying for you.

I will put in a request for a damper on the heat. Can't promise though. You know August in Texas and La.

You made Monkey happy with milk and bananas.

Stardancer Sunday, August 9, 2009 2:08:01 AM

Ain't nuttin' hotter than Southern Heat, P2!

bigsmile

Have a blast!

(Pun intended. devil)

lol

L2D2 Sunday, August 9, 2009 4:57:29 AM

Got that right in every way that matters.

Flamingo Rinseflamingo-rinse Monday, August 10, 2009 2:29:22 AM

Nice to see you again, bro - haven't been around much myself either, but really good to see you alive and continuing to supply class A bananas smile

*slaps P2 on back, offers a punnet of strawberries* here dude - for the trip, if'n you acquires my drift wink

MinaMinenow Monday, August 10, 2009 2:16:24 PM

The colors are so striking... *oohs and aahh's* Very nice... yes

What kind of Blackberry you got?

Have fun in Italy (where I was born) and Greece (am half Greek) Wish I could stow away to go see, as it's a dream destination trip for me. left

And don't worry about the Kitties. They, and monkeys, are quite prized and adored in these here parts. heart

*puts out salmon for Kitty*
And a banana for monkey

KittyliciousZaphira Monday, August 10, 2009 7:02:16 PM

Mmmmmmm.... delicious!

The crew thanks you too!


@ Mina....I'm still using a Blackberry Curve 8310. Found it to be reliable and stout! up

Half Greek and born in Italy, must be from a military family. I still think Greek women are the most beautiful in Europe! And the Greek food....oOO!
And I'd love to take the whole Opera bunch with me.....you wouldn't believe the fun it can sometimes be. smile



L2D2 Monday, August 10, 2009 9:44:04 PM

L2D2 Tuesday, August 11, 2009 2:18:41 AM

L2D2 Tuesday, August 11, 2009 2:19:09 AM

L2D2 Tuesday, August 11, 2009 3:02:39 AM

Maybe you shouldn't mix em? p Do you remember Librium? The first time I flew, to Europe, I took a Librium, then I took another because of migraine I had. Didn't know how altitude makes drugs more ---druggy! I got higher 'n a kite!
God will take care of you. I know it. Easy on the Xanax, but hope they work for you. Take care. love

Stardancer Tuesday, August 11, 2009 3:04:22 AM

Have a good trip, P2. We'll miss you around here.

smile

MinaMinenow Tuesday, August 11, 2009 1:11:58 PM

Happy belated birthday, P2. party

I have the 8330 Curve, and it works great left provided you don't drop it while putting mail in the drop box, and the next car doesn't hypothetically smash it against the curb shattering the liquid screen. whistle

You caught me. bigeyes I was an army brat for like 15 years... My parents moved us every three months as my dad did specialized training.

I'm part greek, yes, got the olive skin and the dark lashes, but green eyes and much, much lighter hair... I'm a mutt. p Still, I have to agree that more traditional greek women are stunning. (Like Angeliki)

We're with you in spirit! yes And gorgeous pictures like these help us feel some of what you experience a bit more.

PainterWoman Tuesday, August 11, 2009 3:00:29 PM

Didn't know when it was your b'day but Happy belated one to you.

Have a good and safe trip P2.

L2D2 Tuesday, August 11, 2009 7:09:17 PM

Suntana Monday, September 21, 2009 12:01:55 AM

WwwwwwWHAT? Diana Krall k .. kk .. KISSED you on your birthday?! Day-Um! Can you tell her MY birthday? p

Hey, Phantom, in that Pic, you sure seem to have a LOT of Drum equipment. Is it just the lighting or do you have like 3 or 4 Bass Drums? bigeyes I've never seen anyone with more than two.

Phantom2 Monday, September 21, 2009 4:32:33 AM

Yes Sunny, I'm good friends with her husband and they have a hideaway not far from me. smile

The picture is an illusion, I think your looking at amplifiers cabinets . I very rarely use double bass drums anymore.

Suntana Monday, September 21, 2009 5:10:54 AM

I see the stack of Amps on the left.
Marshalls, are they? But, it just looks like a lot of stuff there on the Drums stage. I guess it is lights, reflections and who knows what else.
