Circle is Complete, Almost

Last night rocked! ZZ Top was great. Karen and the kids like them too. It really is nice to finally have a place where we can get some shows and not have to drive forever.

Back when I worked in Maine, one of my best buddies was from Texas and LOVED ZZ Top. He had his car up there and when ever we went on a road trip, he would crank it up. Raul Rendon, was a self proclaimed "Texican". Half Texas; half Mexican.

Raul loved the BSA and was active as an Assistant Scoutmaster in his small town of Hondo. He worked several summers in the Maine High Adventure program.

One day we ventured off the Bangor, ME because ZZ Top was in town. We didn't have tickets, there weren't any scalpers, so we were forced to return back to base.

I finally got to see them, but I wonder if Raul ever did. He died a sudden death a few years ago.
