Mt. Laurel, New Jersey USA Well, I'm in Jersey. In a hotel suite for three weeks. On business. It just doesn't get any more boring than this. But, I will make use of my time by hitting a few record stores to grease some palms in hopes of getting "Yeraz" some in-store play. Tower Records on South Street in Philly was my first start. After that, the Tower Records on Avenue of the Arts in Philly was next. I dropped off some promo CD's, had a Philly cheese steak, and then bought a copy of "The Osbournes" CD. What a riot. Poor Ozzy can't even speak... But, the show and his persona are hysterical...

I guess everyone is gearing up for "Kef Time-Cape Cod" here on the East Coast and then AYF Olympics in Philadelphia during Labor day weekend. I'll probably drop by on both events and take in some old fashioned American-Armenian culture. My brother just got back from Hayastan (Sevan) as did a new friend of mine (Tamar). Can't wait to get their first impressions...

I usually like to adapt to whatever surrounding I may be in. When in Armenia, I tend to hand out with great friends in ancient places. In Boston, I stroll the brick-lined streets of one of the oldest American city. In Italy, there is Rome, Venice, and Firenze.

However, I'm in Jersey. So, I'm going to hit the local mall and get a pretzel and a slurpee.
