Aftershock 2026 | Alfred Mars

Miss Lyla made it happen in getting me to Chicago.

Miss Carrie...absolute QUEEN of Zen... An instruction in life from Chicago to Sacramento.

For a moment...I had a flashback of Krista Solars on the road. IYKYK

Nic Haven of Maui hangs with Alfred in the hotel. We talked of music, life and things in the world. Safe travels, brother.

'Typhoon' Emma has arrived. Don't let her 'small' hair bun fool you. It will show up here again later in its full glory... She is the definition of "We got trouble in River City..." Actually, she's a sweetheart. And she wrangles a hotel waffle iron like she was born to it.

Miss Jillian completes the annual overhaul. We have become 'extended family', catching each other up on our past year's adventures. She is an absolute joy! And she's a great stylist!
