Goin’ Down Slow… Eric Clapton

Posted by Pamela Leavey on July 2, 2011

I couldn’t resist posting another video from Eric Clapton’s One More Car, One More Rider Tour, Goin’ Down Slow:

I was at one of the shows that One More Car, One More Rider was filmed, on August 18, 2001 at the Staples Center in L.A., it was truly one of the most memorable concerts ever…

I had the pleasure of seeing Loreena McKennitt live during her “An Ancient Muse” tour, when I lived in Los Angeles. It was an amazing show. Enjoy…

Home

Home is Massachusetts… It always has been, even during the almost 19 years that I lived in Los Angeles, and the 7 lovely months I just spent in Maine, home is and always has been… Massachusetts. And… It’s good to be home.

Home is a drive along Main Street in Amesbury, looking across the Merrimack River to Newburyport… A walk along the waterfront park in downtown Newburyport, admiring all the beautiful boats in the river.

Home is a short drive to Plum Island…

There really is no place like home.

Dear Readers

Posted by Pamela Leavey on June 6, 2009

Dear Readers, I just posted the following on my political blog, The Democratic Daily, it explains why it has been so quite around my 3 blogs:

As readers have no doubt noticed it has been pretty quite around here in the past couple of weeks. I have a very full plate since my recent move back home to Massachusetts and I am juggling way too much.

When I first started The Dem Daily nearly 4 years ago, my business was far more stable and I had much more free time on my hands, as I actually could afford part time help to fill orders. The recession has taken a huge toll on my business, as it has on many small businesses. After moving to Maine from Los Angeles 7 months ago in attempt to save some money on living expenses, I found that in order to stay afloat I needed to find a job and run my business on the side.

So, here I am in Massachusetts, where I grew up, with a full time job, a business suffering from the recession and not 1, but 3 blogs (5, if you count my business blogs). Sadly, somethings need to go on the back burner, and that means the blogs get less of my time until the economy picks back up.

All that said, once I more acclimated to my new schedule, I hope to be back here posting more frequently again. And in the meantime, I hope some of the other writers that have posted here in the past will be able to jump in occassionally and keep readers up to date.

Stay tuned…

RIP Zeus

My daughter’s beautiful cat Zeus passed away this morning as we were preparing for our move to from Maine to Massachusetts tomorrow. Zeus was deeply loved by both of us and we will miss him…

Zeus was on our journey across country last fall when we moved from Los Angeles to Maine. We could not help but wonder this morning if he sensed the move coming and the stress of it made him sick.
