- When I was 5, a family friend brought some 45s to play in my brother's record player. That was my first contact with The Fab Four.
- The first Beatles album was "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". I purchased it on CD around 1990. I never bought Beatles music before, but always like it.
- In 1992, my parents gave two Beatles Albums for my birthday: Past Masters 2 and Help!. My mom chose them, and my dad had doubts. He said to her that we wasn't even sure that I liked The Beatles. He was wrong. After all these years, those two albums are still an important part of my music collection.
- 2008. My wife and I started planning our vacation trip to Las Vegas. Two of the shows tho chose to go see were Beatles-related: "Love" and "Fab Four Mania". In my obsession to make a perfect trip and started researching more about the Beatles, and decided to buy all the albums I did not have until that point. The day we came back from that trip, I found out that Edgar was on his way. Sometimes I referred to him as "The Beatle Baby".
- 2012. In two days I will check one more item in my bucket list, watching Paul live.
This Wednesday I will travel to Houston with my brother in law and pal Oscar to see Paul McCartney. It is a good idea to look back and review the influence the Beatles had in my life. Here are the highlights:

A Few months ago, Edgar discovered "Fireman Sam" a very entertaining Welsh cartoon with a great safety message. I didn't take long to become his favorite. I got excited too, as a new favorite character gives more options for halloween costumes, birthday parties and Christmas gifts. Yeah, right! But next time I better find out where to get that stuff before promising to get him a costume or encouraging to ask for toys. All Fireman Sam merchandise is only available from England or Australia! Anyway, there nothing a father can't do for his little treasure, so here he is in his welsh fireman uniform, along with his cartoon hero, Fireman Sam. Also, stay tuned for a Fireman Sam themed birthday party! |
