For many years I lived in a Being There cocoon, not knowing anything else about Wilco, and not particularly caring -- BT was keeping me happy. I used to listen to BT over and over while I sat at the torch in my freezing basement cranking out glass stuff, and always thought that DIMDreams had to be the best album-ending song in history. I'd still love to hear them end a show with it.

yep, that's exactly what I thought JJ looked like!

IMO, five years is a very long time to grieve and NOT move on. The multiplicity and shocking nature of the deaths added a component most people don't have to deal with when they lose someone. For me, the best possible outcome was when grief morphed into gratitude for having had that person in my life. That gives you a foundation on which to welcome whatever life brings you rather than recoil and isolate. Still waiting for reports back from the "martyrs" on how that 72 virgin thing worked out for them.

I guess there's no way to keep my boxful of letters here on VC for posterity, eh?

I have a lovely pic of you Lou! In the meantime .... goddesses on a mountaintop. (aka Crested Cocksucker)

Canada's a big country too.

I had the same problem with paypal, but then someone gifted me with a subscription so I didn't have to worry about it. Now however, I must make a donation of my own!

Im sorry K, really I am. You'd think slobbering on my own baby would be enough. I love when Yvon pops in. Is she opposed in the primary Dan? I can't wait to pull the level for Spitzer.

I have hard wood, and it feels pretty good!
